Fiery Posted yesterday at 11:20 AM Posted yesterday at 11:20 AM We've implemented support for Waveshare AIO LCD displays in the latest AIDA64 beta update available at: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta Supported displays include: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch-USB-Monitor https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7inch-USB-Monitor https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/8inch-USB-Monitor https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/8.8inch-USB-Monitor The new round displays should be supported too, but we couldn't verify that yet: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.1inch-USB-Monitor https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.8inch-USB-Monitor https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.4inch-USB-Monitor https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4inch-USB-Monitor However, please note that it requires a display running a currently unreleased new generation firmware that supports the JPEG transfer protocol that Waveshare and us worked together on. That protocol is required to let AIDA64 send JPEG image frames to the display device. If your device hasn't got the new firmware yet, then please contact Waveshare support and request a download link for the new firmware by stating your device type (e.g. 7-inch AIO LCD V2) as well as the "magic words" of JPEG transfer protocol 😎 Soon they will publish the new firmware images on their website too. 1 Quote

First of all, I'd like to sincerely thank the AIDA64 team for the time, effort, and support you've dedicated to implementing my monitor's brand into the software. I really appreciate your willingness to look into this and make the necessary changes. As you suggested, I'll contact the monitor manufacturer and ask if they can provide me with the latest firmware version. Once I receive it, I'll update the monitor and test everything as soon as possible. I'll report back with the results. Should I connect the monitor via the USB-C port, or should I use the USB cable connected to the motherboard? Does it make any difference for AIDA64, or will either connection work the same? At the moment I'm still getting this error, but I believe it's probably related to the monitor's firmware, since my unit is about a year old. I'm testing it on a the free version of the software because i'm new to it, (but i will but i think this is the only option i need to activate in order to let the software work. I'm currently using the trial version of AIDA64, i'm new to it, i think this is the only option to turn of in order to make the monitor work. I'll definitely be purchasing a license to support the time and effort you've put into this. I think for my use and with this monitor, the extreme version works, right? Quote

We've only tried it with the USB-C connector, and we assume it'd work similarly with the motherboard USB header. Yes, the Extreme edition will be perfect for you. Just make sure you evaluate the Waveshare module (as soon as you receive a firmware update) properly to make sure you get what you're looking for. BTW, the "Error: Get device message failed" error message indicates that your device doesn't respond to the commands related to the new JPEG image transfer protocol. This is a comment for other users, mostly, as you correctly pinned down the issue 🙂 Quote
