An abstraction layer for multiple types of MIPI DSI displays

Nicolai Electronics has coded an abstraction layer for quickly experimenting with MIPI DSI displays connected to ESP32 microcontrollers.

Using various displays is fun but each controller chip has its particular ways of being initialized and used, including MIPI models. This C library abstracts the differences such that one set of code can be used for three (currently) different display driver families: EK79007, ILI9981C and ST7701(S).

An example is the MIPI display above is a ST7701S-based device, one of several Adafruit sells. The library can get the display up and running without having to know the intricacies of the display characteristics.

You can see more in the GitHub repository.
