Could you please consider adding some grub features like having the capability to tell grub to load a particular boot menu entry for next boot only
Normal Grub implementation supports this as: grub-set-default 1
However grub doesnt seem to be available in tcrp loader mode.

🤯 this is exactly what caught my attention in your original posting. I THOUGHT the only way the networking would actually function at all, was the TCRP encoded MAC address HAD to match the ACTUAL hardware MAC address of what your motherboard or add-in ethernet port had. So from I am learning from you, this is not an actual requirement. This would mean I too, can use my decommissioned DS920+ real SN/MAC as well. I'm also hoping to use WOL, Transcoding, Advanced Media Codecs and though I know there are various rough draft tutorials on using said feature WITHOUT a REAL SN/MAC combo, this is even better news.
I'm very intrigued by your previous positing, as I am planning on going from DS3615xs to DS920+, wondering if I will be able to replicate your shocked surprised success/discovery in having it all auto enable and configure ---> "so apparently when i converted my ds3266 box to ds918+ using tcrp 0.8.5. It enabled/added the necessary extension to support hardware decoding. After the migration to ds918 /dev/dri was already there and i have successful HW decoding working with PLEX. I also used real Ds918 mac and serial so i also have the advanced media codec working successfully for HECV support in synology photos etc."
I also debated going to ds920. But I wasn’t sure about the different sata mapping method tcrp uses for that so I decided to go with the 918.
to tell you the truth I performed a high risk task for this migration. I did this all remote from across the country lol.
I tested in a vm environment first, repeated all the conversions steps etc multiple times to make sure I wouldnt lose access to the remote setup at any point. It was dumb of me to do this, but at the end it did work successfully.
I have some very rough notes that I documented for all of this. I can pm you those if you want. -

Yes, I am aware of the TCRP generation of SN/MAC and most people using this, even I have used in previous testing. The key point, that I am trying to clarify is that the MAC address you have encoded in your TCRP loader is from a REAL from a D918+.....however THAT MAC address does not actually match the MAC address of your built-in or add-in ethernet card, correct? Example: Synology MAC - 001132... Built-in/add-in NIC - F8B156...
I don’t know the details as to how and at what network level this MAC mapping is done, but I see your point. from what I see, ifconfing on the xpenology and also on my home router, both show the Mac I had specified in tarp.
in the past I’ve used the real mad for my Nic because I wanted to use WOL. Though I don’t need that anymore. But someone here mentioned that wol works with fake Mac also! I haven’t tried.

Don't flame me...just trying to understand something, to clarify...thought it worked one way, but your feedback seems to imply otherwise. So let me get this straight..
1) You have a mini pc with lntel N5095A, likely with a single built-in ethernet port, and it's factory programmed MAC address.
2) In your build of the TCRP loader, you have created it using a REAL SN from a DS918+ unit unit to the configuration file.
3) In your build of the TCRP loader, you have also added your REAL MAC address from your DS918+ unit to the configuration file.
4) So your TCRP loader configuration file REAL MAC address doesn't match the mini pc with lntel N5095A factory programmed built-in ethernet port MAC address and yet you have fully functional ethernet connectivity?
I thought the TCRP configuration of the MAC address had to match the REAL MAC address of the motherboard, otherwise no connectivity.
Thanks
ok so i was referring to my baremetal system here which is based on intel i3-8100. But that is only relevant for the HW video transcoding portion.
As for TCRP build, most people use the "serialgen" command of tcrp, which generates serial/MAC combo. These are not REAL serials/MAC and has no impact on network connectivity.
However in my case, i was looking to install and actviate synoloyg's advance media codec pack. Which ony works if i use REAL synology serial and MAC combo. So for that i used that info in my tcrp build, no other reason.

is there any hope in getting i915 gpu driver to work for 11th gen intel cpus e.g Jasper lake , celeron N5095A

Thank you for the reply. Hopefully a last question.
What about for intel i3-8100, coffee lake cpu? Do your drivers cover that? If so, do i need to copy additional firmware files other than the 3 bin files files you mentioned. Thanks again.

intel N5095A is jasper lake and these drivers don’t cover that graphics pci id 0x4e55Ok thanks. So what would be my option, To compile the driver's myself? If so, I don't know if I have enough know-how for that to be honest.
Do you know if the drivers for jasoerlake for ds918 platform exist anywhere? Thank you.

@blackmangaHi I had been banging my head for weeks to try to get HW transcoding to work in plex on my ds918 xpenelogy , DSM 7.1.0 42661 with TCRP loader, setup. i think your thread here is prbably the closes im getting to making it work.
I have a mini pc with lntel N5095A processor. I have copied over the .ko fies from your first post here. What i dont understand, do i need to copy over some firmware bin files also? So far i did run your scripts, but dont think they worked on my setup because the /dev/dri is still missing. Therefore i wondering if need to copy over some bin files before running your scrut.
Would really appreciate your help here. THanks

Ds3622, dsm 7.1
Well I was able to sort my own issue. By using sataport map of 22 and disk Id of 00.
ps. Would some have any pointers for me to get hw transcoding to work under ds918,dsm 7.1 setup. Using real Mac and serial. Even have synologys advanced media codec pack installed and activated.
I seem to be missing the /dev/dri directory.
-
any luck with this? Im having same issue. However for me the /dev/dri doesnt even exist.
using real mac/SN. Advanced media codec pack also installed and activated.

