LVGL

Did you know that #Ubuntu runs on MPUs too? 😱 It really does, and it's amazing because it brings the fantastic Ubuntu ecosystem to the embedded world. In practice, it means you can just "sudo apt-get install liblvgl-drm-3d-dev", link it with your app, and DRM, OpenGL, and 3D just work like magic. Actually, the magician has a name too: ✨André C. ✨, who made all this possible by adding a lot of improvements to LVGL's build system, PPA integration, and much more, so that LVGL can be used seamlessly in the Linux world as well. As part of our partnership, we tested all this on Renesas Electronics's #RZG2L board, and both the developer experience and performance were really good! If you don't have such a dev board, you can also try it on your PC, as Ubuntu is Ubuntu everywhere. 😊 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dhvA9QFv Have fun! ❤️ P.S. Let us know how it went! #LVGL #Ubuntu #Renesas #Linux #Embedded #HMI #UI #3D

What does it take to build a beautiful UI for a product that ships to real customers, without a GPU or external memory? Come see for yourself at embedded world North America! 🇺🇸 We're excited to have LVGL featured at the STMicroelectronics booth in Anaheim, showcasing the user interface of #LitterRobot5. This isn't a concept or a benchmark demo. It's a real consumer product, with a production UI developed in close collaboration between Whisker and LVGL's engineering team. And the hardware behind it is surprisingly modest: 🔹 STM32H5 microcontroller running at 250 MHz 🔹 No GPU or external memory 🔹 Smooth animations and screen transitions 🔹 Memory-optimized Lottie animations 🔹 A responsive, brand-consistent UI built for a compact display One interesting engineering achievement: we reduced the Lottie animation parsing memory footprint from 325 KB to approximately 50 KB, helping deliver the visual experience Whisker wanted within the device's RAM constraints. Something we like to prove at LVGL is that a modern user experience shouldn't require expensive application processors or oversized hardware. With the right graphics framework and careful optimization, even resource-constrained microcontrollers can deliver the kind of polished interface consumers expect from premium products. 📍 embedded world North America 2026 📅 September 22–24 🏢 Anaheim Convention Center, California 🤝 STMicroelectronics — Booth #5700, STM32 GUI Ecosystem Partners wall Thank you to Whisker and STMicroelectronics for helping us showcase what LVGL can achieve in real-world products!

🤝 Nosso agradecimento à LVGL pelo apoio ao Fórum de Sistemas Embarcados e IoT 2026! A LVGL, como patrocinadora Gold, faz parte desta iniciativa que busca levar conhecimento técnico e aproximar a comunidade das tecnologias que estão transformando o desenvolvimento de sistemas embarcados. Serão três noites de palestras, de 06 a 08 de outubro, das 19h às 22h, com especialistas compartilhando conhecimentos sobre segurança, desenvolvimento de firmware, Edge AI, interfaces gráficas embarcadas, projetos e tendências do setor. 🖥️ Em um mercado cada vez mais conectado e inteligente, discutir novas soluções e experiências é fundamental para quem desenvolve as tecnologias do futuro. Obrigado, LVGL, por apoiar o Fórum de Sistemas Embarcados e IoT 2026! 🚀 🔗 Garanta sua vaga: https://lnkd.in/d2KTkAQX #LVGL #ForumEmbarcadosIoT #SistemasEmbarcados #IoT #EmbeddedSystems #EdgeAI #Firmware #InterfaceGrafica #Eletronica #PortalEmbarcados

LVGL v9.6 is out! 🎉 It is our last v9 release, and instead of packing it with new features we went over the foundations and made them better. The thing most people will notice is a faster software renderer, with no configuration change on their side. We optimized the code that was already there and refactored it until it ran up to 1.33x faster on the boards we measured. We improved the build and config system and increased test coverage across the whole codebase. We also added native Ubuntu support: LVGL is now an apt install away. A couple of new features were also added. Trimming the space above and below characters to align them better in layouts, setting font weight to any value and not just regular or bold, and many smaller changes here and there.

WebScreen firmware 4.x is available for testing, bringing LVGL 9.5 support and new graphics APIs for JavaScript applications. Five standalone demos cover curved text, chart rendering, gauges, typography, and animation. 1. Flash firmware on https://flash.webscreen.cc (select 4.x Development) 2. Install demos on https://admin.webscreen.cc This is a development release. We welcome feedback on rendering, stability, and compatibility with your existing apps.  #webscreen #LVGL #ESP32 #OpenSource #crowdsupply

Another cool video from Nishad muhammad about managing multiple resolutions in LVGL Pro. It's not just a responsive layout but custom layouts for each resolutions. Pushing it one level further you can even manage a 2D MCU and 3D MPU UI in the same project. #lvgl #ui #lvglpro
