Support for a larger display

Hi
what would be the process to get a much larger display supported?
something like the RA8875 7 inch or maybe a 8876 10 inch

This is just a thought - havent decided on the size etc but just looking for the process and requirements
assuming that it has to be SPI any other requirements would be apprciated.

And yes - if you need a sample display to do this I will gladly provide it free of charge for you to keep.

HI mattybaus60,
yes it could be a interesting the support for this display in the ESP32.
At first glance, it seems quite easy to interface (in SPI or even in I2C) as it is provided with a kind of 2D accelerator.
The integrated touch controller seems to be the weakest point but many displays seems to provide an additional capacitive controller

mattybaus60, can you tell me if you know of any stores that ship to other countries and where the 10 "displays with RA8876 Controller cost less than US $ 100?
Thanks.
