If you want a device with an OS similar to LE and dev team dedicated to it, look at the OSMC Vero 4K+ box.

Reboot the box, ssh into it, and run the following commands:
Then paste the URLs output here.

Can't help you without knowing what LE build you are running.
You probably need to read this post: LED (VFD) Displays in LibreELEC

Nice! Glad to see that it works.
S905W and S905X are pretty similar (the W is a cut down version of the X), so the dtb should work just fine in most cases.
As long as everything works fine on your box, such as LAN, wifi, and you don't experience any issues, you should be ok with this DTB.
I'm almost positive that these boxes use a common design, only different SoCs.
The positions of all the ports seems to be identical, and the A95X R2 also has a front button on the inside that is not exposed on the plastic casing.

Hi, The Coolest ,
I am just now checking back here and I am impressed by the progress you have made. So, I was interested whether a configuration for my ANTSIR box is now available and from the above answer you gave me im March, I thought I would need this configuration. So, I followed the instructions on the CoreELEC Forum, but unfortunately nothing shows up on my front panel.
Should I have used a different config?
Cheers,

I'm sorry to say, but I had to give up.
The DTB doesn't have the configuration, nor does it even say what type of controller the box has.
Without source code from that box there's no way for me to add support for it.
It's possible that it's a rebranded A95X R2 (like my box).So my suggestion would be to use the a95x r2 dtb + the a95x r2 vfd.conf file, and see if that gets you anywhere. The a95x r2 vfd.conf needs that specific dtb, otherwise it won't work.

Edit: Never mind, see post above.

I'm pretty sure that the bootloader on the International version of the Mi Box is locked, and you can't do anything with it.
That's also why you can't install LE on it.

crossrt Ok. Then you're in the wrong thread, this is for Leia builds only.
-
crossrt You're not using the correct DTB. Make sure you are using the latest DTB from that LE build.

Can't really help with these builds, as they are not mine.
wrxtasy any help?
-
With his build you should only need to copy the vfd.conf file and reboot. And make sure you use the dtb file he provides. Kzaqs dtb won't work.
-
Then I suggest you install @wrxtasy's build. It already included the driver. Just make sure you use the correct dtb.

I said that I dont have a "downloads" folder, however I created one. But theres no file that named "fd628" only "fd628Service"..
When I type the cd or sh comman it come on both the same error: sh: cant open...
I don't know what you're doing, or what OS you're using. Sorry.
This is a screenshot of CoreELEC, but the idea is the same with LE.

1. I recommend you put the files into downloads/fd628.
2. Connect to the box, type in: (note: paths in linux are case sensitive)
You can also run a search to see in which folder the files are:

the exact error: "sh: cant open 'tes_led.sh'
Have I does the update dtb right? I only put a .tar and the correctly device tree from ur attached zips into the update folder. I have no downloads folder.. Only Kodi and Storage and in these there no downloads folder. I use LE in internal.But the thing that I dont understand is why you attached 2 zips with device trees? Which zip is the correct one for 8.2.2.3?
I think you're not typing the command correctly or you're not doing it from the path that you extracted the file into.
Erm that is not entirely correct.
My v8.2.4.2 Krypton S905 builds defiantly have VFD support.
I have a VFD display working on a S905W box (A95X-R2) after following THIS guide.
Also used were the new v8.2.4.2 device trees found in the following folder:MEGA
You also have to install the service.openvfd-1.0.1.zip Addon that I compiled for LibreELEC.
Thx. for reminding me.
There's nothing preventing it from working on older builds, I'm running it on LE7 on one of my boxes, but kzsaq's build doesn't include it. I assume you added it to your builds - that's great.
Just to clarify: you don't have to 'compile' the addon, it's written in python, and available on github. Here's a direct download link from GH to the latest version.

I'm not sure why it's not working, what's the exact error message?
I always extract it into the downloads/fd628 folder. I suggest you try 'sh test_led.sh' first to make sure that it's working. 'sh -x test_led.sh' may show what line fails exactly. Sometimes there's a permissions issue, so you may need to run chmod to give the files execute permissions.
As I said, doing it this way is a pain, and I can't really support this. I use this method for testing on my dev box, but I can recommend its use for end-users.
