Cube IDE 2.0.0 and stm32ai-modelzoo-services: Board programs OK, but screen remains black
I encountered a bug with STM32Cube IDE 2.0.0 and \stm32ai-modelzoo-services. When I try to deploy my application using the command:
python .\stm32ai_main.py --config-path . --config-name .\user_deployment_n6_config.yaml
the board programming seems to complete successfully, but the screen remains black.
However, if I use an older version, STM32Cube IDE 1.18.1, the application deployed with the same Python script works perfectly.
