STM32H7RS project creation is not working

[FerdinandEn]

Bug Report

• OS and Version: Windows 11
• VS Code Version: 1.96.2
• CMSIS-Solution-Extension 1.46.0
• CMSIS-Soultion 2.7.0
• Pack STM32H7RSxx_DFP v1.0.0

With the current version of the tools, it is not possible to create a project for the STM32H7RS. This processor has a boot and an application project.
The two projects are not created. I have created both projects manually. You can start CubeMX and the files are also generated by CubeMX. However, they are not integrated into the projects.

• No two projects are offered when the project is created. For a multicore (CM7/CM4) or Trustzone project, the two required projects are offered.
• The cgen files required for integrating the CubeMX files are not created

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a Project (Blank solution) for STM32H7S3L8 -> Only one project
2. Include CubeMX (Software Components)
3. Start CubeMX and generate Code -> cgen not created

The same applies to the Keil MDK (uVision)

Thanks for raising this issue. We are working with ST on a solution. Expect it in Feb/Mar 2025 (as it requires a change in CubeMX).

Reproduced: In v1.46.0 and the device STM32H7S3L8Hx only Blank solution template is shown. This default template needs manual project configuration and seems not to work for CubeMX.

Instead, the STM32H7RSxx_DFP provides a specific CubeMX solution template which contains two projects (Bootloader and Application). With the next release the create solution dialog should be fixed. As a workaround, one could copy the template manually from the pack install location.

Second issue is the outdated/erroneous Cube template shipped in STM32H7RSxx_DFP v1.0.0. The .cproject.yml files are missing the following snippet:

  generators:
    options:
    - generator: CubeMX
      map: <project>

This issue is solved in https://github.com/Open-CMSIS-Pack/STM32H7RSxx_DFP/blob/b801921a3c695749efbd408a061ddf5e45d214c3/Templates/CubeMX/Appli/Appli.cproject.yml#L10C1-L13C17 and will be shipped in the next release of the DFP.

As a workaround, one could either patch the .cproject.yml files manually, or install the dev branch of https://github.com/Open-CMSIS-Pack/STM32H7RSxx_DFP as a local repository:

gh repo clone Open-CMSIS-Pack/STM32H7RSxx_DFP
cd STM32H7RSxx_DFP
git checkout dev
cpackget add Keil.STM32H7RSxx_DFP.pdsc

Attention: cpackget 2.1.5 which is shipped in CMSIS-Toolbox 2.7.0 is affected by Open-CMSIS-Pack/cpackget#421. The above use of cpackget add to register the local pack will corrupt local_repository.pidx file so that it gets ignored and no local packs are used anymore.

Note: we are waiting for the next CubeMX (should come in Feb/Mar) as there are other issues with STM32H7RS series.
