Freenove FNK0104B build/run success stories?

[tedx]

Has anyone successfully built and run a build for a Freenove FNK0104B board (https://docs.freenove.com/projects/fnk0104/en/latest/)? Here's what I've done:
python3 make.py esp32 BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_S3 BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM_OCT DISPLAY=ILI9341 INDEV=FT6x36
The build is successful but some simple test code I've tried to run doesn't work like creating a display object or initializing the touch device.

I'm giving up on this board :( and sending it back. I can't get the lvgl_micropython I built for this board or even their C++ samples to work and display anything on the screen.

take a deep breath.. now relax a little bit... I will help you get it going...

OK so I am going to need some more information about the display you are using. I need to know the exact model number. It appears their "download first" deal is not for a single display but instead covers more than one variant.

The variant are the letters AB, N or S at the end of the model number.

and what sucks is they don't provide a datasheet for the board they made. they only provide datasheets for the different pieces that are on the board which some boards may have and some may not have. One of them being different display IC's so we don't even know what display IC is being used.

From what I am seeing in the datasheets you could possibly be using the wrong display driver. There are 3 different display IC's that are used.. The 3 different ones are ST7792, ST7796S and ILI9341V

Google search for GRS2301B display chip returns:"

AI Overview
There is currently no official or recognized electronic component, IC (integrated circuit), or display driver listed under the exact part number GRS2301B.

It's got to be the ILI9341V because it a 240x320 display and it says it on the box label ;)

I got it working with init(2) and dc=46. The vendor has some lvgl c code that worked so I compared their ILI9341_Init.h to ili9341_init_type2.py and the code looked basically the same but I also notice that their c code was using pin 46 for dc which I was not.

HEYYYY...

You just needed to do a little more investigation..

It would have been a lot easier had the manufacturer actually made up a datasheet for their board that listed all of the pins and what they were connected to. Unfortunately there are a lot of companies that do this and it sends you digging through code in order to locate the pin definitions.
