How can LovyanGFX support the sdmmc ?

[zhjygit]

Here, i have a esp32s3-groom1-N16R8-lcd4.3,my tf cart is sdmmc type. If I want to read the png maps from sd card and draw the picture on the tft display via the gps location datas. Most of the code on github is about the spiSD card, how can LovyanGFX support the sdmmc? Waiting for you reply. Here is my project:https://github.com/jgauchia/IceNav-v3, this project uses the LovyanGFX and spiSD card. Maybe you can solve the problem.

just include FS.h or SD.h before including LovyanGFX (e.g. insert #include <FS.h> at first line of hardware/tft.h) and it will expose LGFX filesystem related functions.

however it's more practical to just stick with Stream related functions e.g. :

auto jpgFile = SD.open("/path/to/my-image.jpg");
tft.drawJpg( &jpgFile );

This works for Arduino ESP32 , have not tried yet with ESP32 IDF >5.00 and written the function changes:- Also not tested with ESP S3 or ESP C3 yet....

// updated include order as per Tobozo comment below
#define LGFX_USE_V1
#include <FS.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <LovyanGFX.hpp>

There is no SDcard SPI CS in LovyanGFX LCD SPI setup So native file handling has to be set up with includes FS/SD as normal for SD card (See SDTest in exmples for ESP32) SD card is SPI and if your LCD is an SPI type you will be sharing MISIO,MOSI and CLK so cfg.bus_shared = true; !!!

I used CS as 5 for LCD and CS as 4 for SD card Here is my SD card pin out (Arduino default VSPI) 3V3 to 3V3 pin CS 4 (GPIO4) -- NOT Default for Arduino SD card MOSI 23 (GPIO23) --Default for Arduino SD card CLK 18 (GPIO18)- -Default for Arduino SD card MISO 19 (GPIO19)--Default for Arduino SD card GND to GND pin

ths is wrong:

#define LGFX_USE_V1
#include <LovyanGFX.hpp>
#include "FS.h"
#include "SD.h"
#include "SPI.h

by doing so you just create two different instances of LovyanGFX, one with filesystem support (sketch scope) and one without it (global scope).

This works for Arduino ESP32

and it probably fails with platformio and esp-idf

filesystem related libraries should be included before LovyanGFX to prevent this:

#define LGFX_USE_V1
#include <FS.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <LovyanGFX.hpp>

@daverathbone if this works for you, please share a link I am particularly interested in working examples using SdFat / exFat working with SPI shared between SD and display

thanks!

thanks!

The format for your SDcard is handled external to the display code suggest you get an example running with your SD card format first , e.g. read file, open file etc. then the streaming or file handling should use the standard C/C++ file handling within LovyanGFX calls.

[mhaberler]

@daverathbone I considered that, but the application requires a 64bit filesystem and DataWrapper is all 32bit

I want to nail down the specific requirements in setup and calling sequence to have both the SD and display on the same bus. Very easy to create to have a display operation kill SD I/O and vice versa.

This repo https://github.com/GOB52/M5Stack_FlipBookSD has a working example of SdFat I/O and M5Unified/M5GFX - I want the same for LovyanGFX.

The whole thing is a bit of black art; for example it took me the above repo to get this to work - it is unclear to me why

        M5.Display.startWrite();
        M5.Display.clear(TFT_RED);
        M5.Display.endWrite();

is ok, but

        display.startWrite();
        display.clear(TFT_RED);
        display.endWrite();

brings down the house.

@mhaberler

M5Unified can manage more than one display, so aliasing display to M5.Display before the init occured may be the reason why you get a crash when using the alias.

M5Unified.hpp

    M5GFX Display;  // setPrimaryされたディスプレイのインスタンス
    M5GFX &Lcd = Display;

Personnally I find the macro to be more reliable than the global declaration:

#define myDisplay M5.Display

[mhaberler]

oh ok, observed behaviour starts making sense now - will adopt your macro practice

how did you find your way to this result ;-?

edit: tried, house still standing ;)

[tobozo]

how did you find your way to this result ;-?

by pulling my hair with M5Stack-SD-Updater context guessing

[mhaberler]

great, so the M5Unified version works fine with simultaneous display and SD/SdFat use

trying to use non-M5 boards, I massaged that code to use LovyanGFX and I'm back at square 1 - using display disables SD card

is this possible in principle after all, or does the status https://github.com/lovyan03/LovyanGFX/issues/491 apply (i.e. unresolved)?

works fine for target coreS3-pmtiles-m5unified, breaks for coreS3-pmtiles-lovyangfx https://github.com/mhaberler/embedded-protomaps/commits/lovyangfx/

[sukesh-ak]

If display and SD card are on the same SPI Bus, then you need to do this

https://github.com/sukesh-ak/ESP32-TUX/blob/47639648a37ffc9ef9c2a748eeb9761894b9238a/main/devices/conf_WT32SCO1.h#L120

cfg.bus_shared = true;    // Set to true when sharing the bus with sd card (bus control is performed with drawJpgFile, etc.)

And then don't initialize the bus again. Both options are demonstrated in my ESP32-TUX project.

[tobozo]

found this old gist with a very slow buf safe approach to sharing the bus, not sure if it's still working though
