Creating a #PinePhone Terminal App with #LVGL and Apache #NuttX RTOS ... All shall be explained in this article
Inside our #PinePhone Terminal for #LVGL and Apache #NuttX RTOS

Let's start the #NuttX NSH Shell ... And send it a command via a NuttX Pipe

Here's how we create a POSIX Pipe in Apache #NuttX RTOS

Standard I/O Streams will be inherited ... When we create a #NuttX Task

Here's how we create a Task in Apache #NuttX RTOS

Checking our #NuttX plumbing by Piping a Command to NSH Shell

Reading stdout from #NuttX NSH Shell will block ... If there's nothing to read! That's why we poll() for stdout

How we poll an I/O Stream in Apache #NuttX RTOS

Our #NuttX Terminal App needs to poll periodically for NSH Output ... Let's do this with an #LVGL Timer

#LVGL Widgets are Not Thread Safe ... So it's probably easier to do polling in our #NuttX Terminal App

Here's how we render the #LVGL Widgets in our #NuttX Terminal App for #PinePhone

The #LVGL Widgets in our #PinePhone Terminal App are a little messy ... We'll clean them up with LVGL Flex Layout

#NuttX Terminal App for #PinePhone looks better with a Monospaced Font ... But #LVGL Keyboard needs a Proportional Font

Here's how we handle input from #LVGL Touchscreen Keyboard ... In our #PinePhone Terminal App for Apache #NuttX RTOS

How we render NSH Output in our #LVGL Terminal App for Apache #NuttX RTOS

#LVGL Apps for #PinePhone might get too complex ... #ZigLang can help!

Now we can run #NuttX Console Apps on #PinePhone ... Without a Serial Cable! Here's how we call the #LVGL GUI Library to create a Touchscreen Terminal App
Our #PinePhone Terminal App for #NuttX looks neater ... After cleaning up with #LVGL Flex Layout
