Description
I’ve got LVGL running on an FreeRTOS application, with vApplicationTickHook calling lv_tick_inc(1);.
In a display task I’ve got a while(1), calling lv_timer_handler() and a delay every 5ms.
When loading a new screen (load all objects and then call lv_scr_load()), nothing happens. The flush_cb is not called anytime. Using LV_USE_LOG 1 I can see the objects are malloc’d.
Note that the very first screen that is loaded right after lv_init() and init_display() is working. See the code snippet below.
What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?
A custom board with an RT i.MX 1011. Compiling using the arm compiler from MCUXpresso
What do you want to achieve?
I’d like to be able to switch screens.
What have you tried so far?
Increasing LVGL heap size, increasing FreeRTOS heap size and increasing the stack size of the task that calls lv_timer_handler(). Also first the lv_ui object was first inside the task declared, changing it to a static global variable did no change.
Code to reproduce
Add the relevant code snippets here.
static lv_ui guider_ui; //<-- using a global lv_ui object
static void update_display_task(void *pvParameters){
//Some clock settings for the peripheral.
set_screen_t screen_sel;
lv_init();
init_display(); //<-- initialise the display
setup_ui(&guider_ui); //<-- here a display is loaded
events_init(&guider_ui); //<-- empty function (no events apply yet)
init_display_screens(&guider_ui); //<-- setup an array containing all screens so setup_screen can call them.
#if LV_USE_LOG
lv_log_register_print_cb(print_from_lvgl);
#endif
//Turn on backlight
GPIO_PinWrite(BOARD_INITPINS_LCD_B_PERIPHERAL, BOARD_INITPINS_LCD_B_CHANNEL, 1);
while(1){
//Update display here (read from queue, update display)
if(xQueueReceive(screenQueue, &screen_sel, 1 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS)){
setup_screen(&guider_ui, screen_sel.screen);
}
lv_timer_handler();
vTaskDelay(5 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
}
}
//This is called from the systick ISR every 1ms
void vApplicationTickHook(void){
lv_tick_inc(1);
}
static lv_disp_draw_buf_t disp_buf;
static lv_color_t buf_1[MY_DISP_HOR_RES * 10];
void init_display() {
//Initialise display driver
lv_disp_draw_buf_init(&disp_buf, buf_1, NULL, MY_DISP_HOR_RES * 12);
lv_disp_drv_init(&disp_drv);
disp_drv.draw_buf = &disp_buf;
disp_drv.hor_res = 160;
disp_drv.ver_res = 128;
disp_drv.flush_cb = write_display;
disp_drv.clean_dcache_cb = my_clean_dcache_cb;
lv_disp_t *disp = lv_disp_drv_register(&disp_drv);
//Setup hardware peripherals and setup display correctly here
}
Thanks for any help on this matter.
