I am waiting for my first two Omega Dash devices.
I have been looking at LVGL emulators.
Can you suggest one that you have been using? I use Linux systems exclusively.
Thank you,

@David-Kerr I'm using the Eclipse with SDL. It works well, other than Eclipse's usual quirks. Here's nice youtube of how to set it up.

When I upgraded to from Ubuntu 18.04 to 19 it broke and I haven't had time to look into why yet but I suspect it is some versioning issue.

Thanks for that.
I like the look of Eclipse.
Will see how I go. I installed it on 18.04 and have their example working.
Best Regards,
David

Hi Crispyoz,

Thanks again for the recommendation.

@David-Kerr That's great news. I'm going to upgrade my system to Ubuntu 20, let's see if that breaks the emulator.
