How to configure VFD

http://ix.io/250X

You need to save the raw vfd file…

Will the dtb change for the X96, S905X3 devices be merged in a nightly soon (I have an X96 Air P2)?

Also I have a few boxes I’ve never bothered sorting the screen on, what do you need to assist, just the output of cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio from android or the dtb as well? I’ve got
GooBang Doo XB-III < S905W
Abox A1 < S905X
Kingbox K3 < S912

Thanks

Big thanks for the help

What do you mean will the DTB change?
The default DTB sources had some conflicts which were fixed. It will be included in nightlies later, when we make some more changes.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio is easy, so I’d start with that. It doesn’t always provide the required info, in that case the DTB is needed.

What vdf could be worth for Hk1?

I also leave the log of the Gpio:

Sorry dtb wise I meant there’s one posted in this thread that fixes the screen on the x96 s905x3 boxes. People who applied the one from this thread had it overwritten when they updated to the latest nightly and the screen stopped again. Will your altered dtb be pushed into the nighties?

I’ll give that command a go and post it and see if it gives what you need. How do you get the output on ix.io, I can’t figure it.
Thanks

@vmce You can’t from android, you need to take a screenshot or write it down.

@SamWilson Try https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arthur-liberman/vfd-configurations/master/x96-max-1gbit-vfd.conf

DTB changes will be in the next nightly, so you will not need the attached DTB in newer builds.

Hi,
I have a T95MAXplus box with S905X3 procesor and 4G/32G.
Installed CoreELEC and for my needs all works.
Only display can’t light up.Tryed several config files, but no one work.
Attaching screnshot from android and picture of VFD.

Can you also make a pic of the top\bottom of the board? I have not seen FD6513 chips yet.
Ah looks like it’s using a FD655. I’ll look to see if there are already vfd confs that would match.

Ok, try one of the vfd confs attach, and tell me which one works.
edit: removed

Thanks for looking into.
Both configs are not working, display did not light up.
Here are the pictures of the mainboard.

Can you try these?

Also, if it still doesn’t work, please post dmesg output.

It doesn’t work, do you want me to do another test?

Post dmesg

From android or corelec or both?

From CoreELEC

With first config clock shows up for 5 second and then goes off.
dmesg

With second config did not light up.
dmesg

Check the OpenVFD addon and make sure that it’s not set to turn off the display. And try to play around with the brightness. Use the first one, that lights up.

For some reason when TVH add-on start to get EPG kills VFD service.
systemctl restart openvfd - and clock shows up
