Hello & welcome to the µGFX comunity!

The µGFX library has been designed to be completely agnostic. In the 7 years of its existence we never came across a situation (platform, operating system, compiler, architecture, ...) where µGFX didn't run on.
The library comes with built-in drivers to run on Linux. The "Linux drivers" support X, SDL or direct kernel framebuffer. You can find more information in the documentation (eg. the wiki & API docs).

There is no existing display driver for the ATSAMA5D36.
Which driver is the closest to take as a starting point depends on how the display controller works. µGFX supports all possible display driver models (see the driver docs wiki).
You can find all existing drivers in the /drivers/gdisp directory.

We're happy to help where we can - The more specific questions you ask the further we'll get.
