Thanks for your submission 👍 . For the zephyr cloned modules generally we want to upstream changes and pull them in the next release. I will open a upstream LVGL PR containing your changes and link them in here.

@faxe1008 I see the changes were merged into the upstream LVGL. What is the plan for updating the Zephyr fork? We have release 3.7 prep getting ready to kick off with RC1 next Friday.

Hey @dleach02 thanks for the heads up. The one that was merged is targeting v9.1. We can not use that version just yet in the Zephyr integration because it would drop support for all monochrome displays. The one targeting v8.4.1 (next Zephyr version) still needs some work done, rework of some of the PXP based processing: lvgl/lvgl#6158 (comment). If there is a v8.4.1 in time I will submit a PR, although it will most likely not contain this change.

@faxe1008 do we need @0xFarahFl to submit a PR to the v8.4 then?

And why did the v9 drop monochrome displays?

@dleach02 I'd rather move on to the v9.2 release with the module since I have gotten quite a few requests when the new version will be available in Zephyr.

And why did the v9 drop monochrome displays?

I can not pin point the exact reason for this, but in the past the monochrome display support was implemented on the "library consumer side" (see https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/modules/lvgl/lvgl_display_mono.c#L56). LVGL v9 had quite big changes in regards to rendering architecture, drawing is now split up into tasks and dispatched to various drawing engines (CPU bound, VGLite, PXP etc.). Since they did a entire rewrite of the software rendering, I suppose they "dropped" it (but again this was not part of the library anyways, they removed the callback architecture) and did not add it for 9.0 and 9.1. In the meantime I went ahead and raised the PR lvgl/lvgl#6345, which got merged so at least this blocker is now resolved.

I also went ahead and added support for PXP in this PR: lvgl/lvgl#6298
Which worked, but unfortunately, last minute before the release of 9.2 they went ahead and tried to make a bunch of structs "private" meaning they moved them to dedicated headers. Which results into this issue for Zephyr:
lvgl/lvgl#6870

In short there are three possible routes going forward:

From all of these options I am in favor of the first one, since I've been working on moving this module forward since January and I like to have this merged at some point.
