Great, thanks.
Looks like a "bog standard" configuration, but without knowing the exact pins the display is connected to the SoC, it'll be difficult to guess.
Could you try to extract aml_vfd file from Android? I wonder if it could be decompiled to find out the pin configuration.
That is just a pic of the display. I need a view of the chip on the board next to the display. See post #2 in this thread.
Awesome, that would be great. Close up pics of the controller (with visible text) and 2 pics of the PCB from both sides so I could see the tracks between controller and display would be very useful.
It seems that this box uses a new driver in Android, which does not require the info I'm looking for in the DTB.
Without it, it'll be almost impossible to know how the display is connected internally or what controller it is using.
So I'm still looking, but can't say whether I'll be able to help with this particular box.
It would be interesting and useful to know what controller your box is using for the display. (This means you'll need to open it)
Yes, SSH into the box in LE and run the command:
dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/downloads/dtb.img.gz
It should copy the DTB into the downloads folder. Another thing you could do is boot android and copy over FD628 or something with "VFD" in its name from the /proc/device-trees/ folder.
Alright, good to hear that it is working! And yes, you need the add-on for the icons.
Ok, I looked at those files and the T95m DTB for the S905 should work.
If you're using a USB adapter, you can try the 100Mbit T95m DTB, it only affects the built in LAN.
Either way, that DTB didn't work, not sure why. Another way to extract what I need is to boot into Android and then copy over the fd628_dev folder in /proc/device tree/ folder. (just make sure that the files copied are not empty before you send them)
I'm sorry, I thought the T95-Max was based on S912, but it looks like it's a S905 or S905X box.
Please follow the instructions in the first post. You may want to try the fitting (depending whether it's a S905 or S905X) T95m DTB.
Or just post your Android DTB (instructions are in post #1).
From the look of it, it has the same display as the X92 boxes.
So you may try the X92 DTB, and if that doesn't work for you, follow the instructions in post #1.
Read the first post. You need the correct DTB for the display to work. Try the T95Z one. If it doesn't work, post the DTB from Android, how to is in the first post.
Does the ':' icon blink or is it stopped too?
08:14 pm should be displayed as 20:14.
Which build are you using?
Which DTB are you using?
That's 480MBit in total.
My adapter gets upto 320MBit down and 180MBit up.
But it's more than enough.
It hits 90Mbps at places, and didn't play that smooth for me, also from an NFS share.
I guess you could mitigate the issue somewhat by creating a large buffer, but it doesn't always help, at least in my personal experience.
My conclusion is identical to Tim's. My S905X box also has a USB 1Gbit Ethernet.
There are plenty of cases where 100Mbits is just not going to cut it, for example Ghost In The Shell and a some others I have seen.
Bumping this up. No one else has a box with a display that doesn't work?
