I’m making progress figuring out a way that works for me to import a CubeIDE project into VGDB.  The goal is to create a skeleton project in CubeIDE that generates the startup and peripheral initialization code in order to make sure the basic functionality works but use all the nice features of VGDB to do the majority of the coding.  So far, I have a STM32H7A3 skeleton project that builds and runs in CubeIDE.  I’ve imported it into a VGDB project using the  “Import an existing STM32CubeIDE .. Project” option.  The VGDB program builds and runs as well but I have 2 questions:

Q1) The CubeIDE skeleton project uses USART1 with DMA and the character match interrupt.  After I’ve imported the project into VGDB, I set a breakpoint in the character match callback.  I can build and debug the program in VGDB but in between the time I start the program and the time it hits the breakpoint in the character match callback, I get the attached GDB timeout window popping up.  To be clear, the VGDB program still runs and hits the breakpoint in my character match callback but is there something I can do to eliminate the GDB Timeout window popping up?

Q2) I’m trying to separate my new VGDB project from the original CubeIDE project so that regenerating code in CubeIDE won’t affect the code in my VGDB project.  However, it looks like the VGDB project is referencing all the files in the CubeIDE project.  I’m trying to get up to speed with CMake and it looks like what files get built are defined in the CMakeLists.txt file.  I’ve copied the first part of that file below but it looks like the path to what files are being built is defined by

{CPFver5_vgdb_LOCATION}

I’ve been trying to find where this is defined but the only place I can find it is in this line in the CMackCache.txt file

CPFver5_vgdb_LOCATION:PATH=C:/Users/gene/Documents/CPF/Software/CPFsom2023Jun11/CPFver5

but changing it there doesn’t affect the build.

My question is, can I copy all the files I need from the CubeIDE project into my my new VGDB project folder and  change the files that get built in my new VGDB project by redefining {CPFver5_vgdb_LOCATION}  and if so, how do I change it to point at the files in my new VGDB project.  Or do  I have to manually add the full path to every file in the CMakeLists.txt file?

Thanks
