That error probably means you're not using the correct DTB, because the driver fails to load.

The command is:

sh install.sh

This driver is for LibreELEC, not for Android.

I suggest you let the dev know that they should update the fd628-aml driver to openvfd with all the related changes.

You'll need different DTBs for openvfd to work on that build.

HI I have a magicsee n5 too, is this file working fine?

Here are the files you need (see attachments).

conf file: vfd-configurations/magicsee-n5-vfd.conf at master · arthur-liberman/vfd-configurations · GitHub

Please let me know if it works or not.

You will need CoreELEC or LibreELEC 8.2.5 with updated DTBs.

Use the attached vfd conf and driver, it should work with the FD650.

You can follow the instructions in post #126, but don't use the files from that post, they won't work.

You don't need a _x92 dtb, just use the gxm_q200_3g one.

First of all, if you're on CE, I suggest you updated to the latest release. The SD card already has all the DTBs on it, so you don't have to look for them at all. There's a device_trees folder on the root of the SD.

Which box are you using?

el_Salmon

Can't help without knowing what LE build you are running.

With CoreELEC you'd need the 1gbit dtb for a T95Z. But this thread suggests that recent T95Z boxes are using an ethernet phy that the current driver in *ELEC just can't handle correctly.

I sent you a PM.

Great. Give try the attached vfd.conf

Edit: After some more digging the attached vfd may not work (at all or correctly).

Try the new one attached to this post.

miankel

Could you take a picture of the display so that I can see what icons it has?

Also, what's the full model number of the box? Is it the N5?

I suggest you follow the installation instructions and use the DTBs in this post, and test the attached VFD config. But I can't provide support for builds that may not have an up to date driver.

This isn't really on topic with the thread, so I don't want to go into much detail on this issue here. I personally never used that method of working with LE. As I see it, you'll have two partitions with the same name, and I don't know Linux well enough to know what will happen in that case. Better ask the question in the relevant thread.

It still something with your time settings.

Android is irrelevant, LibreELEC doesn't get time from Android.

Set it to auto in Kodi, pick the correct time zone, should work just fine.

kodiuser1

Android has nothing to do with the OpenVFD/FD628 driver in LE.

If you change a config file, the driver needs to be restarted, yes - you can reinstall it or just restart the box.

I don't understand what you mean by "can't change the clock". The time displayed is the system time, you shouldn't have to change anything in the driver, just make sure that the system time is set correctly on your box (in Kodi).

I think that you are in the wrong thread...
