Hi Commnuity,
I need help with a GUI design issue I'm facing on the RT1060 EVK platform. I'm using LVGL to design the GUI, but here's the catch: the RT1060 EVK is designed in landscape mode, while I actually need it to be in portrait mode. So, what I did was create a new project in GUI guide 1.5.1 and selected a custom resolution of 272*480 (since text and other elements can't be rotated).
The GUI guide project show as below.
This configuration displays the GUI in the upper half of the screen, and I can scroll down to access the lower half where all the components work fine.
Now, here's where things get tricky. I did some research on the forum (I.MX 1060 SDK lvgl guider - rotation display ), and there was a discussion about this topic, but unfortunately, no clear conclusion was reached.
I came across the SDK PXP Rotate, and I tried to integrate it into my GUI Guide project. I called the PXP initialization function in lvgl_support.c show as below.
static void APP_InitPxp(void)
{
PXP_Init(APP_PXP);
/* PS configure. */
const pxp_ps_buffer_config_t psBufferConfig = {
.pixelFormat = APP_PXP_PS_FORMAT,
.swapByte = false,
.bufferAddr = (uint32_t)s_frameBuffer,
.bufferAddrU = 0U,
.bufferAddrV = 0U,
.pitchBytes = APP_PS_WIDTH * APP_BPP,
};
#if defined(FSL_FEATURE_PXP_V3) && FSL_FEATURE_PXP_V3
PXP_SetProcessSurfaceBackGroundColor(APP_PXP, 0U, 0U);
#else
PXP_SetProcessSurfaceBackGroundColor(APP_PXP, 0U);
#endif
PXP_SetProcessSurfaceBufferConfig(APP_PXP, &psBufferConfig);
PXP_SetProcessSurfacePosition(APP_PXP, 0, 0, APP_IMG_WIDTH, APP_IMG_HEIGHT);
/* Disable AS. */
PXP_SetAlphaSurfacePosition(APP_PXP, 0xFFFFU, 0xFFFFU, 0U, 0U);
outputBufferConfig.pixelFormat = APP_PXP_OUT_FORMAT;
outputBufferConfig.interlacedMode = kPXP_OutputProgressive;
outputBufferConfig.buffer0Addr = (uint32_t)s_frameBuffer[1];
outputBufferConfig.buffer1Addr = 0;
outputBufferConfig.pitchBytes = LCD_WIDTH * APP_BPP;
outputBufferConfig.width = LCD_WIDTH;
outputBufferConfig.height = LCD_HEIGHT;
PXP_SetOutputBufferConfig(APP_PXP, &outputBufferConfig);
/* Disable CSC1, it is enabled by default. */
PXP_EnableCsc1(APP_PXP, false);
}
Used the PXP_SetRotateConfig function to rotate the display by 90 degrees within the Demo_FlushDisplay function.
static void DEMO_FlushDisplay(lv_disp_drv_t *disp_drv, const lv_area_t *area, lv_color_t *color_p)
{
// irq = DisableGlobalIRQ();
DCACHE_CleanInvalidateByRange((uint32_t)color_p, DEMO_FB_SIZE);
/*------------------------modify by AF---------------------------*/
/* Prepare next buffer for LCD. */
PXP_SetRotateConfig(APP_PXP, kPXP_RotateProcessSurface, kPXP_Rotate90, kPXP_FlipDisable);
outputBufferConfig.buffer0Addr = (uint32_t)color_p;
PXP_SetOutputBufferConfig(APP_PXP, &outputBufferConfig);
PXP_Start(APP_PXP);
/* Wait for process complete. */
while (!(kPXP_CompleteFlag & PXP_GetStatusFlags(APP_PXP)))
{
}
PXP_ClearStatusFlags(APP_PXP, kPXP_CompleteFlag);
APP_FillFrameBuffer((void*)color_p);
ELCDIF_SetNextBufferAddr(LCDIF, (uint32_t)color_p);
s_framePending = true;
But guess what? It didn't work. It seems that rotating the PXP on the RT1060 isn't as simple as I thought.
Later, I stumbled upon an example on the RT1170 that used CPU rotation. Intrigued, I attempted to port this method to the RT1060. Interestingly, when I displayed the buffer s_frameBuffer[0], only half of the screen was visible. However, when I displayed s_frameBuffer[1], it showed a successful rotation. I'm wondering if LVGL has some underlying mechanism that causes this behavior.
To sum it up, I have a few questions and observations:
- Can PXP Rotate function used in an LVGL project?
- It seems that when the configured panel size differs from the actual panel size, LVGL stores the excess portion somewhere and enables scrolling to display it, which leads to abnormal behavior during customer configuration.
- The CPU-based rotation seems to involve some calculations in LVGL that produce the observed outcome. How to fix it?
I would greatly appreciate your input and guidance on these matters. If you need any additional information or code snippets, please let me know.
Thanks a lot for your help!
