@kdmukai suggests that research should be done to port the ST7789 driver to C and then call it via bindings. Keith is unsure this approach will work but assigns an informal 93% probability that it could work.
Context: I believe the motivation here is to minimize downstream library dependencies. @newtonick mentioned in unrelated testing thread about reliance on the OpenCV library that "In my dev build I saw an error about the numpy lib missing. I’m guessing numpy is a dependencies for opencv. So I added BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_NUMPY=y to the config and built in dev (with opencv removed). It worked."
The ST7789 display driver itself does not have specific library dependencies as it is a hardware component. However, when working with the ST7789 driver to control a display module, you may need to use additional libraries depending on your programming language and development environment. Possible dependencies related to Graphics Libraries: If you plan to draw graphics, images, or text on the ST7789 display, you might use a graphics library such as OpenCV, PIL (Python Imaging Library), or Cairo. These libraries provide various functions and APIs to manipulate and render graphics and images.
Possibly related to the desired outcome of this issue, @SeedSigner commented that "When the timing makes sense we should also take a look at the custom camera driver that e had commissioned for SeedHammer."
