Request for Assistance with import Altium Format Files for MP157 DK-Board Compatibility

[jr_engr_mbed]

Dear ST-Electronics Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I've noticed a limited number of posts (1 or 2) regarding the import of Altium format files and the subsequent development of custom PCBs. Could any hardware professional from the ST-Community please look into this matter?.

I have access to Altium Designer and wish to import ST-design files into Altium for time-saving purposes. However, I'm unsure of the exact process and would appreciate guidance on how to proceed. I attempted to convert the SCHDOC.ASCCI format to import into EasyEDA, as I find EasyEDA easier to use for board design. However, I encountered a footprint missing error after importing into EasyEDA.

My question is, can I use Altium directly for converting the design to PCB after importing the design files? Will this method work, or is there a proper method to extract the schematic and convert it into a PCB?

I respect any suggestions or guidance you can provide me!

thankyou.

Questions about the capabilities of Altium tools, and how to use them, are probably best directed to Altium:

Thank you for your quick response. I contact altium for designing section..plz take a minute for this case and advice me on selected H.W for a custom board that needs to be compatible with two applications sharing the same hardware .By the way, if I get a proper idea about this development pathway, I think it's best to avoid unnecessary complications.so, here is my end product needs

1. ECG MACHINE- I2C touch display: Our end product features a TFT LCD 10.3-inch LVDS display at 1980x720 resolution, 24-bit color depth, and 200dpi, which is a customized bar-type display.
2. PATIENT MONITOR- normal TFT 12.3' 1280*780 lvds display with i2c.

During initial development, I chose the STM32MP157 MPU for the patient monitor, but now I require separate hardware and display for ECG pulse display at 1980x720 resolution. I'm considering GUI frameworks like Embedded Wizard or TouchGFX. Can the STM32MP157 manage both applications without Linux, or would the H745 dual-core MCU be better suited for these tasks?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

1920x720 surely? Pretty much going to be at the edge of the envelope for 2-lane bandwidth there. Would definitely recommend building a proof-of-concept from available parts/boards to confirm it's viable, with no tearing.

There's going to be VERY LITTLE support for bare-metal programming of the STM32 MP15x processors. If you're not comfortable free-climbing without ropes this is probably not a route I'd recommend. Perhaps look at u-Boot sources to get a feel for what can/can't be done outside of the Linux environment.

Hi Tesla, thank you for steering me away from a potential mismatch. Is it true that integrating a 1980x720 resolution display with an STM32 microcontroller presents challenges? Could this be due to limited SDRAM capacity? If that's the case, might a 10.3-inch display with a 1280x480 resolution be easier to manage? Also, does stm32h753 chip have the necessary libraries for GUI support? I've found a custom 4-lane TFT 1280x480 LVDS display from BuyDisplay.com. Would it be compatible with an STM32H753 MCU?

Regarding custom hardware, if I can integrate this display with TouchGFX without issues, then our end product will be ready. luckily,I've found an open-source H753+F405 board on GitHub. Is it a good idea to use this as a foundation to avoid starting from scratch? I believe importing this ready-made project is wise, considering I only need to modify the basic schematics to include the LVDS and a printer port.

If everything looks in order as you’ve assessed, please advise if I am moving in the right direction.

Thank you for your advice on the previous post. Without it, I might have been in deep trouble.
