Thanks.
Looks like it’s a DTB issue. Will look into it.
@DroiDMester @Bat123
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 
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.
Try this one with a DTB from the post above
tanix-tx5-pro-vfd.conf (1.2 KB)
Well, that means that it’s not working perfect, because it’s supposed to light up/blink.
it does not work V8 super
Post dmesg output, please.
Does the : (colon) light up or blink?
the display works perfectly (the colon flashes) And with this DTB, Gigabit LAN is perfect for the X96Max Plus

ok, you’re right 
but changing the chars was easy, I have no idea how to make the colon flash.
would you help me out there too? thank you!
hello this is the result of doing cat / sys / kernel / debug / gpio
in an x96 Air (4/32)
Would there be a possibility to obtain a valid vfd?
It’s the same as other x96 max devices already mentioned above.
I have tried several and none has worked for me. could you please tell me which one is right for s905x3?
