Connecting OLED display for framebuffer access

Hi,

I’d like to connect a smallish RGB OLED display (DENSITRON DD-160128FC-2B, datasheet here http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1483550.pdf) to a BBB. Its interface is said to be “6/8/9 Bit 68XX/80XX Parallel,6 Bit RGB,4-SPI”. I’d like it to be driven by a framebuffer device under linux.

Is that possible at all ? Would someone have some hints about how do to that ?

Thanks,

Xav

Have you tried the "fbtft" driver?

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/fbtft?id=refs/tags/v4.3-rc1

Start with either v4.2.0 or v4.3.0-rc1..

Hi,

my question was more about how to physically connect the OLED screen to the BBB.

4-spi… Connect the 4 pins via the spi bus…

Regards,

Oh I thought I had to connect all the data etc. lines.

Thanks, I’ll try.
