@lovexulu hey lovexulu, thanks for the information. I'm looking to learn exactly how to do what you describe, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
someone has shared with me some st7789 display driver code
https://github.com/MiyooCFW/kernel/blob/master/drivers/video/fbdev/st7789sfb.c
this comes from the miyoo 游戏机 that also uses f1c100s
so maybe if I drop this st7789sfb.c file in
licheenano/licheepi-nano-lcd/buildroot/dl/linux/git/drivers/video/fbdev/
and then make buildroot it'll bring it in? or do I need to explicitly declare the file somewhere?
more information about using this display with miyoo cfw:
