[Following the discussion from here]
So we wanted to add an example of LVGL on the main ESP-IDF repository (I don’t know how hard it could be to do that), but I just remembered that LVGL is already available on the esp-iot-solutions repo, but it haven’t been updated in a while.
So maybe it better/easier to get the version of lvgl on that repo up to date and do a blog post about how to set up a project using the esp-iot-solution + esp-idf for a ESP32 kit.
What do you think @kisvegabor @embeddedt ?
I’ve seen that this is a frequent issue with that repository. Occasionally they do update LittlevGL, but it quickly falls out of date as it doesn’t incorporate new bugfixes.
I suppose that someone needs to take on the responsibility of updating that project every month or so.
I will try to replicate some of the issues posted over there and do a PR to fix them, if after that all the issues are solved I can update the project periodically.
Just cloned the esp-iot-solutions repo and it’s broken, even when following the README instructions…
