Step 1: I2C Function not open by default on this system ,so you need to open this function

sudo bananapi-config

select “System”>“Hardware”, select “pg-i2c3” or “pg-i2c4”

image

then save and reboot

After restarting, check if there are i2c nodes.

pi@bpi-m4berry:~/wiringPi$ ls /dev/i2c-3
/dev/i2c-3
pi@bpi-m4berry:~/wiringPi$ ls /dev/i2c-4
/dev/i2c-4

Step 2: Download and install WiringPI

git clone https://github.com/BigQubot/WiringPI
cd WiringPI
sudo ./build clean
sudo ./build

Step 3: Copy smaple code to oled_demo.c file

sudo nano oled_demo.c

Step 4 : Compile oled_demo.c

gcc ./oled_demo.c -o oled -lwiringPi

Step 5: Run oled_demo with i2c-3 or i2c-4

sudo ./oled /dev/i2c-3
