How to use this driver on H96 MAX X3 or Vontar X3?

• You need to have adb or Root Explorer

• You should copy prebuilts.sh to /system/bin

• You should copy custom folder to /sdcard

• If you want to have "boot" label during booting:

  • You should copy openvfd.ko to /vendor/lib/modules and init.amlogic.rc to /vendor/etc/init/hw

• otherwise:

  • Edit custom.sh file with uncommenting #insmod /sdcard/custom/openvfd.ko

• Also you MUST flash new dtb.img

  • open adb shell or terminal on device and execute dd if=/sdcard/custom/dtb.img of=/dev/dtb

• And copy /sdcard/custom/OpenVFD.apk to /system/app/OpenVFD with permissions (755)

• OpenVFD doesn't have options but it has sources. By default it shows CPU temp for 15 sec every 5 minutes and it has night mode. Night mode turns alarm icon and changes brightness to 1 from 22.00 to 10.00. Default brightness is 5.

• If you use KODI, you can use kodi plugin instead of OpenVFD.apk - https://github.com/xyyx/service.openvfd

  • Download it as zip and install

• If you have troubles, you can load box from microsd or usb flash. Format to FAT32 and copy files from boot_files folder to root of flash. Unplug power from box and press button in AV. Insert storage, plug power cable and release button in AV after some seconds.
