Add support for wayland
Update lv_conf with the lastest version
Update readme
Update CMakelists.txt

BTW the commit made 5h ago made changes to the Makefile, but the documentation states that it's currently broken..
Haven't tried to build with the makefile

- Update lv_conf with latest version - Modify CMakeLists.txt to support multiple configurations via options - Update README

Merge lastest change to Makefile - note: documentation states it's currently broken

Let's wait for merging Wayland in LVGL and update the submodule here too.

BTW the commit made 5h ago made changes to the Makefile, but the documentation states that it's currently broken..

@100ask does the Makefile work well now?

does the Makefile work well now?

I am currently planning to fix this issue, the meaning here is not to abandon Makefile, right?

etag4048 · 2024-07-25T06:54:29Z

@100ask Correct it means that's it's currently broken, and that cmake should be used instead. I've only removed the 'shall' verb, it was in future tense, making it slightly ambiguous. That's great news, let me know when you've fixed so that I can test it and even add the wayland target.

main.c

+ bool err = false;
+
+ /* Default values */
+ fullscreen = maximize = false;


Move the config part it to function for better readibility.

Do you mean move the switch/case used to get the options to a dedicated function ? Yes sure can

Yes, just to keep main() easier to read.

main.c

+ if (tickless == 0 && sleep_wait > 0) {
+ lv_tick_inc(sleep_wait);

+ /* Handle any Wayland/LVGL timers/events */
+ time_till_next = lv_wayland_timer_handler();
+
+ /* Run until the last window closes */
+ if (!lv_wayland_window_is_open(NULL)) {
+ break;
+ }
+
+ /* Wait for something for an event to happen */
+ if (time_till_next == LV_NO_TIMER_READY) {
+ sleep_wait = -1;
+ } else if (time_till_next > INT_MAX) {
+ sleep_wait = INT_MAX;
+ } else {
+ sleep_wait = time_till_next;

+ while ((poll(&pfd, 1, sleep_wait) < 0) && (errno == EINTR));


Can it be part of the Wayland driver?
It would be nice to keep using lv_timer_handler as it is. Can we have a timer are theard in the driver for polling?

lv_wayland_timer_handler was introduced by previous contributors, to poll for events, if there are no events the application sleeps until the next refresh. I don't see how it's possible to do this in the driver, the call to poll(2) needs to know the time to next flush so it must be called from the main run loop.

I am open for suggestions, but it's going to take some more time to refactor and re-test

What about just wrapping the whole polling + lv_timer_handler into an lv_wayland_event_loop? Similar to QNX. It' won't keep lv_timer_handlervisible, but at least it's less glue code for the user.

At first I tried disabling the event driven timer handling, to move out the call to lv_timer_handler out of the driver. But early window maximization/fullscreen doesn't work anymore on weston... It crashes because the shared memory buffers are resized and thus re-arranged. So the references in the draw units of weston become incorrect and it crashes... This is the problem I had a few months back. And the 'solution' was to build fixes around the event driven timer handler, simply because it gives more control over when the lvgl flush occurs. It can not occur in the middle of a commit. To add on top of it the event driven timer was a 'bit of hack' to begin with lvgl/lv_drivers#207. I will study the QNX driver more carefully, I see that they are pausing the timer. Will come up with something similar and make it run on weston...

After the import, it's also probably a good idea to start a re-write, it needs it...

@kisvegabor I've adjusted the driver as much as I could to match the other ones lvgl/lvgl@7783303
I prefer to implement the sleeping when the window hidden or minimized, once we refactor the driver. It currently works well on weston and Mutter which is great. Is that fine with you ? If yes, I will take of the stubs this evening/tommorow

Re-introduced the sleep when hidden feature, by using the frame done event. It's a slightly different approach than original. Works well, tested and documented.

CMakeLists.txt

+option(LV_USE_WAYLAND "Use the wayland client backend" OFF)


Hi, there is a potential issue here: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/option.html

Before that, it should be ensured that the cache has been cleared, e.g:

if(DEFINED LV_USE_WAYLAND) unset(LV_USE_WAYLAND CACHE) endif()

Hey @YobeZhou I am not quite well versed at CMake, I've copied what I found in the existing SDL simulator https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_pc_vscode/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

I usually rm -rf build when I change options.

Makefile fixed: #53

lv_conf.h

- #define LV_LINUX_FBDEV_RENDER_MODE LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_DIRECT
- #define LV_LINUX_FBDEV_BUFFER_COUNT 1
+ #define LV_LINUX_FBDEV_RENDER_MODE LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_PARTIAL
+ #define LV_LINUX_FBDEV_BUFFER_COUNT 0
 #define LV_LINUX_FBDEV_BUFFER_SIZE 60
 #endif


LV_USE_WAYLAND is missing from here.

Hello! Any updates on this PR?

kisvegabor · 2024-09-17T13:42:59Z

It seems it was forgotten. @etag4048 Will you have time to finalize it?

etag4048 · 2024-09-17T13:46:35Z

@kisvegabor @anaGrad Will attempt to finish this week, I wanted to add wayland to the regular makefile too.

kisvegabor · 2024-09-17T14:40:49Z

Fantastic, thank you! 👍

nicusorcitu · 2024-10-01T12:53:49Z
