Are you sure about the order? I remember the color order is configurable and depends on the driver.

The driver only supports SPI and Ili9488 only supports 3-byte color in RGB order in SPI mode. I suppose thats why the order was hardcoded initially.

Should we expose the RGB and BGR to the managed side so that it can be switched in the hardware which correspond to this in nF .

#define RFLAG_COLOR_RGB       0b00000000     /* RGB */
#define RFLAG_COLOR_BGR       0b00001000     /* BGR */

If I understand correctly, this flag alters the output signal for panels with different order, while the buffer always uses RGB. If this is the case, we should substitute the hardcoded MADCTL_BGR constant in DisplayDriver::ChangeOrientation with a variable that may be either MADCTL_BGR or 0.

Can you test it out without flipping the RGB values in code?.

I just tested it and it works exactly as I expected. It displays incorrect colors with RGB buffer and 0 value instead of MADCTL_BGR, and correct colors with MADCTL_BGR value. And vice versa with BGR buffer.
So my panel utilizes BGR pixels obviously.
I suppose the buffer should always remain RGB since there is no other option mentioned in the datasheet. See page 122.

Different manufacturer uses different panel with same controller. As far as I know there are two types RGB and BGR.

Yes and controller uses RGB for buffer and flag to alter signal for different panels. I don't see why buffer should not be RGB in any case.

May be you want to check with this change and if that is inline with this driver.

TransferBuffer[count++] = g;
TransferBuffer[count++] = b;

// can't fit another 3 bytes
if (count + 3 > TransferBufferSize - 1)