Any way of asking grub to boot into tcrp loader mode for "next boot only". Assuming my starting state is a fully/normal booted up xpenology baremetal.
I want to attempt something remotely and dont want to manually and permanently set the default boot menu to be tcrp incase something goest wrong.
I do have the capability of remotely power cycle the box.
i know in standard grubg we can use "grub-reboot" followed by the entry we want to use for next boot but i cant find where the grub boot binary is located in tcrp.

Is it possible to install DSM on the following hardware and which platform would be suitable?
Huananzhi x79-16D + two CPUs E5-2697 v2 + 128 gb RAMDS3622xs seems to be the most common platform, unless you want hardware video transcoding then ds918 seems to be the way to go.
-
where is the "grub" binary located in tiny core. I want to execute a "grub-reboot" command to boot into a different menuentry only for the next boot.

Bought a NUC style small PC to play with. Testing trcp 0.8.5 on it. But running into several issue during build.
First:
tc@box:~$ ./rploader.sh satamap now Found "00:17.0 Intel Corporation Device 4dd3 (rev 01)" Detected 2 ports/1 drives. Bad ports: 1. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <2> Computed settings: SataPortMap=2 DiskIdxMap=00i figured ill set the port map to 1, which i did afterwrds in the user_config file, to try to overcome this issue? the mini pc only has a single ssd drive in it?
Second thing i notice during the build process was:
It looks that you will need the following modules : Found VGA Controller : pciid 8086d00004e55 Required Extension : No matching extension Found SATA Controller : pciid 8086d00004dd3 Required Extension : No matching extensionThird i ran into this:
Entering synoesp extract rd.gz finish cpio: dev/console: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted cpio: dev/net/tun: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted 42506 blocks extract rd mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/sdb3/auxfiles': File exists Copying required files to local cache folder for future useAt that point the process was still continuing but i decided to kill it. Should i be concerned with those errors or are they warning? The first file about the sata port seems to suggest that dsm install will fail. Would appreciate some input from knowledgeable folks who might know about this, Thanks.
EDIT: I updated the build process and reboot. It takes me to the DSM install web interface but says no drives were detected.

is it possible to update an existing usb flash drive with tcrp 0.8.5 to the latest 0.9.x tcrp loader without have to write the image on the usb drive?
./rloader fullupgrade now doesnt do anything as is.
Is there a a repo update or something needed to pull the new version? Thanks
Essentialyl i'm looking to go from DSM 7.1.x to 7.1.1 and as i understand i cannot do that with tcrp 0.8.x?

If you've gone as far as building the loader, the issue for the above question seems to have been resolved.
Is there any particular reason to stay with DSM 7.1.0-42661?
My M SHELL can proceed without problems up to the latest version of DSM, 7.1.1-42962 Update 2.
Install additional M SHELL with the command below and try building the DS918+ loader again.curl -L "https://github.com/PeterSuh-Q3/tinycore-redpill/raw/main/my.sh.gz" -O;tar -zxvf my.sh.gz;
After executing ./menu.sh, build the loader according to the instructions below.
https://github.com/PeterSuh-Q3/tinycore-redpill#readme
Regardless of the DSM build version of the loader
After that, it's your choice whether to stay with DSM 7.1.0-42661 or use 7.1.1-42962 Update 2.
A loader for a higher revision covers lower revisions as well.Thanks. My issue seemed to have been disk space on the loader lartition as I was testing with a VM and the vmdk for tcep was 1gb.
I haven't tried anything with the ARPL if that's what your referring to for the menu.sh?

Migration from DS3622xs+ to DS920+ is expected in the following order:
The following process is safe when IP can be predicted by fixing the three MAC addresses before the change, after the change, and the real mac in the router.
If you connect from outside, it is assumed that all three IPs are port-forwarded.
Both port 22 for SSH connection and port 5000 for DSM connection must be open.1. SSH access to DS3622xs+ in DSM booting state, mount synoboot1 in /p1 folder, and modify grub.cfg file ( Default Boot to Tinycore [Boot entry index starts from 0.] )
2. Tinycore Boot
3. SSH access to Tinycore (Real MAC address and mapped IP are used)
4. DS920+ loader building after changing SN, MAC of user_config.json
(After building the loader, the default boot is fixed to the loader)5. After the change, connect to port 5000 with MAC and mapped IP and proceed with migration
6. After the migration process, connect to the DSM manager through the same IP port 5000
A scenario like this shouldn't even be the slightest mistake.
Am I missing something in this scenario?@Peter SuhIm testing editing the grub in a VM. I can mount the synoboot1 partition and edit the grub default to be 3(tiny core loader). However at reboot its still on boot menu 2 and goes into DSM boot instead of tinycore loader.

By the way a correction to my statement. Im looking to convert my ds3622 to ds918+ NOT ds920+.
Im curious If convert my baremetal ds3622xs+ with 5 HDDs to a DS 918+. Would i only be able to use 4 disk drives as the real ds918 only has 4 drives or the umber of drives doesnt matter to the model? Thank you

can the cpu be upgraded without a rebuild?
I’m just looking to change my cpu from Intel i3 8100 to i7 8700. Both are 8th gen cpus.
Is a simple swap enough or a rebuild of loader etc will be needed?
