Does this work only with HDMI displays? I have a waveshare e-ink display which connects only via GPIO interface.

I have gotten the new Nim-based FrameOS working with two different Waveshare displays. I have two other ones waiting to be tested. Check this folder [1] for the currently enabled drivers.

One of the next items on my todo list [2] is to add back support for all the different waveshare drivers out there. They all follow a similar pattern, so I should be able to generate "best guess" drivers for most of them.

Which display do you have?

Check the "Devices" section: https://frameos.net/devices/ Several Waveshare devices that connect via SPI for example are listed as compatible.
