Question

TouchGFX firmware has a dependency on STM32CubeProgrammer

Hi,

As the title says the firmware I'm working on, which has been created using TouchGFX, will not work without having STM32CubeProgrammer installed on the system. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be or any drivers etc. that I could maybe use as a dependency instead?
Many thanks

Please explain what you mean by that:

  • The code won't build on your host machine?
  • You can't load the code onto your target?
  • The code doesn't run on the target?
  • other?
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

The program is for updating the firmware. It fails to recognise the ST-Link hardware without CubeProgrammer installed

Perhaps state what board you're using, and which USB connector on that board.

Sounds like it is looking for a driver that STM32 Cube Programmer installs, you could install that driver independently.

Why are you connecting it to a computer? Does it need USB for some other purpose, or just to power the board? If just powering, consider a Charging Only cable, without the data wires.

Depending on board, check for jumpers related to powering options.
