Mac can Downoad.
It seems to be the download method for PC or Windows.

Sorry I did not understand that I still need to confirm the download below sorry all good now

I fetched some of these examples for Core2 and adapted them to build with PlatformIO:

https://github.com/mhaberler/m5core2-lvgl-demo.git

work through all branches!

mah

these examples use the obsolete lv_arduino library which is based upon lvgl version 7

Anybody had success getting a Core2 to work with lvgl version 8?

I see there were some massive changes between lvgl 7 and 8

I have a working demo of LVGL 8.1 running on my M5Core2.
To succeed one have to carefully read the 8.0.0 changes in the changelog:
https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/docs/CHANGELOG.md

Especially this: "lv_disp_drv_t, lv_indev_drv_t, lv_fs_drv_t needs to be static"
So you have to move these structures outside the setup function as static.

static lv_disp_drv_t disp_drv;
static lv_indev_drv_t indev_drv;

Good luck!

Hello,

Same here, I have started from scratch with LVGL 8.1 / VSCode / PIO
Still learning a lot but so far so good :)

GoT

I'm interesting of basic example (display at least a label), I'm learning C, and discover lvgl which seems amazing.
I can compile without errors but when I push my code inside my core2, nothing happened 🤔

erich

@got would you share some code sample so that we can have a look?
I am not an expert at all but i can try helping you.

GoT

That's what I used, but nothing's displayed.
I think there is something which is missing in lv_conf.h in order to be able to linked it to the M5 LCD display.
What I'm trying to do is to backport the UI Flow Drawing Board to C, just for fun, and also to learn more about how it works ^^

I'll try to create a GitHub repository tonight in order to reproduce it easily, and help people if we can make it works :p

I did not take the same approach because I am not using the M5.Lcd class but TFT_eSPI
What I understand is that M5.Lcd is also based on TFT_eSPI but M5Stack did their own implementation.
As I want full portability on my other displays and ESP boards I decided not to use M5.Lcd.
However it should work in your case.
From what I see you are missing several initialization steps and I guess this is the reason why it is not working

Here is a sample you can use:

#include "M5Core2.h"
#include "lvgl.h"
#include "MyLVEventHandler.h"

#define DISP_HOR_RES 320
#define DISP_VER_RES 240

TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI(DISP_HOR_RES, DISP_VER_RES);

static lv_disp_draw_buf_t draw_buf;

void tft_lv_initialization()
{

lv_init();

static lv_color_t buf1[(DISP_HOR_RES * DISP_VER_RES) / 10]; /*Declare a buffer for 1/10 screen size*/
static lv_color_t buf2[(DISP_HOR_RES * DISP_VER_RES) / 10]; // second buffer is optionnal

lv_disp_draw_buf_init(&draw_buf, buf1, buf2, (DISP_HOR_RES * DISP_VER_RES) / 10); // Initialize `disp_buf` display buffer with the buffer(s). With only one buffer use NULL instead buf_2

tft.begin();        // TFT init
tft.setRotation(1); // 1=horizontal 3=upside down 0=left 2=right

}

// Display flushing
void my_disp_flush(lv_disp_drv_t *disp, const lv_area_t *area, lv_color_t *color_p)
{
uint32_t w = (area->x2 - area->x1 + 1);
uint32_t h = (area->y2 - area->y1 + 1);

tft.startWrite();
tft.setAddrWindow(area->x1, area->y1, w, h);
tft.pushColors(&color_p->full, w * h, true);
tft.endWrite();

lv_disp_flush_ready(disp);

}

void init_disp_driver()
{

// Initialize the display
static lv_disp_drv_t disp_drv;     /*Descriptor of a display driver / //disp_drv.full_refresh = true;  direct mode can also be set true*/
lv_disp_drv_init(&disp_drv);       /*Basic initialization*/
disp_drv.flush_cb = my_disp_flush; /*Set your driver function*/
disp_drv.draw_buf = &draw_buf;     /*Assign the buffer to the display*/
disp_drv.hor_res = DISP_HOR_RES;   /*Set the horizontal resolution of the display*/
disp_drv.ver_res = DISP_VER_RES;   /*Set the vertical resolution of the display*/
lv_disp_drv_register(&disp_drv);   /*Finally register the driver*/

}

It seems you're not using the latest version of lvgl (the 8)

I'm trying to make it work here: https://github.com/PierreRambaud/drawing-board

erich

lol I'm from Toulouse :)

Yes I am using version 8, what makes you think otherwise?
I'll have a look at your GitHub files ;)

erich

@got said in How to run LVGL on M5Stack:

lv_conf.h

btw as you've already guessed, you have to tweak the lvgl_conf.h file otherwise it won't probably work out of the box

GoT

@erich haha that's funny how the world is really small ^^

About the version 8, my bad, I was thinking about something else, I add an error with:
tft.pushColors(&color_p->full, w * h, true);
I had to change it to:
tft.pushColors((uint16_t*) &color_p->full, w * h, true);

here's my lv_conf.h

Rebooting...

I think, I've a lot of things to learn about Cpp and its ecosystem before continue ^^'

erich

Honestly I started off reading the LVGL online help and even though I am still learning I did not have much problem making the lib work on the Core2.
However I spent some significant time before understanding the whole concept (probably because I am getting too old :) ) and you seem to be way more experienced than me so you will make it work quickly :)

My GitHub project is private (because it might end up being commercially used) but if you want I can extract the minimum code I used to display something if it can help and make it public.

By looking at the error (If I remember I got more or less the same) this looks like invalide pointer / memory allocation.

I realized that just initializing everything for LVGL to work is a real pain (when you've never played with it) but after you've understood the basic concepts it comes much clearer.
At this stage all basic things are working fine I am now moving on to Event management (button press, sliders move etc...).

Btw you can also have a look at the EdgeLine application which is a kind of LVGL companion allowing you to WYSIWYG to C/Python code automatically for you. I am very bad at designing UIs so I am starting using it for my project and it can also help you understand the code which is generated.

Haha, thank you, but I started learning C/C++ this Monday 👀
I'll try to investigate more about pointers /memory exceptions.
Everything I'll do will be on my GitHub in public repositories, my aim is to create a Tamagotchi for my daughter ^^'

GoT

FYI, I correctly display a button, I have many things left to do next, like finding the reason why my DrawingBoard.cpp pointers are badly set, but in the end, you help me a lot!
Thanks again!

For people reading this, I'll do my best to improve my GitHub repository in order to have a simple example for M5Core, explaining which parameters must be configured in lv_conf.h :)
