Description
I am having trouble with the screen turning white immediately on startup and not showing anything. I'm using an Arduino Giga with an Arduino Giga Display Shield, LVGL v9.2.2, and Arduino_H7_Video.
To test the display buffer, I replaced the code in the display buffer to colour the screen red (i.e., replaced the code in the second for loop with Display.set(x, y, 255, 0, 0);). I saw the red streak through the display in blocks, and then the blocks be trailed almost immediately by black as the red continued down the screen (whether or not I had the code for lv_obj_t * screen_black = lv_obj_create(NULL); there or not), then the screen turned white. I also put a serial print in the flush callback that was outputting to the monitor. So I know that the flush callback is being called and is working.
If I replace lv_obj_t * screen_black = lv_obj_create(NULL); with lv_obj_t * screen_black = lv_obj_create(lv_screen_active());, leave the rest of the code for the screen obj, and remove the code for creating the display and buffers, the screen does appropriately turn black (with a small white border).
Any ideas of what might be going on here?
