WUHU! its is working.
your file wasn’t perfect, but the char order wasn’t that hard :wink:
since I still cant upload files, that did the trick:
vfd_chars='0,4,3,2,1'

Thank you so much!

Great, I’ll add it to the repository.
So just to confirm, the above file with the change you posted works correctly?
Does the : (colon) blink?

it would be nice to have a vfd config for S905X3 X96Max plus 4/32.Gb

I’m sure that there is a working vfd.conf for that box already, need to search in the x96max thread.

this is a new “x96max plus” .s905x3.

the vdf of “x96max” s905x2 I have not got it to work on “x96max plus s905x3” for my.

s905x2 X96Max x96-max-1gbit-vfd.conf not working on new X96Max + S905X3 box

That conf file should work, at least according to the screenshot above.
Please post a dmesg, maybe that will tell us why it’s not working.

Thanks.
Looks like it’s a DTB issue. Will look into it.

Please try the DTBs from this zip.

Edit: These DTBs don’t work, scroll down for updated ones.

use the sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb in attachment zip.
and CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2-nightly_20191219-Generic.img.gz
installed the openvfd addon and upload the X96MAX s905x2 vfd conf to /storage/.config dictionary.
X96MAX PLUS 4G/32G/1000M vfd can’t work yet. thank you again.

yes, now it works perfect!
no, the colon doesn’t blink, but I like it that way.
if you like and tell me what to change, I can try the right config for the working colon too.

sm1_dtbs.zip tested but still not working :frowning:

dmesg http://ix.io/24UN

CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2-nightly_20191219-Generic.img.gz, DTB doesn’t work with x96max + gigabit lan port and wifi

this modified DTB works on gigabit LAN gets X96MAX + normal IP address, WIFI also worked after reboot

Ok, can you guys please try again with the DTBs from this zip?

Edit: Required DTB changes are in the nightly builds now.
