Feature Request: Add Sub-GHz (CC1101) and NRF24 support for LILYGO T-Embed CC1101 Plus #342

Description

Description

I'd like to request dedicated hardware/pinout support for the LILYGO T-Embed CC1101 Plus model.

Currently, when flashing the existing standard T-Embed CC1101 firmware onto the Plus version, the core functionalities (display, UI, basic ESP32 operations) work perfectly. However, the Sub-GHz (CC1101) and NRF24 modules fail to initialize or function. This is likely due to the hardware revisions and different SPI pin configurations on the Plus model compared to the base version.
Expected Behavior

Full initialization and operational support for both the CC1101 and NRF24 radio modules on the T-Embed CC1101 Plus hardware.
Hardware / Device Info

  • Device: LILYGO T-Embed CC1101 Plus
    
  • Current working state: Core features remain intact using the standard T-Embed build.
    
  • Non-working state: CC1101 and NRF24 are completely unresponsive.
    

Willingness to Help

I have the T-Embed CC1101 Plus hardware on hand and would be fully available to help with firmware testing. If a dev wants to implement the new pinouts or push an experimental branch, I am more than happy to flash it, test the radio functionalities, and provide debug logs.

Thanks for the great work on this project!
