Seeed announced three XIAO IPS Display boards on 8 September. They are now in Velxio with fifteen of Seeed's own example sketches, running on a new in-browser nRF52840 engine — the panel, the buttons, the IMU, the touch glass and the microSD card, on a board drawn front and back like the one on your desk. Running the vendor's own code also turned up two bugs in the display library.
Velxio and Seeed Studio are working together.
