Hello @LYANZ.1​ 

This is the reply from our developers concerning the question raised by @KDJEM.1​ in the ticket mentioned above:

he restriction about applications comes from a simple generated code consideration: an application is meant to be the root of the execution. (Excluding the main function)

It means that the function which will be generated defines the execution of the selected application. In that sense, it is meant to be the last call of the main method and should not give hand back to the main function.

Considering this, allowing two applications won't be functional as it means generating to calls in the main function and thus the second call will never be reached.

If you need both applications to be called:

- Either you may need to have an RTOS to run them in threads.

- Or we expect the user to manually add the right code to execute them (kind or orchestration code). But, in that context, they are not applications as they are not at the root of the execution.

- Or we expect to change the meaning of "Application" components.

Hope this is a sufficient response to the original question.

Kind regards,

Semer.

can I build a project include cubeai or gfx first,then using stm32 pack creator to add another unused pack to the middlewares? can they be manipulated properly?

Hello @bolukel,

 

I would say yes.

In the case of cubeAI, it generates files related to the AI model and a main.c template but other than that, you can do anything you want.

 

Have a good day,
Julian
