I've added support for a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.64. This is a touchscreen AMOLED board (approx $24) that uses a QSPI display, with a CO5300 Driver IC, and FT3168 Touch IC, with a 280x456 resolution. Currently all supported boards are using the ST7789 LCD controller via either SPI or I80 parallel interface, so this requires some big changes.

This required me to add a new display initialization path, a new panel driver component, and board-specific configuration. Waveshare's provided demo code (on their wiki) uses the esp_lcd_sh8601 component which provides QSPI macros and follows the standard esp_lcd panel interface.

Tested:

  • changing brightness (as AMOLED brightness is controlled through a QSPI command)
  • Entire onboarding flow, and signing a transaction.

There were asserts being triggered when dialogs opened up, so that required some changes. Also some weirdness with the virtual buttons, which required some additional fixes.

First time contributing here, so would appreciate review and guidance to getting this merged in. Also probably regression testing on other boards cause i'm poor and don't have any other esp32 boards with screens atm.

I noticed that trying to flip orientation causes the device to crash. Will fix.
