I've seen several ST7789 display's with odd or different pin names. Can you post a picture showing the front and back of the display so we can see what the pins are named? Also a link to where you bought the display can be helpful.

Very cool.

I tried, when the native modules were released, but I was not able to make it work. I ran into to the linker limitation described in the docs: Linker limitation: the native module is not linked against the symbol table of the full MicroPython firmware. Rather, it is linked against an explicit table ...

Another option is to use mpfshell with a script to upload your files. I use this for uploading example programs to test new display driver code. See the upload.mpf file in https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy/tree/master/examples/T-DISPLAY for an example. It’s not very fast but it works. To inst...

Here is a link showing how I modified the VFAT file system image to add files for a ESP32 based MicroPython device using Centos 7 Linux. I have not tried modifying the littlefs file system but I suspect the process would be similar. https://gist.github.com/russhughes/13005ba77898d97a03b211c6c4f5b0c3...

I updated https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy to support the Raspberry Pi Pico.

This looks like a solution that could work https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... ption.html

You are correct, this example does not do what you are looking for.

Here is a quick and dirty example I've been using at my office to monitor temperatures and whether or not I forgot to turn off the lights. I was in a hurry when I wrote it so it's not an example of good python coding but it works well enough that I haven't rewritten it. https://gist.github.com/russh...

My guess is that is caused by using: #include "mpfile.c" in the st7789.c so the build system doesn't know about the QSTR's in mpfile.c. You should be able to remove the #include "mpfile.c" from st7789.c and add mpfile.c to the cmake. I did the same thing with "tjpgd565.c" but it does not have any QS...
