You should be able to use the device tree from 8.90.3 for S905W.

That's a neat box, also very cheap.

I sent you a PM, could you please take a look and respond?

What do you mean? Which build?

Maybe you meant to ask Pelican.

Pelican

Ok, thank you.

Pelican

Is there a repository for this build? I'm curious to see what was added\changed.

BTW, this service will work on any LE, all you need is the correct device tree. But I think the M8S II is like the T95N, doesn't have a front display.

Quote from Pelican

There is no LE 7 for S912....

Right. Well, I was just looking at the projects in the build env, it had S912 in it.

So T95M boxes are supported, and I can add support for any other that has LE 7.0 on it.

I know that most people have probably moved off from LE7.0, but in case some are still lingering, and have one of the following boxes, you can now get the front display to work in LE 7.0.

The list of supported boxes are:

Sunvell T95M (S905X and S905 2GB variety)

VORKE Z6

X92 S912

Support for the front display was added to the latest builds, and is part of the release, not so with LE7.0.

I could only test it on my 2G S905X T95M, and it works great on it.

In any case, use at your own risk.

Instructions:

Install:

1. Update the dtb file on your device with the appropriate one from the device-trees folder.
2. Extract the contents of this zip file to a folder on your device. (i.e. downloads)
3. SSH into the device, navigate to the folder containing the extracted files.
4. Type in 'bash install.sh' (without quotes).
*. Now the clock should display the current time.
5. In Kodi, navigate to System -> Addons -> Install from zip file -> select 'service.fd628.zip' and install it, enable it.
*. Now the indicators such as Ethernet, USB, etc. will work.

Uninstall:

1. Disable/Uninstall the FD628 Display addon in Kodi.
2. SSH into your device, navigate to where the contents of this zip file was extracted.
3. Type in 'bash uninstall.sh' (without quotes)
*. Now the display should go blank.

SSC_Jarod There's a backup in LibreELEC settings, have you tried that?

I committed the changes to the driver, so it will now work with both types of displays.

I also PMed you the list of DTS files I have edited so far. I guess that I will fork the device tree repo and will simply commit future additions/changes.

Thanks

yener90

Great! Could you please post the DTS source?

GDPR-2

Not yet, it's still a work in progress.

I'm doing some refactoring and adding proper support for the other type of display.

It's still not 100% functional, but getting there.

hashmaker

Perfect, thanks.

i dont know what im doing but yes ... now it working :o omg youre the king!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. Could you post the DTB that works for you? We'll later upload it to the repository.

I have T95M S905 with 2GB/8GB and for me also doesnt work.

The values are the same like hashmakers.

I get this kernel error:

EFj

used those values:

Code

fd628_dev {
        compatible = "amlogic,fd628_dev";
        status = "okay";
        fd628_gpio_clk = <0x6d 0x05 0x00>;
        fd628_gpio_dat = <0x6d 0x04 0x00>;
        fd628_gpio_stb = <0x6d 0x03 0x00>;
        fd628_chars = /bits/ 8 <0 1 2 3 4>;
        fd628_dot_bits = /bits/ 8 <0 1 2 3 4 5 6>;
        fd628_display_type = /bits/ 32 <1>;
    };

With a S905 and not S905X you may need a different device tree (I don't know), but we need to look at the fd628_dev folder from your Android and the device tree that you are using with LE.

hashmaker

Sorry to say, but the DTB I sent earlier today should work. The values look identical to my box.

There are no kernel errors. Both the extracted DTB and the fd628_dev confirm this.

Pins are clk = 5, dat = 4, stb = 3 on the gpio-ao port.

Quote from hashmaker

The files are empty. Make sure you copy the folder properly out of android before you zip it.

1. Boot into Android.

2. Use 'Root Explorer' to go to /proc/device-tree/fd628_dev.

3. Copy this folder, make sure that the files are not empty, zip it and post it.

The DTS I sent is almost correct (no dmesg errors), now we just need to know which pins the LCD is connected to on the SoC. The device tree in Android will tell us that.

Ok, can you post the device tree folder from Android?
