Describe the bug

I’m encountering an issue with the Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch V2 (capacitive version). The display does not work with the Zephyr samples provided in:

  • samples/subsys/display/lvgl
  • samples/drivers/display

Initially, I tested it with the Nucleo H563ZI board, and the display did not function as expected.

To rule out board compatibility, I also tested it using the board specifically mentioned in the Zephyr documentation:
west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 --shield adafruit_2_8_tft_touch_v2 samples/drivers/display
(Will verify if it works on a never version of the nrf52840, I was using the preview version of the silicon. Edit: works on new silicon)

However, the issue persists — there is no output on the display.

To verify that the hardware is not at fault, I ran Adafruit’s sample code on an Arduino board. The display worked perfectly there, showing animations and various graphical elements. This confirms that the TFT screen itself is functional.

Please let me know if there are any known issues, required configuration steps, or patches for getting this display working with Zephyr.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce:
1: west build -b nucleo_h563zi --shield adafruit_2_8_tft_touch_v2 samples/drivers/display -p
2: west flash
