Possible to use this library on i.mx8m mini board?

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to use the qwiic version of the adafruit ssd1306 oled with a i.mx8m mini board

https://boundarydevices.com/product/nitrogen8m-mini/

I’m using yocto/dunfell. This part seems to show up fine

root@nitrogen8mm:~# i2cdetect 2

But, when I try to run the examples I can’t get past the import board line

Python 3.8.2 (default, Feb 25 2020, 10:39:28) 
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import board
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/board.py", line 169, in <module>
    raise NotImplementedError("Board not supported {}".format(board_id))
NotImplementedError: Board not supported None
>>> 

Should I continue to pursue this or is this just going to be a difficult path? Where should I start?

If you want to add the board to Blinka and just access the I2C port directly, you can use this library in conjunction with Blinka: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_Extended_Bus
