[sparks7162] Problem with vfd in some Amiko Alien2

[miciomax]

You can use HDMU_13202_E2_spark7162_215 and test HDMU_13206_E2_spark7162_215_git_3355.

HDMU13155 is to old and have no new VFD driver.

13202 have new audioniek driver

13206 have aotom from Max git.

However, to make an actualized point in this thread:

No HDMUimage can do the "new" spark's vfd to work (13206 git 3366 too);
HDMUimage 13155 (or 13206) + DboxOldie's aotom.ko let the new spark's vfd to work.

Try to replace with this and please Report > the Dot VFD is integrated, but I can´t test it.

What have you tried? 13206 only or 13206 + aotom in /lib/modules?

Where do I place this file??

[DboxOldie]

In Zip there is : aotom.ko
Put it in /lib/modules

Put it in /lib/modules

I tried the aotom.Ko file kept the image that I was already using and copied the aotom.Ko file to lib/modules and the DVFD works.

Ok > now we know > it works...
For Information > this aotom was an actually build from ddt-git.
Yesterday I testet with the HDMU build 13206 > and a few icons worked > REC, PLAY, DOULESCREEN, AC3 an the HDD-Level bar.
The rest....it is another part....if you try fp_control on telnet > you will see they works.

Hi DboxOldie I don't have any idea what fp_control on telnet means?

[DboxOldie]

Two possibilities:
Start Telnet console and type:
fp_control -i 1 1 for switch on the first icon -i 1 0 for switch off, Values from 1 to 46 are possible > 46 switches all icons.
or:
type : vfdctl and you will see in context help what is there possible, eg vfdctl +usb switches usb icon on -usb then to off > see the context help ( if the actually vfdctl is in the image )


PS: fp_control -l 2 1 / 0 activate / deactivate the vfd spinner
