Supporting TFT displays with parallel connections

[thopiekar]

I made the mistake recently of buying two ILI9341 displays with an 8bit parallel connection.
I haven't noticed that there is a difference between the development boards and thought you could choose with these boards between SPI and parallel mode, but the SPI interface was for the SD card of course.

Anyway, while researching for a bit, I noticed a project supporting the parallel interface on this kind of board.
The good news is that this example also uses the IDF as a development environment, but can't say whether it is difficult to port the needed code here.

Would really love to see these displays supported, too. In the meantime, I just ordered another two but with SPI 😇
