Idea?

Use stable version 8.2

All 8.9 versions are only for early bird testings

just wondering if you plan to release any Leia builds?

Nope.

No more community builds

I don't think there's a better option than a S905X right now if you're looking for something cheap that can also do 4K, 10bit and HDR. A $6 usb 3.0 gigabit ethernet and that's all I could really ask for.

Many users are looking about cheap boxes, but they expect to much.

S905X/S912 are at the end of lifecycle - allwinner & rockchip need a lot of development

There is not enough developement power to get an actual kernel etc.

I´m lucky about stable LE8.2 kszaq - this versions will run a couple of years

Only my S912 box has VDF display.

I own three amlogic boxes, but I will never buy one again.

Like chewitt said - just a piece of crap

LE for amlogic seems to be a dead end

Good job man

Activating my S912 display is nice to have

I will stay on LE 8.2 for a long time .... LE 8.9 is unusable for me

I have ordered one which is hopefully an ASIX AX88178 - luckily these things are dirt cheap... "biggest" problem is the time it takes to ship here

I ordered some adapters from the biggest seller worldwide - owner Jeff Bezos - using prime option

24h later I got it.

Can anyone write step by step guide?

It´s always written - You only have to read

BTW:

You don´t understand correct

Image file to burn must *.img.gz -> img = image

No need to go to recovery

As I said - pls read and understand

Quote from JohnBoyz

I copied the vfd.conf directly from your link and renamed it.

I do not know what you mean by 'raw text' ..... all I can say is I did not introduce any formatting into the file that I am aware of.

Like I told You before - directly copy was Your fault

Have a look at Your vfd.conf typing cat /storage/.config/vfd.conf

Should be something like that

# This file must be renamed to vfd.conf and placed in the /storage/.config/ folder.

#

# Vorke Z6 configuration

#--------------------

#gpio_xxx:

# [0] 0 = &gpio, 1 = &gpio_ao.

# [1] pin number - kernel/meson-gxl-gpio.h at master · openSUSE/kernel · GitHub

# [0] Reserved - must be 0.

vfd_gpio_clk='0,76,0'

vfd_gpio_dat='0,75,0'

vfd_gpio_stb='0,53,0'

If it shows something like - You made it wrong

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

Quote from JohnBoyz

This seems to indicate a misconfig in the vfd.conf file?

EDIT:

The vfd.conf file shows

Code

      <tr>
        <td id="L10" class="blob-num js-line-number" data-line-number="10"></td>
        <td id="LC10" class="blob-code blob-code-inner js-file-line">vfd_gpio_clk=&#39;0,76,0&#39;</td>
      </tr>

You have to copy & paste and insert in editor like this

ssh <box ip>

cd /storage/.config

vi vfd.conf

press i key for insert mode

paste

press ESC : wq

Don´t use "save as" on website

Tim_Taylor · LED (VFD) Displays in LibreELEC Tim_Taylor March 24, 2018 at 11:38 AM

Solved

Deleted all an did it again

In my local folder(/storage/lcd) I did chmod FD628Service too, after this sh test_led.sh working fine.

Now i removed the black tape from display
