STM32F429I Discovery CMake Project with LVGL Integration

This project demonstrates how to set up a CMake-based development environment for the STM32F429I Discovery board and integrate it with the LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library). The project successfully runs an LVGL example on the STM32F429I board.

Features

• CMake-based Project Management:
  • Portable and modular build system, easy to configure and maintain.
  • Supports cross-platform development workflows with CMake Presets.
• LVGL Integration:
  • Demonstrates the use of the LVGL library for graphical user interface (GUI) development.
• Hardware Support:
  • Fully supports the STM32F429I Discovery board.
• VSCode Development Environment:
  • Includes configurations for VSCode with CMake Tools.

CMake Setup and Workflow

This project leverages CMake to manage the build process for STM32 projects. Additionally, the STM32 for VS Code Extension simplifies the workflow by integrating STM32CubeMX and debugging tools into the VSCode environment.

Key Features

1. CMake and STM32 for VS Code:

   • Manages the build process with CMake for portability and modularity.
   • Uses the STM32 for VS Code Extension to streamline STM32CubeMX and debugging configurations.

2. Toolchain Integration:

   • Configured for the arm-none-eabi-gcc toolchain provided by the STM32CubeIDE or GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain.

3. LVGL Integration:

   • Use CMake to fetch and build the LVGL library as part of the project.

Prerequisites

1. Install Visual Studio Code:

2. Install STM32 for VSCode Extensions:

   • Install the following extensions:
     • CMake Tools
     • STM32 for VSCode

3. Toolchain Setup:

   • Install the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain.
   • Ensure arm-none-eabi-gcc is added to your system's PATH.
