[ButterDeco]

Generating Code in Post Generate Target step failed, 

 

I'm making custom board project using STM34F411E-DISCO board and LCD with SPI 1 connectivity, after configure board in STM32CubeMX ver 6.12 --> Generate Code --> add TouchGFX_DataTransfer.c and .h library --> open the project in TouchGFX, I put box in my screen, and tried to generate code to test configuration and got failed massage when generate the code. here the failed massage:

The project I copied from GitHub Work just fine, here the link:
https://github.com/controllerstech/STM32/tree/master/TOUCH%20GFX/ILI9341%20SPI


I tried to configure TouchGFX + Keil V5 with compiler ARMCLANG v6.22.

Hello @ButterDeco ,

It seems like the structure of your Keil project is causing the issue. Would you please open the .uvprojx in an editor and ensure that vShortEn is set to 1 under Project->Targets->TargetOption->TargetArmAds->Cads->vShortEn?

If it doesn't help, please share your project.

Best regards,

[ButterDeco]

Hi @Mohammad MORADI ESFAHANIASL,

Thank you for responding my question! I've search for vShortEn but I can't seem to find it. following your instruction I should open my project in keil uVision, I tried open options for target bud don't find Target Arm Ads. Am I doing this right?

 

[Mohammad MORADI ESFAHANIASL]

No, I meant opening your Keil project in a code editor :grinning_face_with_sweat:

Hi @Mohammad MORADI ESFAHANIASL,

Thank you! now I can successfully generated code in my Touch FX, much appreciate! now I run to a problem when build code in keil v5, the GitHub program above can run just fine without this kind of error, is it because my keil's project structure again? I haven't add any code after generate code from touchGFX. my hypotheses the problem from linker that generated from touch GFX.
