SSD1306 OLED Controller Low-level driver

This is a low level driver for the SSD1306 OLED controller through 4-wire SPI.

It provides basic functions for initializing and writing to the OLED controller. In addition to hardware control and use of the OLED controller internal functions.

Before writing data to the display call ssd1306_init() which will set up the physical interface and the OLED. A file named conf_ssd1306.h is needed to define which interface to use. For more information see the Interface selection section. In addition one also need to define the pins SSD1306_DC_PIN, SSD1306_CS_PIN and SSD1306_RES_PIN and the display SSD1306_CLOCK_SPEED.

Warning

This driver is not reentrant and can not be used in interrupt\ service routines without extra care.

An example conf_ssd1306.h file could look like

// interface selection
#define SSD1306_USART_SPI_INTERFACE
#define SSD1306_USART_SPI            &USARTD0

#define SSD1306_CLOCK_SPEED          1000000

#define SSD1306_DC_PIN               UG_2832HSWEG04_DATA_CMD
#define SSD1306_CS_PIN               UG_2832HSWEG04_RESET
#define SSD1306_RES_PIN              UG_2832HSWEG04_SS

Dependencies

This driver depends on the following modules:

• Common IOPORT API for IO port control.
• System Clock Management for getting system clock speeds for init functions.
• USART in SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) mode or Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for communication with the OLED controller

Interface selection
The OLED controller support both serial and parallel mode, that means there is a number of possible ways of interfacing the controller using different peripherals. The different interfaces can be selected using different defines. This driver supports the serial communication mode using an USART in Master SPI mode by defining SSD1306_USART_SPI_INTERFACE, and a normal SPI in Master Mode by defining SSD1306_SPI_INTERFACE. Note The current driver only support serial mode.
