How to run LVGL on M5Stack

erich

@macsbug you're right, I did mention using TFT_eSPI instead of M5.Lcd only for portability reason.
I would like to create a set of sample files that I can use with any display and not only with M5Stack devices.

GoT

OMG, it works as expected! <3
If both of you have GitHub account, I'd be glad to add you as credit for the awesome help!

erich

Great, I'm glad it works for you!
I don't feel I did much to help but anyways here is my GH account: https://github.com/erich74
At the moment I juste have a couple of private reps but I am planning to add public stuff when I get more used to M5Stack devices as this is becoming my main development/iot device platform.
I will come back to this thread as I will probably need some help when I progress with my current project ;)

GoT

@erich you did more than you think.
Feel free to ask when you will need it, if the M5Core2 is enough to run your program, I would be glad to help as you did

erich

@got thanks, I will for sure ;)

Here is what I came up with (and works with lvgl/lvgl 8.1 on my Core 2).

#include <M5Core2.h>
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <lvgl.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SPI.h>

// init the tft espi
static lv_disp_draw_buf_t draw_buf;
static lv_disp_drv_t disp_drv;  // Descriptor of a display driver
static lv_indev_drv_t indev_drv; // Descriptor of a touch driver

M5Display *tft;

static void ta_event_cb(lv_event_t * e);
static lv_obj_t * kb;

static void ta_event_cb(lv_event_t * e)
{
    lv_event_code_t code = lv_event_get_code(e);
    lv_obj_t * ta = lv_event_get_target(e);
    if(code == LV_EVENT_CLICKED || code == LV_EVENT_FOCUSED) {
        /*Focus on the clicked text area*/
        if(kb != NULL) lv_keyboard_set_textarea(kb, ta);
    }

    else if(code == LV_EVENT_READY) {
        LV_LOG_USER("Ready, current text: %s", lv_textarea_get_text(ta));
    }
}

static void btnPowerOff_event(lv_event_t * event)
{
    M5.Axp.PowerOff();
}

void tft_lv_initialization() {
  M5.begin();

  lv_init();

  static lv_color_t buf1[(LV_HOR_RES_MAX * LV_VER_RES_MAX) / 10];  // Declare a buffer for 1/10 screen siz
  static lv_color_t buf2[(LV_HOR_RES_MAX * LV_VER_RES_MAX) / 10];  // second buffer is optionnal

  // Initialize `disp_buf` display buffer with the buffer(s).
  lv_disp_draw_buf_init(&draw_buf, buf1, buf2, (LV_HOR_RES_MAX * LV_VER_RES_MAX) / 10);

  tft = &M5.Lcd;
}

// 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((uint16_t *)&color_p->full, w * h, true);
  tft->endWrite();

  lv_disp_flush_ready(disp);
}

void init_disp_driver() {
  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 = LV_HOR_RES_MAX;  // Set the horizontal resolution of the display
  disp_drv.ver_res = LV_VER_RES_MAX;  // Set the vertical resolution of the display

  lv_disp_drv_register(&disp_drv);                   // Finally register the driver
  lv_disp_set_bg_color(NULL, lv_color_hex3(0x000));  // Set default background color to black
}

void my_touchpad_read(lv_indev_drv_t * drv, lv_indev_data_t * data)
{
  TouchPoint_t pos = M5.Touch.getPressPoint();
  bool touched = ( pos.x == -1 ) ? false : true;  

  if(!touched) {    
    data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_RELEASED;
  } else {
    data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_PRESSED; 
    data->point.x = pos.x;
    data->point.y = pos.y;
  }
}

void init_touch_driver() {
  lv_disp_drv_register(&disp_drv);

  lv_indev_drv_init(&indev_drv);
  indev_drv.type = LV_INDEV_TYPE_POINTER;
  indev_drv.read_cb = my_touchpad_read;
  lv_indev_t * my_indev = lv_indev_drv_register(&indev_drv);  // register
}

void setup()
{
  tft_lv_initialization();
  init_disp_driver();
  init_touch_driver();

  lv_obj_t * btn1 = lv_btn_create(lv_scr_act());
  lv_obj_t * label = lv_label_create(btn1);
  lv_obj_align(btn1, LV_ALIGN_CENTER, 0, 0);
  lv_label_set_text(label, "Power Off");
  lv_obj_center(label);
  lv_obj_add_event_cb(btn1, btnPowerOff_event, LV_EVENT_CLICKED, NULL);
}

void loop()
{
  M5.update();
  lv_task_handler();
}

@jackrazors Thanks for sharing!

I'm struggling with edgline but just realized the code which is automatically generated is not compatible with LVGL 8.x, only version 7.
Looks like they have not updated the tools since a while, not even sure if they still want to maintain it.
I am going back to old school manual coding...I don't mind writing lines of code but I am bad at designing UIs and EdgeLine seemed to be my savior (but not anymore unfortunately)

@jackrazors hello, I tried to run your code, but the function my_touchpad_read is never called..

Would be possible for you to share the repo ?
Thanks !!

Ok @JackRazors was missing lv_tick_inc(1); in the loop function

Hello@erich

LVGL 8.0.2 is listed below.

LVGL 8.0.2
LVGL 8 demo with M5Stack , M5Stamp C3
https://forum.m5stack.com/topic/4161/lvgl-8-demo-with-m5stack-m5stamp-c3

Would be perfect to use with the M5Stack Atom Display with a 7 inch display.

But does it run on an Atom ?

Hello,

I have try to run the the sketch "drawing-board" on my Core2.
Have some problem with the lv_config.h file. My question is where to store exactly this file?
Have tried several locations but always the error messages

/Users/jankromhout/Documents/Arduino/libraries/lvgl/src/../src/misc/../lv_conf_internal.h:46:120: note: #pragma message: Possible failure to include lv_conf.h, please read the comment in this file if you get errors
#pragma message("Possible failure to include lv_conf.h, please read the comment in this file if you get errors")

And with changes needed to be done.

I'm using the latest version of lvgl.

Any help is welcome.
Cheers,
Jan

Hello@powersoft

Thanks for this. Do I need make changes in lv_config.h to run it on my the core2

I've made quite many examples for M5Stack Tough

I was able to run UI (LVGL version 9) Created by SquareLine Studio on M5stack core 5 using this post
