Description

What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?

STM32H750VB

What do you want to achieve?

I want to show spinner+some colors on a 4.3 inch TFT LCD.

What have you tried so far?

I’ve solved some errors and problems when I added lvgl library and edgeline C code to my project. I’m using lvgl v7.11 and I add the edgeline C code in the core folder, next to the scr, inc, and startup folders. The interface of LCD is ltdc unit and I’m pretty sure that I’ve adjusted ltdc setting correctly, but what I see on LCD is white light, just backlight works. I tried to test my lcd with a picture and I failed again and I received the same result. I programmed micro with a demo code, and it worked. Now I need some help to show something on it with lvgl.

It seems to me this issue is independent from EdgeLine and the exported code.

Can you display a simple label by lv_label_create(lv_scr_act(), NULL).

EDIT:
BTW, have you loaded an EgleLine created screen with lv_scr_load(my_screen_1)?

Hi!
I did what you said, but it didn’t work. Should I write anything in frame buffer of ltdc settings? Does it need external memory such as quad spi or sd card for showing a simple thing on lcd? I could show a picture on it and I’m sure that ltdc settings are correct.

At this stage the EdgeLine generated code is simple a replacement of your handwritten code. It does nothing with the hardware and drivers.

Have you tested this?
