From the project
This archive documents the development of a custom Pmod designed to connect and control an E-Ink display with the PYNQ Z2 board.
Hi there! This repo documents a personal project where I extended the functionality of the Pynq Z2 board by adding support for an E-Ink display from Adafruit. Since none of the available Pmod modules quite met my needs, I decided to roll up my sleeves and design a custom Pmod board using KiCad.
To make the integration seamless, I also created a custom IP block to handle communication between the Pynq board and the E-Ink display. On top of that, I developed a simple C API, allowing control of the display in both bare-metal applications and on a lightweight Linux distribution.
