Tips for getting started with lvgl project on ESP32

Before you get started with lvgl on ESP32, the first problem is which SDK(firmware platform) is going to be based on. You may dev ESP32 project based on Arduino or ESP-IDF(espreessif officially offered).

There are two pathes at least to implement ESP32 project. By the way, the esp32_library for arduino can be used as a submoduel(component) of ESP-IDF SDK.

path1: ESP-IDF: Develop ESP32 lvgl project with vsCode, platformIO and ESP-IDF

before start, you need to know how to implement a “Hello world” or “LED blinking” project using the vsCode+platformIO+ESP_IDF

path2: Arduino: Develop ESP32 lvgl project with vsCode, platformIO and Arduino

Arduino platform support lvgl not perfectly. You may meet version_conflict problems and obtain tough feeling when compile error exists.

The path1 is recommended.
