M5Stack Core2

2.0" 320x240 ILI9342C with FT6336U touch. Power rails run through the AXP192 PMIC.

Backlight	Always on, or controlled by the board
PSRAM	Yes
Graphics library	LovyanGFX

ILI9342 / ILI9342C on SPI (4-wire serial): SPI clock 40 MHz, host VSPI, BGR colour order, inversion on.

FT6236 / FT6336U: I2C address 0x38, 400 kHz, shares the display bus.

The preset adds these to the Hardware tab with the board, so a sensor can go straight onto the connector.

Check your revision. Backlight and panel reset are driven by the AXP192 over I2C, not by a GPIO. Initialise the PMIC before LVGL.

Choose M5Stack Core2 on the Hardware tab (or use the button above) and every pin on this page is filled in. The export writes the sketch, lcd_pins.h, the LovyanGFX configuration, lv_conf.h and platformio.ini - a project that builds for this board as it comes.
The FT6236 / FT6336U is capacitive and needs no calibration. The firmware resets it and checks it answers on every boot.
With PSRAM the LVGL memory pool can live there, leaving internal RAM for everything else.
Screens are designed for 320 x 240 px in either orientation, with LVGL 9 or LVGL 8.

ILI9342 / ILI9342C. Landscape-native sibling of the ILI9341. Used by M5Stack Core / Core2.

FT6236 / FT6336U. Register-compatible with the FT6206. Very common on 2.8"-3.5" capacitive TFTs.

ESP32 (WROOM / WROVER). No native RGB parallel peripheral - use SPI or an 8/16-bit i80 bus.

LovyanGFX. Widest panel and bus coverage, DMA on ESP32. Configured with a C++ config class.
