Add NuttX support for running DirectFB apps on MCU devices #107

Closed caramelli closed 1 year ago

Hi @caramelli I think we need include support on NuttX Apps mainline to download and compile some demos with DirectFB! ;-)

BTW, you have nice good candidates to be integrated there (TinyGLUT, fbmark, etc)

Thanks for your consideration for DirectFB on NuttX: the idea is to have an apps/examples/DirectFB/ directory with the code available at DirectFB-examples

The core library can currently be integrated and compiled simply by copying DirectFB2 into the NuttX apps/graphics/ directory.

Running DirectFB2 applications on NuttX also requires a system module based on the NuttX Framebuffer interface (nuttx/video/fb.h): work still in progress on this part and some fixes needed before pushing.

Thank you for update @caramelli! I opened an enhancement issue to include DirectFB on NuttX apps: https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps/issues/1742

Maybe we could include a simple SIMulation support like we have to LVGL: https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/platforms/sim/sim/index.html#running-lvgl

This any everybody could test it without using a supported board :-)
