I have the MXV + S905. Installed Libreelec 8.90.5 clock on the console did not work.

I'm working on adding support for I2C controllers, and need the original DTB from Android to determine which pins the FD650 controller is

connected to. That way I'll be able to send you test versions when I have something ready.

I grabbed the firmware for this box, pulled the DTB from it and got the data I needed from there.

I'll ping you when I have a version to test, though.

Yep, I believe that with this version by adamg, you can run sh uninstall.sh followed by systemctl restart fd628 and stick to the built in driver, as it is identical.

Not all devs are in sync on the version of the baked in driver, adamg made sure that his build has the latest one.

8.2.4, if you mean the one by adamg, it should already have the driver built in, but anyway, good to see progress.

The icons depend on the kodi add-on. Make sure you disable the advanced settings in the add-on configuration and the display should go back to normal. (if it doesn't, then reboot).

Edit:

You can give up, I can't really help with that. There's nothing complicated about getting the new driver to work on LE 8.x.

You need 3 things:

1) The gxm_q200_3g.dtb from the zip I attached, as all the DTBs in that zip contain an entry the driver requires to load and work.

2) The up to date driver\service from the same post I linked (on page #8).

3) The vfd.conf file for the x92 placed in /storage/.config/ folder (It's 'Configfiles' from the SMB share).

After a clean boot, with the most up to date driver\service from the post I linked, do:

sh test_led.sh
dmesg | grep FD628

And paste the output.

I also want to add that this driver I posted is not an 'official' or 'supported' feature. I decided to post it just to help those who are using old builds get their display working.

Whoever creating these new builds based on 8.x should update their sources with the latest PRs to bake the latest driver into the images they post.

Everything is explained in the post I linked, it works with the older kernel. (pre-8.90.4)

Sholander

Have you placed the x92-vfd.conf (renamed to vfd.conf) in /storage/.config/ ?

Sholander

I don't know what version you downloaded or trying to install, but it's not the right one. I can tell by the error message.

Download it from this post, then it should work. (just tested it to confirm) Make sure that you extract\overwrite all files from this archive.

May require to do chmod 0755 FD628Service again.

Sholander

where you extracted the zip do

chmod 0755 FD628Service

Then try again.

Pretty much any S905X box will do the job.

Sholander

See attached.

Just to clear things up, all DTBs have been updated to work with the new, vfd.config based driver.

ok, I'll edit them a little later tonight.

Sholander

Is there a place to get all of these new DTBs? I rather do this once for all of them rather than one at a time.

I'll add the required data into them and post them. I'll also let wrxtasy know about this addition, maybe he'd be able to add that to all his future DTBs.

Could you please add this PR/patch to your DTB sources?

Add "le-vfd" section for the vfd driver. by arthur-liberman · Pull Request #103 · LibreELEC/linux-amlogic · GitHub

Regarding the Vorke Z5. Anyone who has this model, can you confirm that the vfd.conf posted above works or not? I'd like to add it to the vfd repository.

Read this post, and install the latest driver that takes a vfd.config file.

I wouldn't pick a S905 box these days. Make sure it's a S905X.

I have a Sunvell T95N (same as Mini M8S II) and a T95m, both of which are running great on LE.

Why is the development stopped?

[8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X

djnice

I just confirmed what 2re said with your video on my S905W box.

The changes can be observed on the fly.

Quote from nooan

I have a Vorke Z5 (S905W, 2GB DDR3, 16GB eMMC, VFD) running AdamG's alpha builds. Great stuff except three issues:

3. The VFD works with the DTB from MinixTX3 - but the display is upside-down and the icons are not used.

Any chance to correct this with VFD parameters in the new builds?

Try this VFD. To enable the icons install the FD628 Service addon.

Edit: You have to be running 8.90.6.
