Arduino H7 Video - LVGL9.X Double buffer is allocated but never used

[thodorii]

Hi, I've been running into what seems to be memory issues causing an MBED OS crash with LVGL. I was looking around to see draw buffer allocations and ran into this code. I am confused on the purpose of the 2nd draw buffer malloc when it is never used, is this an oversight?

Additionally, should this malloc size be multiplied by sizeof(lv_color_t) for the ideal lvgl recommendation of 1/10th buffer size

	#if (LVGL_VERSION_MAJOR == 9)
	/* Create a draw buffer */
	static lv_color_t * buf1 = (lv_color_t*)malloc((width() * height() / 10)); /* Declare a buffer for 1/10 screen size */
	if (buf1 == NULL) {
	return 2; /* Insuff memory err */
	}
	static lv_color_t * buf2 = (lv_color_t*)malloc((width() * height() / 10)); /* Declare a buffer for 1/10 screen size */
	if (buf2 == NULL) {
	return 2; /* Insuff memory err */
	}

	if(_rotated) {
	display = lv_display_create(height(), width());
	lv_display_set_rotation(display, LV_DISPLAY_ROTATION_270);
	//display->sw_rotate = 1;
	} else {
	display = lv_display_create(width(), height());
	}
	lv_display_set_buffers(display, buf1, NULL, width() * height() / 10, LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_PARTIAL); /*Initialize the display buffer.*/
	lv_display_set_flush_cb(display, lvgl_displayFlushing);
	lvgl_inc_thd.start(inc_thd);

I can confirm that after disabling the second buffer, I no longer see the MBED OS crashes I used to consistently get on lv_timer_handler().
