ssd1306 OLED screen on orange pi pc

AndryBlack · March 9, 2017

Latest kernels include experimental fbttf modules. I connect cheapest oled screen(128x64px) via SPI to orange pi pc.

Connections:

data - spi0 mosi (PC0 pin 19)
clk - spi0 clk (PC2 pin 23)
cs - spi0 cs (PC3 pin 24)
d/c - PC7 (pin 18)
vcc - 3.3v (pin 1)
gnd - gnd (pin 6)

dts overlay:

 * based on overlay for RPi https://github.com/kenrestivo/linux/blob/3d61a22b05cbf7ac2f6b620dcd45c2fb49fb9442/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/adafruit13m-overlay.dts
