Hello, I have been trying to gather a consistent picture of which possibilties currently exist to use large(r) (i.e. 6 inch and upwards, hopefully up to
13.3, which I'd be interested in) panels with an open source stack (admitting binary blobs for foreign ICs). My results have been fairly inconclusive, though it appears as if support is only rudimentary - but may be I'm also just reading it wrongly...?
So if we buy one of these panels from E-Ink (I presume), we get precisely the panel and a spec of their (panel-specific?) proprietary interface. From there on, it's up to us to connect this to Linux userland? Are there any noteworthy components which would help with that in a fashion that the CPU remains open-sourced? For example controllers bringing this down to a well-known interface such as LVDS or kernel drivers taking this into a well-known software interface such as a framebuffer or a DRM device. Once we'd have a DRM endpoint, we'd be done and could use a display server such as X.org or Wayland. Has anyone had experience with this or knows something about that?
