Hello, thanks for your precious informations. I got my A95X F2 display to work perfectly. It just misses 1 thing: when I turn the box off, the display is completely dark, it doesn’t show the little standby dot , is it possible to add it in some way? thank you
The driver turns off the display when CoreELEC is turned off. I don’t think it’s a good idea to change this behavior, which can cause problems with other devices using this driver.
hi,
I tried VFD for my Tanix TX5 Pro (S905X2 with 4GB/100Mbit) with g12a_s905x2_4g.dtb and tanix-tx5-max-vfd.conf, but the display only shows “boot”.
It seems to be a simple four character display, nothing fancy.
original dtb (via dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/downloads/dtb.img.gz while in CE): https://gofile.io/?c=XixRLS
maybe you could give me a hint how to get the display showing the 24h time?
Thank you!
edit:
is seems due to systemctl openvfd status
that openvfd is not there? but the addon in installed and dmsg shows something:

I’ll take a look when I get back from work.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
in Android might be helpful, in CE it serves no purpose as it uses the config in the vfd.conf file you used.
WUHU! its is working.
your file wasn’t perfect, but the char order wasn’t that hard
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?
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.
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.
