Make sure to install fd628 service for extra icons

I did

Hello, I have the same troubles as here described (KIII Pro - some LiveTV channels) - its S912:

[8.90.3] LibreELEC 9.0 Alpha for S905/S912 devices

I found the same problem on S905:

Tanix TX3 MINI - Amlogic S905W (New SoC) - Android 7.1.1 - FreakTab.com

- Appears during video playback in some players

And here is temporary solution on Android on S905:

Tanix TX3 MINI - Amlogic S905W (New SoC) - Android 7.1.1 - FreakTab.com

- Yes I've noticed the same problem. I solved it by turning off "resolution deep color" in settings but every time you reboot box it's activated again so you need to turn it off again. Also "color space and deep color settings" best works with 444, 8bit

Is it hellpfull for fix in LE with S912?

Thanks. Marduk

GDPR-2, just for info, while my display is partially works. On my X92 S912 device this add-on cause skip frames every 1 second. If it disabled, all looks ok. Looks like actions from service cause something wrong. May be because I have different icons, but is strange action of this service

Hi,

many thanks for fast response about .img file.

No ssh.

It´s an addon from repository -> libreelec add-ons

GDPR-2  kszaq are these good news for us? Mainline Linux on Amlogic S905/S905X/S912 SoCs – 2018 Status Update

Nothing changed yet.

"He also talked about Arm Mali-450MP integration, and they currently have out of tree support for GXBB (S905) and GXL (S905X), but more work is needed for GXM (S912) using an Arm Mali-820MP GPU. The user-space library is closed source, must be updated by Amlogic, and they have support for the three versions: fb (framebuffer), X11, and Wayland. LIMA has also be resurrected by another developer (mesa-lima), there’s basic support for Arm Mali-450 GPU, and it has successfully been tested by Baylibre."

"Going forward, there’s still lots of work on the video display driver including cursor plane, overlay planes, OSD scaling, overlay scaling, and MIPI DSI output.Vide hardware acceleration will also be challenging as Amlogic is currently using a custom software implementation, and it will have to be supported through V4L2 in mainline, so it will take some time. "

There is still no mali driver for S192. Nothing changed yet.

Don't care about S912, the question is about if they are making remarkable progress in ml kernel development and if it's valuable for us, as aml device users for multimedia.

Does the LCD work correctly for you? Does it display time and icons? Is the time right side up?

GDPR-2

I'm making a list of device trees, but before I submit them I want to make sure that they work correctly. The only ones I'm positive about working correctly are for T95M, which I attached now, and you have the TX3 one. I'm not sure about this DTS being the final version either, the new 'display-type' property may require some more work.

I'm still working with someone to get the LCD to work correctly on his S912 X92 box, I think I got it, but waiting for his confirmation.

Hi!

In Vorke Z6, the LCD works perfectly with the DTB you gave us here.

I ran the tests given in you test_lcd post and all the icons showed up perfectly.

Moreover, I ran the following steps given in led_control.txt and all the icons showed up when they were commanded:

alarm led 

echo alarm > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_on
echo alarm > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_off

wifi led

echo wifi > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_on
echo wifi > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_off

ethnet led

echo eth > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_on
echo eth > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_off

usb led

echo usb > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_on
echo usb > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_off

pause led

echo pause > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_on
echo pause > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_off

play led

echo play > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_on
echo play > /sys/class/leds/fd628_dev/led_off

Well, in order to test the ethnet led I had to unplug the ethernet cable, since when it was plugged, the ethernet icon was always on, regardless the command given with the echo.

Good job

I only disabled wired network in KODI settings - ethernet icon changed to wifi icon

I didn´t unplug the network cable

Thanks for confirming that the DTB configuration is correct. I'll upload the source today after work.

THX for great support

I'll work on it today evening, so I wanted to be ready for all possibilities.

Tested new build on all S905/X/W boxes, I have issue with Tanix TX3 Mini, regular S905X dtb with 2GB RAM works on Tanix, display shows only "boot" but no issue with LPCM 7.1, changed dtb to this: gxl_p212_2g_tx3mini.dtb, display shows the clock, after installing icon package from repository and rebooting, the display icons appeared strangely, all icons visible, last number was blinking and the LPCM 7.1 was wrong. I prefer Audio output set to 7.1 and passtrough for all audio formats. I"ve tried the other dtb from here: releases/dtb/9.0/ without luck, boot screen stays on TX3 mini. Which is the best dtb for TX3 mini?

On Neo U1 and M8S Pro+ everything was fine what I tested.

Thanks
