A custom front panel for the SiFive HiFive Unmatched, designed in KiCAD and featuring:
- OLED display
- Power button
- Reset button
- 2x GPIO buttons
With Python examples to drive the OLED display.
The display interfaces via I2C and operates on 3v3 logic levels, with the HiFive Unmatched using 1v8 on its GPIO header, hence the board includes level shifting.
Power and reset buttons are connected to the Front Panel header.
An additional two buttons are provided for general use — e.g. screen pagination — and these are connected to the GPIO header.
All the buttons are illuminated, however, this is not under software control and the buttons simply illuminate when the HiFive Unmatched is powered on.
