Hi everyone! I'm an undergrad CS student and electronics hobbyist looking to level up. So far, my display experience is limited to SPI/Parallel interfaces (ILI9488, ST7796, etc.) using ESP32s and Pis.

For my next project, I’m building a handheld device around this [4.39" MIPI AMOLED Display](https://www.displaymodule.com/products/4-39inch-amoled-display-568x1210-dmkdo04301aca). I'm aware that MIPI DSI is a significant step up in complexity regarding both PCB routing (impedance matching) and firmware (DSI host config).

I’m looking for two things:
- MCU recommendations: Which microcontrollers actually have a native DSI host that isn't a nightmare to initialize?
- Learning resources: Where can I find "bridging" documentation? Most MIPI info seems locked behind paywalls or assumes you're an industrial engineer.

Thanks for any suggestions.
