13Requirements
14************
15
16To use this sample, the following hardware is required:
17
18* A board with SPI support
19* Display with `FT800 EVE`_ like `VM800C board`_
20
21Wiring
22******
23
24You will need to connect the `FT800 EVE`_ SPI interface onto a board that
25supports Arduino shields.

27Building and Running
28********************
29
30This sample should work on any board that has SPI enabled and has an Arduino
31shield interface. For example, it can be run on the nRF52840-DK board as
32described below:
33
34.. zephyr-app-commands::
35   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/misc/ft800
36   :board: nrf52840dk/nrf52840
37   :goals: flash
38   :compact:
39
40To build the sample for `VM800C board`_ the shield must be defined as described
41below:
