Make Display feature less ambiguous
There are at least two boards with a HUB75 matrix LED interface:
- matrixportal_m4.md
- pimoroni_interstate75.md
The Matrix Portal from Adafruit advertise to have a "Display" as feature. Where the Interstate 75 from Pimoroni does not say it has that feature.
So I don't know witch one to modify.
Maybe this is a new feature and that rather than to say "Display" there should be something called "HUB75" or a more friendly name. Then both board could advertise that feature.
We might say "display interface" or "RGB matrix interface". Not sure if the latter is too specific. @makermelissa do you have an opinion here?
For the terms, let's go with: Built-in Display External Display Connector
"External Display Connector "could be added to the bare metal Raspberry Pi SBCs and similar boards as well.
I made a vote in Discord Chat during the weekly meeting and the final result were "External Display" as a winner: 1 :adabot: Display interface 4 :adafruit: External Display 1 :cappy: External Display Connector 0 :gus: Intended for External Display 0 :mho: Optional Display 0 :blinka: Display Friendly 2 :toebeans: Display Ready
Sounds fair to me. :) Unfortunately I was out sick yesterday so wasn't able to vote, but since it wouldn't have made a difference, I'm ok with going with "External Display".
How about "Display Capable" ?
The name has been selected (it is still possible to change it) but more importantly the board that need it have been tagged with PR such as #1030 and #1029 .
