Screen: LCD/OLED/Any screen that will work with the Banana PI BPI-R4 Pro 4E

[mbana (Mohamed Bana)]

Hi,

I’ve got the “Banana PI BPI-R4 Pro 4E” arriving soon and I thought I’d buy a screen for it.

1. Please recommend at least one screen, of any type such as a OLED/IPS/LCD, that will work with the “Banana PI BPI-R4 Pro 4E” without patching or with patching.
2. What should I be looking for exactly in terms of finding a screen that will work with the “Banana PI BPI-R4 Pro 4E”?

Examples

Thanks,

- Bana

BPI-R2/R3 and SSD1306 oled screen

I would like to share my experiences with SSD1306 oled screen attached to BPI-R2. I ordered from ebay : [image] Since I2C_SDA0 and I2C SCL0 are used for RTC shield I decided using I2C_SDA1 and I2C_SCL1. They are on PIN 27 and 28 : [image] After hooked up VCC with 5V, GND, SCL and SDA, started BPI-R2 and added device : echo ssd1306 0x3C > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/new_device You might need kernel i2c-dev module(modprobe i2c-dev)! With pip3 installed following python libraries : Adafruit…

[BPI-R3] [OpenWRT] Support for SPI communication in OpenWRT

Given that the BPI-R3 (or R4) seem to have a GPIO header that looks to have SPI pins - Is there any support for SPI communications in OpenWRT. If there is some latent support for SPI in OpenWRT, but not supported on the BPI-R3 - I might start looking into the OpenWRT kernel to see what’s involved in adding support. Any pointers would be appreciated.
