I was wondering about an ESP32 as a display device. Elsewhere in this thread there are links to video being driven via the ESP32.
I have this crazy idea of a 8-bit avr with an xmem interface connected to ESP32 GPIO. Assuming the higher clock rate of the ESP32 is enough for it to bitbang pretend to be an SRAM it could give the AVR of 64k of 'video ram'.
It's a bit weird delegating a more powerful processor to a subsystem, but at this level I don't think it is so much about the practicality as the aesthetic.
