WAVESHARE e-Paper Raw Panel Shield
##################################

Overview
********

The WAVESHARE e-Paper Raw Panel Shield is a universal driver shield.
The shield can be used to drive various Electrophoretic (electronic ink)
Display (EPD) with a SPI interface.
This shield includes a 23LC1024 1Mb SPI Serial SRAM that is
not currently supported by the Zephyr RTOS.

More information about the shield can be found
at the `Universal e-Paper Raw Panel Driver Shield website`_.

Requirements
************

This shield can only be used with a board that provides a configuration
for Arduino connectors and defines node aliases for SPI and GPIO interfaces
(see :ref:`shields` for more details).

Programming
***********

Correct shield designation (see the table above) for your display must
be entered when you invoke ``west build``.
For example:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/display/lvgl
   :board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
   :shield: waveshare_epaper_gdeh0213b1
   :goals: build
