Ken Van Hoeylandt db48dfe812 Fixes and improvements (#620)
- Standardized keyboard input using Unicode-based key codes across supported devices and the simulator. Keyboards don't emit `LV_KEY_*` anymore.
- Refactored lilygo encoder driver into a reusable GPIO rotary encoder driver (see `Drivers/gpio-encoder-module/`). Added more features to the config file.
- Improved LVGL keyboard device management, including duplicate prevention and reliable reconnects.
- LVGL file mutex now registers with lvgl start/stop
- Improved LVGL startup/shutdown stability and memory allocation reliability.
- Increased simulator LVGL memory capacity and improved USB device-class handling.

Button Control

Kernel driver for navigating apps with 1 or 2 GPIO buttons. Kernel-driver counterpart to Drivers/ButtonControl, exposing a KEYBOARD_TYPE device (tactility/drivers/keyboard.h) instead of an LVGL encoder indev.

Devicetree binding: tactility,button-control (see bindings/tactility,button-control.yaml).

Modes

  • One-button (pin-secondary absent): short press = LV_KEY_NEXT, long press = LV_KEY_ENTER.
  • Two-button (pin-secondary present): primary short = LV_KEY_ENTER, primary long = LV_KEY_ESC, secondary short = LV_KEY_NEXT, secondary long = LV_KEY_PREV.

Short vs. long press is only decided when the button is released, by comparing the hold duration against long-press-ms - not at the moment it's pressed.

Example

buttons {
    compatible = "tactility,button-control";
    pin-primary = <&gpio0 37 GPIO_FLAG_NONE>;
    pin-secondary = <&gpio0 39 GPIO_FLAG_NONE>;
};
