Patches project files generated by CubeMX for STM32CubeIDE to work with TouchGFX
When generating TouchGFX projects using CubeMX and the STM32CubeIDE application, it will clobber a bunch of settings in the project XML that require you to configure each time. Things like path/file excludes, duplicate entries, and of course the TouchGFX required includes. Super annoying, and since ST/TouchGFX team can't get around to fixing this in a timely manner this patch was created.
It's a .NET Core application which you can run from the command line (Windows 10). After running the utility, you should be able to refresh your project (Right-click your project, choose Refresh) and build afterwards. Note that the utility will always create a backup of the project file before patching it - but as with all software you should rely on your own backups in case of the apocolypse.
Download the latest release, and run as follows:
STM32CubeIDE-TouchGFX-Fix -p C:\MyTouchGFXProjectLocationor
dotnet build
dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64or optionally build it / run in Visual Studio.
The patcher now also patches ST's broken _sbrk implementation in FreeRTOS thanks to Dave Nadler's Newlib/FreeRTOS patch! If you don't want this to happen, pass -newlib to skip this part of the patch as it's enabled by default.
It will patch the .cproject XML file to set the appropriate includes/source values required for building with TouchGFX.
You can add this patcher as a pre-build step to your project (Project Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Build Steps -> Pre-build steps) however I haven't found a way to get the IDE to refresh the project so you would need to build, refresh the project, then build again :-/
