Really impressive work! A lot of thought has clearly gone into working around constraints in an aesthetically pleasing and functional way. That kind of end to end polish is pretty rare in my experience, but makes a huge difference on the finished product.
EPDC stands for E-paper display controller, correct?
I found the Caster Verilog on your github repo. Are you planning on shipping with all the controller logic on an FPGA?
Interesting and cool approach. Is this something that is already commonplace in the display industry? I have seen VGA controllers on (bigger) Xilinxes years ago as demos but I haven't read about it on shipped display-related products.
Thanks for sharing. I went through Wenting's blog and projects earlier and was in awe; I hope I can find a way to follow their updates somehow now that Twitter's gone and there's no RSS feed.

Thank you for your kind words. Wenting has led the development of the EPDC. https://twitter.com/zephray_wenting

Electrophoretic Display Controller. Yes, that is correct. It's one of the methods used.
Wenting goes into more detail in 'Basics of driving E-paper displays': https://hackaday.io/project/11537-nekocal-an-e-ink-calendar/...

Unfortunately I can't read that link, it seems to require a log in.
