It's fantastic for reverse engineering like this. You still need to point it at the right resources of course (USB captures, a vendor driver binary, firmware dumps etc). And of course this mini OLED is somewhat of a throwaway feature to begin with.

And you need to be okay with the usual AI slop - like this sentence will make any kernel developer cringe:

"It is not a DRM display — you don't get a /dev/fb"

If you want it to exist in the Linux DRM subsystem, add a driver for it! It can be done easily for stupid USB framebuffer devices like this.
