Customer:
I recently acquired an Inkplate 10 that arrived without an MCP23017 chip due to component shortage. After setting up my tools and building firmware following the instructions, the device aborts early in the boot process.
Is this a supported configuration with the ESP-IDF library? Will I have better luck with micropython or arduino?
The log shows:
D (11454) Wire: Initializing...
D (11454) EInk10: Initializing...
D (11454) Wire: Initializing...
D (11474) EInk10: MCP initialized.

It appears to be trying and failing to write to the missing chip.
