Linux¶
Overview¶
LVGL comes with a lot of built-in Linux-related drivers and support:
Wayland, DRM, SDL, and fbdev display drivers
pthreadintegrationCMake support
Multiple repositories are available to help you get started easily. Just follow the README of the repositories listed below.
Ready-to-Use Projects¶
VSCode¶
LVGL is available for VSCode, a well-known cross-platform code editor.
It uses SDL to open a window, show the rendered content, and manage mouse and keyboard.
A ready-to-use LVGL project for VSCode is available at https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_pc_vscode.
The project uses CMake to compile LVGL, so it also serves as a CMake example.
This repository also has built-in FreeRTOS integration, making it easy to test the UI with an embedded OS.
Generic Linux Port¶
The lv_port_linux project is typically meant to be used for embedded hardware, but it runs perfectly on PC as well.
It supports all the built-in LVGL drivers in a preconfigured CMake build system, making it easy to integrate into any platform or environment.
Eclipse¶
The project for Eclipse CDT also uses SDL. It can be found at https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_pc_eclipse.
The project uses CMake to compile LVGL, so it also serves as a CMake example.
