Massive thanks to jun!
Hardware acceleration is now working on my 8th gen i7-8700K. Using new ds918 loader 1.04b. Bare metal on DSM 6.2.1.
Even with Plex running inside a Docker container it is detecting the hardware (for anyone wondering, this required the plex user having ownership of /dev/dri/* and setting the device flag + mounting /dev/dri in the container).
This is really super... I thought it would only be possible with another big kernel upgrade from Synology. Fantastic to have it working with these CPU's. Thanks again for the amazing work jun 👌

OK i downgraded my Bios to 1.3 on my Asrock J4205-itx and made a fresh install with a brand new Hdd an and a new USB-Stick, but the /dev/dir folder isnt there.
For my use is HW transcoding from a h265 Video important.
I know that many people have the same problem with the Asrock itx Boards so i hope that someone can find a solution and share it with us. 🙂
Я давно подозреваю (со времен выхода synoboot), что пачится не только загрузчик дсм, но и на флэшке что-то происходит т.е. флэшка после первой установки дсм уже не та, что записанная изначально...
И заявление Jun's о том что после обновления 6.2.1 на загрузчике 1.03b ломаются все драйвера, носят не фигуральный характер...
Before I ran FOXBI's script, the specs said 4 cores for Xeon D-1527, which is the CPU in the DS3617xs:
Note this is the number of cores, NOT threads which would be 8 for this CPU! Check Intel's datasheet here.
So DSM is always meant to show physical cores, not logical ones. Therefore this is a small bug in the script....
- Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL
- DSM version prior update: Fresh install of DSM 6.2.1-23824 -> Update 1
- Loader version and model: Jun's LOADER v1.04b - DS918+
- Using custom extra.lzma: NO
- Installation type: BAREMETAL - SuperMicro X11SSH-LN4F + i3 6300 + 16Gb ECC + 1 Dell Perc H310 IT mode.
- Additional comments:
8HDD in H310 & 2 SSD in MB detected and working properly (16 disks oob 😲)
4 NIC´s working after modifying synoinfo.conf.
/dev/dri finally showed up😊
Plex & Video Station trascode crashes the system after some seconds 😢 (without trascoding it plays perfectly).
Shutdown and reboot working (It was not possible with 1.03a2).
UEFI boot
