Because I will get badge only on Saturday morning I needed to start coding on something before that. I've got exactly the same TFT-display, but pad pitch 0.5mm prevents to do anything with it by human hands ( and my 45-year old eyes are not happy either : )

So I took very similar TFT-display with different controller (but compatible) and with more human-friendly pad pitch 1 mm (on the left is broken one, but I have good one of the same kind too):
As a reference hardware I took BASYS MX3 board from DIGILENT with PIC32MX370F512L (different package than H):
to free signals for display I desoldered LCD from BASYS and put 16-pin female header instead (LCD still works if connected back to it):
then I inserted proto-board with soldered TFT-display and started playing with it:

P.S. I was not able to make it working yet, so further XORLib porting experiments happened on actual 2018 supercon badge on site during November 3-4, 2018
