Help getting lcd screen to work

[phone guy]

I am using RP on a branded nas box with an lcd display. The folks using freenas/truenas have worked out a script to load on boot that allows you to read a multitude of info from this screen..cpu temp, ip, etc. Is there a way to make this script (which is for truenas/freenas) work on a RP 7.0.1 apollolake build?

All this information is linked from this post. They even mention specific fan control, as the fan seems to be at max speed from boot on RP.

This box has a Pentium N3710 with upgraded 16gb ram and 2 nic. DSM7 seems to work fine. Both lan ports work, drives are seen in order and successfully created a SHR btrfs pool. Shut down works.. all seems fine. (I have not tried transcoding for video as that is not my concern at this point, hopefully its task will simply be storage only)

 

If anyone can assist me I would highly appreciate it.

Are there any news? I have a WD MyCloud PR2100 and I would like to use DSM7. But it's not possible without a fan control etc. Thanks for any hints and recommendations.
