@lupyuen This is what happens when the user can’t even opt out of trading performance for battery life. Apple has never been a big fan of adding settings or even allowing the user to choose what’s best for them.

GPIO 4 works as MOSI but not GPIO 17 ... What if we connect GPIO 4 to 17? Nope still nothing on the #PineDio Stack ST7789 Display 🤔
Which is super strange because GPIO 4 is supposed to be MISO on #BL604 ... Not MOSI! 🤔

#BL604 doesn't seem to be transmitting anything to ST7789 on SPI MOSI (GPIO 17) ... Let's try a different pin for MOSI
ST7789's CS Pin (GPIO 20) is not exposed on #PineDio Stack's GPIO Connector ... So we use GPIO 5 to Shadow the CS Pin
#PineDio Stack SPI Port is exposed on the GPIO Connector ... So we connect our Logic Analyser there
