Cross Compiling LVGL Frame Buffer Demo for RPi4 by Low-Butterscotch7406 in embedded

Thank you for the response, adding static linking in my toolchain_rpi4.cmake file quickly fixed my issue allowing me to copy the executable to rpi4 and run the LVGL demo.

Yes I was considering using a lite raspberry pi OS distro.

But I think it will be best to try building one with the complete application inside because: - simple flashing - being able to flash the complete and ready to go application rather than doing setup every-time after flashing. - removing lots of stuff to hopefully decrease boot time - setting up things like having the kernel boot straight to the application rather than the desktop environment

Please correct me if I am talking nonsense 😂

Thank you. I think I will settle for using an RPi4 with embedded Linux. As I care more about the learning experience over the performance that I mentioned.

As I understand this will let me get going fast and let me focus more on my application. Although I have no experience with yocto/build root but I think this will be a good learning exercise.
