Intel Edison + 1.5" Color OLED using SPI - SSD1351

[SAsho1]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get 1.5" color OLED working which uses SPI with controller - SSD1351

The Sparkfun .66" OLED works fine but uses their own version of SPI library implementation.

I also found this item which is exactly I am looking for. But this says the SPI data rate is very slow...

https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/upm/issues/34 UPM driver for SSD1351 OLED display · Issue # 34 · intel-iot-devkit/upm · GitHub Is there a new kernel update coming up which will fix the SPI data rate?I also found several issues reported related to SPI. Hope to get some information on how to go about it.If someone has got this OLED working, do let me know.

Hi Sukesh,

We don't have this device with us to test it, but it's true that some issues have been reported regarding SPI, including a slow data rate. These issues are known and are being worked on, hopefully a solution will become available in a future release but there's no a specific date or time frame.

Not a positive response at all when the next Yocto update timeline is unknown...

Is it going to be updated at all? SPI issues are reported quite widely from a long time... so please check when there would be an update and a fix.

My project (prototype) is blocked due to this issue...

GPS - working

IMU (9axis) - working

OLED - blocked

Is Yocto the suggested OS platform for production?

Hi Sukesh,

Unfortunately, there's no ETA for this update, that's why I can't provide a specific date.

I've been searching in the Community for SPI threads related to your issue, and found this . I'm not sure if you already read that, but you might find some tips/workarounds for your project.
