Description
Hello LVGL forum users,
I’ve been trying to set up the Renesas EK-RA8D1 LVGL port project on my computer running Linux (Debian 13) and e2Studio (latest version with included FSP 6.4.0).
What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?
Renesas EK-RA8D1, GCC 13
What do you want to achieve?
Run the LVGL demo project
What have you tried so far?
- Following the instruction of this guide: RA Family | LVGL Open, I successfully cloned the github repo on my machine using this command:
git clone https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_renesas_ek-ra8d1_gcc.git
since I am using FSP 6.0 and later.
I later successfully imported the project inside e2Studio (cf. picture below)
To my surprise, the project already contains an ra folder (which normally is created and filled when clicking on the “Generate project content” button).
I then opened the configuration.xml file and clicked generate project content.
Upon compiling, this leads to an error:

To fix this error, I just removed every folder generated by the configuration.xml file and regenerated the content once again. It seems related to the ra folder already present inside the git repo.
Anyway, once the content is generated one last time, the build completes itself successfully. Perhaps, I am unable to flash the MCU because of this error:
Error in final launch sequence:
Error retrieving GDB Server parameters:

Searching for this error online, it seems to be related to the absence of an .sbd file inside the Debug folder.
For the record, I tried this method on my machine but also on a colleague’s which is running Windows 10 and e2Studio FSP 6.1.0.
Does someone also encounters this specific error?
Thank you.
