macOS SDL

[dcmcshan]

Figured it might be useful to thread this for others.

Built with this.

 % python3 make.py macOS clean submodules mpy_cross DISPLAY=sdl_display INDEV=sdl_pointer --heap-size=8388608
chmod +x build/lvgl_micropy_macos

Moved to this application area.

 % ls
MCT_SDL.py      SDLPointer_2        libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib lvgl_micropy_macos

MCT_SDL.py look like this:

import sys
import lcd_bus
from micropython import const  # NOQA
import lvgl as lv

print ("Darwin")
_LCD_RST = const(-1)
_LCD_PWR = const(-1)
_LCD_BKL = const(-1)

# that flag will stop you from being able to resize it.
display_bus = lcd_bus.SDLBus(flags=lcd_bus.SDLBus.WINDOW_BORDERLESS)

import sdl_display

display_driver = sdl_display.SDLDisplay

import sdl_pointer

indev_driver = sdl_pointer.SDLPointer

display = display_driver(
    data_bus=display_bus,
    display_width=160,
    display_height=40,
    reset_pin=_LCD_RST,
    power_pin=_LCD_PWR,
    backlight_pin=_LCD_BKL,
    color_space=lv.COLOR_FORMAT.RGB565,
    rgb565_byte_swap=True
)

display.set_power(True)
display.init()

indev = indev_driver()

display.set_rotation(lv.DISPLAY_ROTATION._90)
display.set_backlight(100)

Import occurs, and an application starts, but there is no window for the output?

Dan, I tried what you did and also didn't get a window of output. I also had to copy in two of the sdl python files. Maybe I built it incorrectly?
