Hi @mjs513 and all...
I will have to look more at the software again. What my memory (which may be faulty) remembers reading probably up on WIKI for RA... is something along the line that doing individual sending of bits to the display can be REAL slow. But most operations have hardware accelerator support. I am guessing. Probably the system fonts are already on the display so you simply run a local macro on the display to display them. Likewise probably with their Font chips. I also vaguely remember discussion about how Adafruit display does not support it, but the BuyDisplay may have way to download fonts... But again this is from what I remember from a quick read awhile ago...
But soon maybe I will have to play some more...
I have been playing around with Kitchen Sink board for Ra8875, which I may order a set, to see just how bad I screwed it up
I made it the whole size of the 4.3/5" displays... So had to fill the space up with something.
It is setup to use the FRDM castellated board to get the full T3.6 Form factor, plus hopefully will work when the T4.1 boards come along, and likewise T3.6 like boards...
Most of the usual junk, like 3 pin headers for lots of the lower pin numbers. Others brought out to bottom as well.
Two pins have 3.3v -> 5v output Level shifters.
I added a T3.2 like connections as well so maybe can plug in some of the other boards like Audio...
Have Audio of two small speakers, plus Adafruit Stereo amp (with I2C configuration) Plus PT8211
Have 2 Qwiic connectors
Two 12 bit DACs
2 LEDS
2 large pots
As I said the kitchen sink.
