Xbox-CPU-interposer VS lvgl

N64freak sells interposer boards. Then you just need to source the taulatin processor, which technically can be any of them from 1GHz to 1.4GHz, and you can also run the Xbox overclock tool

Here you have the original from n64_freak : https://github.com/N64-Freak/Xbox-CPU-interposer

CPU? Yes. I know that there was a 1.5GHz upgrade at one point. There's a 1.4GHz upgrade possible too (as well as 1.0 and 1.2GHz). Here's some documentation. Here's a set of comments from n64-freak, and from this thread, I take it that there's someone called "Kekule" working on their own interposer board too.

So here is the thing: The iPod Nano 7g is from 2012. I've seen many people designing custom PCBs and releasing Kickstarter projects for custom audio players[5] or game handhelds[6]. I know Rockbox (which is great, but its lacks support for Wifi and Bluetooth AFAIK and just does not compete with the UX of iPod's audio book features in my opinion) and iPod Linux. 10 years ago someone even reverse engineered the iPod Nano 6g display[3].

Although I'm not skilled enough in PCB-Design, after some research I found the Lilygo T-Display S3 Pro[4] based on ESP32 S3, which would be the size, but lacks audio and OS. There is also the Mango PI CyberPad[7], which looked interesting, but maybe is already too clunky.

Programming wise, LVGL[8] may be a good framework to develop a modern and efficient UI - at least it looks promising.

So, why is nobody interested in recreating an iPod nano like device? It should be doable with modern tech, but Phones have completely taken over the marked...

LVGL is a graphics library used mostly for embedded UI's. Main website: https://lvgl.io/

Popular embedded UI library

If you need something written in C and very tiny, I recommend LVGL https://lvgl.io/

The factory code uses the Lvgl graphic library. https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl

I'm trying to interface SPI LCD (ILI943) with Zynq 7020 (PYNQ-Z2 board) and LVGL embedded UI libary. And considering between two approaches:
