LVGL Display Development

LVGL Display Development Skill

Overview

LVGL is a free and open-source graphics library for embedded systems with easy-to-use graphical elements.

Version

LVGL 9.x (ESP Component Registry: lvgl/lvgl ^9.4.0)

Installation (ESP-IDF)

# CMakeLists.txt
idf_component_register(
    SRCS "main.c"
    INCLUDE_DIRS "."
    REQUIRES lvgl esp_lcd
)

Core Concepts

1. Display Initialization

#include "lvgl.h"
#include "esp_lcd_panel_io.h"
#include "esp_lcd_panel_vendor.h"

// Initialize LVGL
lv_init();

// Create display driver
static lv_display_t *disp = lv_display_create(width, height);
lv_display_set_flush_cb(disp, my_flush_cb);

// Flush callback
static void my_flush_cb(lv_display_t *disp, const lv_area_t *area, uint8_t *px_map) {
    // Send to panel
    esp_lcd_panel_draw_bitmap(panel, x1, y1, x2+1, y2+1, px_map);
    lv_display_flush_ready(disp);
}

2. Basic Widgets

// Label
lv_obj_t *label = lv_label_create(lv_screen_active());
lv_label_set_text(label, "Hello World");
lv_obj_center(label);

// Button
lv_obj_t *btn = lv_button_create(lv_screen_active());
lv_obj_set_size(btn, 100, 40);
lv_obj_center(btn);

// Image
lv_obj_t *img = lv_image_create(lv_screen_active());
lv_image_set_src(img, &my_image);

3. Styling (v9 syntax)

static lv_style_t style;
lv_style_init(&style);
lv_style_set_bg_color(&style, lv_color_hex(0x2196F3));
lv_style_set_radius(&style, 10);
lv_style_set_text_color(&style, lv_color_white());
lv_style_set_text_font(&style, &lv_font_montserrat_16);

lv_obj_add_style(obj, &style, 0);

4. Layouts

// Flex layout
lv_obj_set_flex_flow(parent, LV_FLEX_FLOW_ROW);
lv_obj_set_flex_align(parent, LV_FLEX_ALIGN_CENTER, LV_FLEX_ALIGN_CENTER, LV_FLEX_ALIGN_CENTER);

// Grid layout
static lv_coord_t col_dsc[] = {LV_GRID_FR(1), LV_GRID_FR(1), LV_GRID_TEMPLATE_LAST};
static lv_coord_t row_dsc[] = {LV_GRID_FR(1), LV_GRID_FR(1), LV_GRID_TEMPLATE_LAST};
lv_obj_set_grid_dsc_array(parent, col_dsc, row_dsc);

5. Events

static void btn_event_cb(lv_event_t *e) {
    lv_event_code_t code = lv_event_get_code(e);
    if(code == LV_EVENT_CLICKED) {
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Button clicked!");
    }
}

lv_obj_add_event_cb(btn, btn_event_cb, LV_EVENT_CLICKED, NULL);

6. Animations

lv_anim_t a;
lv_anim_init(&a);
lv_anim_set_var(&a, obj);
lv_anim_set_values(&a, 0, 100);
lv_anim_set_duration(&a, 500);
lv_anim_set_exec_cb(&a, [](void *var, int32_t v) {
    lv_obj_set_x((lv_obj_t*)var, v);
});
lv_anim_start(&a);

Xiaozhi Display Pattern

Display Interface

class Display {
public:
    virtual void SetStatus(const char* status) = 0;
    virtual void SetChatMessage(const char* role, const char* message) = 0;
    virtual void ShowNotification(const char* text) = 0;
    virtual void SetEmotion(const char* emotion) = 0;
    virtual void ClearQRCode() = 0;
};

Usage Example

auto display = Board::GetInstance().GetDisplay();
display->SetStatus(Lang::Strings::STANDBY);
display->SetChatMessage("assistant", "Hello!");
display->SetEmotion("happy");
display->ShowNotification("Connected to WiFi");

Supported Display Drivers (ESP32)

• ILI9341 (2.8" TFT)
• ST7789 (1.3", 1.54", 2.0")
• SSD1306 (OLED)
• GC9A01 (Round display)

Memory Optimization

// Use PSRAM for frame buffer
LV_ATTRIBUTE_MEM_ALIGN static uint8_t buf1[DISP_BUF_SIZE];
lv_display_set_buffers(disp, buf1, NULL, sizeof(buf1), LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_PARTIAL);
