Could you build this?

No This requires embedded systems engineering, low-level microcontroller firmware, hardware-level e-paper display refresh controllers, and SD card bootloader recovery for specific physical hardware (Xteink X4 Pro).

What it would actually take: The stack involves embedded C/C++ or Rust on an RTOS or bare-metal microcontroller platform, targeting the specific display controller and SPI/I2C peripherals of the Xteink X4 Pro. The hard parts include e-paper waveform tuning, power management, memory-constrained UI rendering, and safe secondary bootloader architecture for fail-safe SD card firmware updates.
