x01015918

maybe unrelated, I had issues with cold power up with this board and it got better by removing the bios jumper, asrock j4205-itx supports jumperfree so I see no damage in trying it also. I will try and make a detailed explanation with what works for me when I get back from work.

I mentioned "video=eDP:d video=DP-1:d video=HDMI-A-1:d video=HDMI-A-2:d" is not working for me. just remove the cables CSM yes all three to UEFI Only Don't disable Intel SpeedStep, it will not burst to 2.6. try to keep RAM and Voltage to auto until you make a successful installation Suspend to RAM: AUTO; ACPI HPET Table: enable get also https://synocommunity.com/package/ffmpeg and run ....@appstore/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg -config

there is hope

ok, further info, I managed to keep 2 x 4k streams simultaneously with minimal buffering by enabling CSM / UEFI ONLY .....

are you formatting the HDD in your NAS before each install?

I meant 1 x 1080p.DD5.1.x264 + sub to 720p is buffering every 10/20 sec

monitor unplug only fixes the sudden reboot when trying to transcode, to check if the driver is ready just see if /dev/dri exist, type "ls /dev/dri" for videostation hw transcode you need an original sn+mac not sure it''s the case for plex. can you share dmesg output with me?

you need to remove agpgart intel-gtt intel-agp drm drm_kms_helper i915, and make a clean install format the hard drive before instaling

Currently i915 driver is causing kernel panic on ASRock Apollo Lake boards and dev/dri folder is missing. many reported the issue around the forum.

Hi, I removed the faulty i915 drivers from extra, you can download and test it here. hw transcoding is working but performance is low on both videostation and plex but I don't think is related to the loader. on ASRock j4205-ITX you have to unplug any monitor before using hw transcoding otherwise the system will reboot, this one might be due to /dev/dri permissions or the DP to hdmi coverter on this board. reboot/shutdown is working properly again. I recommend doing a clean install, formatting the hard drive before testing. You can test disabling video outputs in the grub, for me it didn't install properly. video=eDP:d video=DP-1:d video=HDMI-A-1:d video=HDMI-A-2:d root@DS918:~# ls /dev/dri card0 controlD64 renderD128 root@DS918:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_frequency_info PM IER=0x00000070 IMR=0xffffff8f ISR=0x00000000 IIR=0x00000000, MASK=0x00003fae pm_intr_keep: 0x80000000 GT_PERF_STATUS: 0x006030cb Render p-state ratio: 48 Render p-state VID: 203 Render p-state limit: 0 RPSTAT1: 0x12000030 RPMODECTL: 0x00000d92 RPINCLIMIT: 0x000027d8 RPDECLIMIT: 0x00005a00 RPNSWREQ: 800MHz CAGF: 600MHz RP CUR UP EI: 3192 (2660us) RP CUR UP: 477 (397us) RP PREV UP: 0 (0us) Up threshold: 85% RP CUR DOWN EI: 5109 (4257us) RP CUR DOWN: 482 (401us) RP PREV DOWN: 0 (0us) Down threshold: 60% Lowest (RPN) frequency: 100MHz Nominal (RP1) frequency: 250MHz Max non-overclocked (RP0) frequency: 800MHz Max overclocked frequency: 800MHz Current freq: 800 MHz Actual freq: 600 MHz Idle freq: 100 MHz Min freq: 100 MHz Boost freq: 800 MHz Max freq: 800 MHz efficient (RPe) frequency: 250 MHz Current CD clock frequency: 624000 kHz Max CD clock frequency: 624000 kHz Max pixel clock frequency: 624000 kHz [ 127.551937] ACPI: Power Button [PWRB] [ 127.601681] Linux agpgart interface v0.103 [ 127.674041] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [ 127.809306] [drm] Memory usable by graphics device = 4096M [ 127.882071] [drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 2 (21.10.2013).

guys, be aware that if you install plex from the package center it will be 32bit versions (hw transcoding not supported), you need to download the 64bit version from website, with plex pass active.

for plex you need to force the transcoding by disabling the direct play in player options.

ok, so I need to recompile the kernel?

cool, I have the j4205-itx

everything works with the current 6.2 alpha image, network, hw transcoding, etc

Hi, Any Idea why scaling_driver is acpi-cpufreq and not INTEL_PSTATE? intel_pstate=enable don't work either. Asrock J4205-ITX/Jun v1.03а2/6.2 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_driver acpi-cpufreq /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate: No such file or directory

I expect ApolloLake to work fine with the new 6.2 since 918 uses the same arhitecture. GA-J3355N-D2P GA-J3455N-D3H Asrock 3355B-ITX Asrock J3455B-ITX Asrock J3455-ITX Asrock J4205-ITX

ok, so da actual reboot problem was on 6.1.7, since the pat file has the same name like 6.2 I installed 6.1.7, 6.2 it is more stable in that regard, still sometimes the network don't work soft reboot.

sudo synocodectool --activate_codec h264_dec --pkgname videostation reboot

First you need to download the client from the web with plex pass active so you get the enable hw transcoding option, second you can force hw transcoding by disabling the direct play in player options

I know from previous tries that you need original serial+mac, you can find some on google.

Hi, I have the same issue with reboots, or the whole server going offline even if it's powered up with network lights working. I have test hw transcoding and it seem to be working but it the processor is not boosting, I have j4205 and it stays at 1.5 ghz.

Nice, gr8 job @jun , thank you! maybe we can get Apollo Lake working with this loader.

unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to peruse this further, at least if we need to add additional vendor id's we can't do it without disassemble to whole file and recompile it. I am thinking getting the j3710 board....

sry, tnks
