Elecrow ESP Terminal DLC35010R, 3.5-inch parallel version

wkipoSuggested this wish · —

Please add support for the Elecrow ESP Terminal DLC35010R, a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen.

Hardware:

ESP32-S3 with 16 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM
480 × 320 display with ILI9488 controller over a 16-bit parallel (8080) bus
FT6236 capacitive touch
PWM-controlled backlight and onboard buzzer

This request is for the parallel version, marketed as “RGB,” rather than the similarly named SPI Terminal.

I have a working implementation in my Tessera fork. It adds the display driver and board profile. I installed it through Home Assistant OS and tested it on my physical Terminal; display and touch work well in normal use.

I would like to contribute the implementation through a pull request. I own the board and can help test changes and complete any additional hardware checks needed.

Hardware testing

We often do not have this board ourselves. Community testing helps establish what actually works. A successful report is evidence for the maintainer to review, not an automatic compatibility claim.

Already tried: I added experimental support in my Tessera fork for the Elecrow ESP Terminal DLC35010R (3.5-inch parallel ILI9488 display with FT6236 capacitive touch). I installed the customized Tessera app on Home Assistant OS, successfully built and flashed the firmware, and tested it on my physical display. The display and touch are working flawlessly in normal use. My fork: https://github.com/wkipo/homeassistant_espscreen/tree/elecrow-terminal-support I would like to contribute this support upstream and can test further changes on my hardware.
