MaixPy:


spi1 = SPI(SPI.SPI1, mode=SPI.MODE_MASTER, baudrate=600 * 1000,
            polarity=0, phase=0, bits=8, firstbit=SPI.MSB, sck=21, mosi=8)

fm.register(20, fm.fpioa.GPIOHS20, force=True) # SPI_Eink_SS_PIN_NUM: 20;
fm.register(15, fm.fpioa.GPIOHS15, force=True) # SPI_Eink_DC_PIN_NUM: 15;
fm.register(6, fm.fpioa.GPIOHS6, force=True) # SPI_Eink_BUSY_PIN_NUM: 6;

cs = GPIO(GPIO.GPIOHS20, GPIO.OUT)
dc = GPIO(GPIO.GPIOHS15, GPIO.OUT)
busy = GPIO(GPIO.GPIOHS6, GPIO.IN, GPIO.PULL_DOWN)
rst = GPIO(GPIO.GPIOHS7, GPIO.OUT)

epd = SPEink(spi1, cs, dc, rst, busy, SPEink_WIDTH, SPEink_HEIGHT, SPEink_ROTATION)
epd.init()

img = image.Image()
img = img.resize(200, 200)
img.draw_line(0, 0, 100, 100)

epd.display(img)
