Hi, 
 
 Sorry for not noticing this before, but this has a breaking change with zephyr 3.7, as the MIPI DBI driver was added: 
 https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/releases/migration-guide-3.7.html#display 
 
 Kind regards, 
 Håkon

Thank you very much for your reply! I managed to get the display working by setting the shield board to st7789v_waveshare_240x240.overlay . The solution I found for using this shield with the nRF Connect build interface was to configure CMake with the following line: set(SHIELD st7789v_waveshare_240x240) I'm not entirely sure why, but the mipi_dbi_st7789v_waveshare_240x240 overlay must be applied outside of the .dts board file that I create. When I try to overlay this node on my .dts file—even after a clean build—the display stops working. With these changes, my display now functions perfectly. This code print a "Hello World" on display. #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "lvgl_sample.h" #define LOG_LEVEL CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL #include LOG_MODULE_REGISTER(app); #define SLEEP_TIME_MS 10 static const struct gpio_dt_spec led0 = GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET(DT_ALIAS(led0), gpios); static const struct gpio_dt_spec led1 = GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET(DT_ALIAS(led1), gpios); int main(void) { int ret; uint32_t cont = 0; int blink = 0; if (!gpio_is_ready_dt(&led0)) { return 0; } if (!gpio_is_ready_dt(&led1)) { return 0; } ret = gpio_pin_configure_dt(&led0, GPIO_OUTPUT_ACTIVE); if (ret < 0) { return 0; } gpio_pin_set_dt(&led0, 1); ret = gpio_pin_configure_dt(&led1, GPIO_OUTPUT_ACTIVE); if (ret < 0) { return 0; } const struct device *display_dev; display_dev = DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_CHOSEN(zephyr_display)); if (!device_is_ready(display_dev)) { LOG_ERR("Device not ready, aborting test"); return 0; } lv_obj_t *hello_world_label = lv_label_create(lv_scr_act()); lv_label_set_text(hello_world_label, "Hello world!"); lv_obj_align(hello_world_label, LV_ALIGN_CENTER, 0, 0); lv_task_handler(); display_blanking_off(display_dev); while (1) { cont++; if(cont > 100){ gpio_pin_set_dt(&led1, blink); blink = ~blink; cont = 0; } lv_timer_handler(); k_msleep(SLEEP_TIME_MS); } return 0; }

define DEVICE_NAME_GET(dev_id) _CONCAT(__device_, dev_id)
