Javier Martinez Canillas ☛ Javier Martinez Canillas: Using an SPI SSD1306 OLED on Fedora with a Raspberry Pi
In a previous post I explained how to use a Solomon SSD1306 OLED display on Fedora with a Raspberry Pi, but that only covered displays that come with a I2C driving interface.
The SSD1306 display controller also supports a (both 3-wire and 4-wire) SPI interface, and the ssd130x DRM driver has support for it since GNU/Linux 5.19.
This blog post explains how to setup Fedora to use a SSD1306 OLED when connected through 4-wire SPI interface.
First you need connect the SSD1306 display to the RPi, there are different ways to do this since one can choose the GPIO to use for some the reset and data/command pins.
