I omitted this on purpose. For my use case, I am using the SPI as
write-only,

So your SPI accesses are fire-and-forget, and nothing ever comes back?

Yes.

Seems a very dangerous way to design the use case, with no feedback if
something suddenly goes pear-shaped...

You should tell Sitronix. This is how their display controllers work.


Or do you have ways to verify the status via some method other than SPI?


Nope.



I'm working with LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, a mass-produced robotics system. It is what it is. And I have a logic analyzer for when things go pear-shaped. ;-)
