I know nothing about this project devs, but I made a framebuffer/driver for my old EGA monitor out of an ARM Cortex-M7 devboard, some SRAM pulled out of old 486 boards (cache memory they were) and a level converter.
It did not go as far as being worthy enough to be published, but it worked.
It is not particularly superhuman, me not having any degrees or related work, just some years playing with electronics as a hobby, then taking old IBM EGA manual and designing the thing in a couple of evenings.
It's not rocket science :) However nowadays even rocket science isn't.
Everything is pretty simple, especially if you throw sufficiently large FPGAs on the problem.
