Hi Francesco
I have updated the BCM 2835 library to the latest version 1.75, tested on a fresh install of Moode 9 on a Pi4 with an I2C and an SPI display, and pushed the changes to the mpd_oled reposiitory.
If you (or anyone else) builds the latest mpd_oled from source on a Pi5 then please let me know if it is working with an SPI display. Once I have confirmation then I will build a new mpd_oled binary package.
Regarding the mpd_oled binary package failure on Moode 9, it looks like the missing package libfftw3-3 is just a dummy package that causes other packages to be installed, and I can just list these individual packages instead, so should be a very minor change.
Adrian.

Hi Adrian,
Thanks for your time; unfortunatly with the new modification, it does not run: I am not sure if the following feelings can help:
1. the system stucks at 100% of load (of 1 cpu of course) - (please note that on I2C it doesn't happen and runs correctly).
Code: top - 08:54:27 up 18 min, 1 user, load average: 1.10, 1.08, 0.73

2. it seems that "/dev/gpiomem" does not longer exists:
Code: pi@MoOde-FdA-Test5:~/mpd_oled $ ls -lia /dev/g*

332 crw-rw---- 1 root gpio 236, 0 Jun 23 16:06 /dev/gpiomem4
pi@MoOde-FdA-Test5:~/mpd_oled $
Please do not hesitate to ask to test more modifications: I just received the pi5 and I tested immediatelly the mpd_oled because somebody else had this problem and I would help him ( "lepetitdiable" at this thread ).
Best regards and thank you very much,
Francesco

Hi Francesco
Thanks for testing, and for the extra details.
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no easy fix for this, as the BCM 2835 library hasn't been (and may not ever be) updated to support the Pi 5
https://groups.google.com/g/bcm2835/c/e44ttskxDv8?pli=1
In which case, some options are
a) The current version of mpd_oled won't be updated to support the Pi 5 (I don't like this option)
b) I could add some custom SPI functions that use the linux SPI devices.
c) I could tidy up the development "proof of concept" version ( https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled_dev ), which only uses linux devices for communication.
If I can find some suitable code then I will go for option b, as option c could turn into a support nightmare!
Adrian.

There is no easy fix.
For option b: I found some replacement code for SPI using the linux device driver (/dev/spidevX.X), but it needs to write DC using GPIO, and it looks like it uses the BCM 2835 library code for this, meaning that it won't work on the Pi 5.
For option c: mpd_oled_dev uses libu8g2arm which uses the sysfs GPIO interface, and this has been removed in bookworm, and so mpd_oled_dev won't work with SPI on Moode 9.
I'll review the situation a bit more, but the only reasonable option I see is to update libu8g2arm and then review mpd_oled_dev, but this is a lot of work.
Adrian.

Hello Adrian,
Hello Francesco,
thanks for following up on the Moode / RPi5 / SPI / OLED problem - I had already given up. If I can help you (with my modest knowledge), please let me know.
Regards,
Manuel

Greetings.
I have Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, pcm5102, Moode 8.3.9 Installed MPD oled, everything works. But there is one problem. I want to use the commands sudo systemctl stop mpd_oled / sudo systemctl start mpd_oled and bind them to buttons to turn off the display when listening to music for a long time, so that the display doesn't burn out. When a radio station is playing and I stop mpd oled in terminal - everything is fine, the display goes out. But when I start mpd oled - the indicator turns on, but the music is paused. Is this a bug or a feature, or have I configured something wrong?
Thanks

Hello,
I followed all the instructions to install from source but when I test, I have no bargraphs and nothing is moving on my I2C (date is not changing too) I have an error :
~ $ sudo mpd_oled -o 3 -a 3c -b 10 -g 1 -f 20 -c alsa,plughw:Loopback,1
sh: 1: mpd_oled_cava: not found
Could you help me to search the error ?
Many thanks for help.
Best Regards
