Thanks pocopico, I studied the best way to update, this idea of yours crossed my mind, but I preferred to implement the rootfs update directly. There is already in the latest alpha images the upgrade option, which works for addons and LKMs and will work for arpl after releasing a non-pre-release

Loader patches block access to updates, through /etc/synoinfo.conf as well as /etc/hosts. I recommend keeping it that way, as it is not possible to guarantee that a future update will work, manually updating after testing is the best way.

I'm already testing new options to update online without having to redo the image. I created scripts to automate the compilation of modules and recreate the addons, I even made it work in github actions, so it will be fast.

Yes, today I and @ikky_phoenix did several tests in vmware and discovered several bugs, so I'll pass a link with a new image for tests.

Try add more memory to your virtual machine

Guys, new alpha release, DS920+ fixed: https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl/releases/download/v0.1-alpha4/arpl-0.1-alpha4.img.zip

I found the problem. Soon I will post the new corrected version.

Thanks @pocopico, I'll add to my loader.

I noticed a bug. "internalportcfg" should have a "0x" in front, my script got it wrong. This could be your problem. PS: Is not necessary both r8168 and r8169, choose only one. I recommends r8168

It is not necessary to set the variables if you do not want to change the default MAC of your card. If you have 1 card and want to change MAC, set mac1="xxxxxxxxxxxx" and netif_num=1

Very thanks @pocopico, I appreciate your opinion.

In your case it should work! I really don't know what could be happening. DSM has native drivers for SATA controllers. Which DSM model are you using?

Hi, it's not bug. All supported models have the e1000e module natively. The loader didn't find any other modules needed in your case. The e1000e module exists for any future model that does not have it. ACPId is not installed automatically, when I confirm that it works in any situation I will put it to be installed automatically. Ah, I forget to answer your second question, sorry. You can update up to 42661 update5 which is the latest at this time. No need to turn off internet access.

Hi trublu, I will slowly compile and add new drivers to the repository. The Addon format is not compatible with TTG extensions. The .addon files are simply a ".tar.gz" file, containing anothers ".tar.gz" for the files to be installed and a "manifest.yml" file with addon information. I used the YAML format that I have more knowledge of. With a little knowledge it is possible to get the extensions binaries and copy them to the loader, but the intention is to be as simple as possible for the end user so I have to create the addons little by little to make it easier. PS: this modules, igb and ixgbe, are native into models, no?

Hi bonestaak, Please type "r8169.addon" in the field. Complete URL looks like: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fbelavenuto/arpl-addons/main/r8169.addon About disks, please show screen of "Cmdline menu -> Show SATA(s) # ports and drives" menu:

Hi, get in the releases page: https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl/releases

Hello my friend, thanks for testing on vmware. I could only test with proxmox and baremetal. when I have the chance I will test it on ESXi. Try add only e1000.

I added an option to download addons, to make it easier to add drivers. Please download alpha2: https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl/releases/download/v0.1-alpha2/arpl-0.1-alpha2.img.zip Oficial addons now are here: https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl-addons r8125 added

@ikky_phoenix is a friend who helped me with the tests, I forgot to mention him.

Hello everyone, I would like to share a personal project that I am developing. It is another loader for TTG Redpill, intended to be as automatic and user-friendly as possible. The link is below, download the image and record it on a flash drive, the rest is done on the same computer. I'm Brazilian and I'm not good at English language, so forgive me for translation errors. I used forum knowledge and code from various loaders developed by TTG, pocopico, jumkey, Jun and many others. Hope you like it. https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl Edit: An important information that I forgot to mention is that I developed a simple patch to no longer display the DUMMY port error on models without device-tree, the user will be able to install without having to worry about it
