mipidsi's ST7796 model uses the ST7789 init, which skips the ST7796-specific
extension-command unlock (0xF0) and Display Function Control (0xB6 = 480 driving
lines) — so the panel only scanned part of the screen (image confined to a corner
region + snow). After mipidsi's init, send the missing commands via Display::dcs()
using the known-good values from the CircuitPython st7796_init.

Replace clear() with same-path full-screen fill, add a 4-edge red border, four
distinct corner markers (TL green / TR yellow / BL cyan / BR magenta) and a TL
label, to pin down rotation/mirror/size from one flash. Apply flip_horizontal to
match the panel's MADCTL MX bit (CircuitPython uses 0x48).

Init the Kit's ST7796 320x480 over SPI0 (SCK=GP2, MOSI=GP3, CS=GP5, DC=GP6,
RST=GP7; BGR, colours inverted, 16 MHz) via mipidsi 0.9 + embedded-graphics, and
draw a panel + "PM-KIT / RUST OK" so SPI + the graphics stack are verifiable on
screen. GP25 LED keeps blinking as a heartbeat.
Compiles for thumbv8m; runtime (does it draw? colours/orientation right?) is the
on-device check. Next: tune orientation/colour if needed, then inputs + audio + pm-core.

First per-board binary. rust/pm-kit/ is a minimal rp235x-hal firmware that blinks
GP25 on the Pico 2 — proves the toolchain, RP2350 boot block (ImageDef), memory
layout, and flash before we add any drivers.
- src/main.rs + memory.x + build.rs + .cargo/config.toml: rp235x-hal blink, builds
for thumbv8m.main-none-eabihf.
- build.sh + uf2.py: one command builds the ELF in the container, objcopies to a raw
image, and packs pm-kit.uf2 (rp2350-arm-s family). Drag onto the Pico 2 in BOOTSEL.
Verified: builds clean; produces a valid 6-block UF2. Runtime (does it blink?) is the
on-device check. Next: drivers (display first) + link pm-core.
