Well, this is a first for us…our initial prototype design for an ESP32-S3 "RGB TTL" display driver board didn't work perfectly the first time!!@!?? j/k that's like Tuesday for us…so back to the drawing board. We won't try driving the TFT from the octal PSRAM dedicated pins (35, 36, & 37 natch), which means our pin usage got squeezed out since we needed them for all the hardware and button interfacing. So we slapped on an xCA9554

- picked because it's the same i2c expander used on the official EV kit

and its pretty cheap. Now, the expander handles the three TFT SPI initialization pins, TFT and touch reset, a basic backlight on-off, and the two side buttons. That leaves us 6 GPIO free: a full SPI set and two analog pins. We will share the neopixel with the UF2 bootloader double-tap detect. Will it work? We'll find out!

How To Unlock OEM On Samsung Galaxy Phones & Tablets?

Your bootloader? Yeah, it runs Doom.

Freshly sent in by Ahmad over at Pengutronix: A port of Doom to Barebox, an open-source bootloader for embedded devices. Quoting the submission message:

I’ve since seen it running on a x86 Laptop under UEFI, on an ARM-powered tractor panel and even on a RISC-V emulator compiled to WebAssembly.

A porting guide has also been made available to aid others in the cause of making Doom run on heavy bare metal. Not the first time this has happened, oddly enough...

Thanks again to Ahmad for making, documenting and submitting this!
