While porting Apache NuttX RTOS to PINE64 PinePhone, we needed a way to run NuttX Commands through the Touchscreen.
That’s why we created the LVGL Terminal App that runs commands entered with a Touchscreen Keyboard. (Screenshot below)
Who might find LVGL Terminal useful?
The LVGL Terminal might be helpful for developers who need a Command-Line Interface on phone and tablet devices.
Without LVGL Terminal, PinePhone Developers would need a Serial Cable to run NuttX Commands.
Will it run on other platforms?
The code might be portable to other POSIX / Linux platforms. It uses posix_spawn()
to start a shell, and POSIX Pipes to send shell commands. I hope this code will be helpful to the LVGL Community.

Thanks everyone for the awesome LVGL code that made NuttX come alive on PinePhone!
