Need fastest possible LVGL graphics VGLite or PXP on iMX RT1176?

I'm looking to achieve the fastest possible graphics, i.e. scrolling, animations, etc... on the iMX RT1176, running in landscape 720x1280. What settings / example LVGL demo could I reference? Right now I'm using the MIMXRT1170-EVKB and RK055HDMIPI4MA0 5.5" inch screen.

Also using FreeRTOS, not bare metal...

Thank you,

Scott

Hi @application_ninja ,

The original example report 20FPS on my board. If you set compile optimization level to -O2, it will be 34FPS. 

The example use VGLite to off-load CPU work load. If you set  LV_USE_GPU_NXP_VG_LITE to 0, the weighted FPS is 24. And if you set compile optimization to -O2, it will be 47FPS.

 

Regards,

Jing

Hi @application_ninja ,

Please use GUI Guider. It's base on LVGL and is optimized for RT1176 and PXP.

I have tried GUI Guider and the results are still slow, this is why I am asking what are the optimal settings that can be used to achieve the best results? I would think a dual core 1Ghz processor should produce lighting fast graphics, but that's just not the case. Running the example "benchmark" LVGL programs result in less than 15fps, is this normal / expected?

-O2 does help, but still not the performance I'd expect from this device.
