For test purpose, I'm not sure you need SATA controler... DSM won't detect any disks, but at least you will have serial logs to analyse.
Edit : in the end, if your hardware is powerfull enough, you might consider running DSM under virtual environment running Proxmox.
Best way to bypass hardware compatibility issues.
I will think if I wanna dive in with all these sr232 stuff (btw if redpill didn't detect lan (or other) drivers that should be fixable somehow without rs232),
also I have checked manuals about installing DSM with the proxmox... that process is long.
and then I discovered the Unraid. much more friendly all round, logs is there from scratch, no any setup needs and it just works...

If you don't have a genuine DB9 serial port on your baremetal DSM, you will need this :
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00GT65XME/ (this one is tested by me and known to work)
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00QM8ZPZ4/ (take care this is not a normal cable, but a : null modem)
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0753HBT12/ (this one tested by me too. Take care to buy a real Prolific PL2303 chipset and not a china clone, it won't work)
Once installed, and plugged to a remote computer.
You will need to correctly configure the USB to serial COM port on the remote computer
Of course it means you have access to a free PCI-E slot available on the hardware you want to run baremetal DSM.
Thanks for detailed presentation.
Last time I have used serial ports was in early 199x (to connect 2 pc's), did you mean there is no yet stub/wrapper for that redpill's serial interface so it could be reachable via usual tcp/ip and ssh-like consoles and there is no other simpler way to access logs?
I do not have COM-ports on my itx motherboard and the only PCI slot it has is busy by the SATA controller.
There is exists usb to rs232 adapters but I think it's kinda weird to use these in 2022 and I'm not sure redpill will gonna working well with them...

Look here in the "Basic Troubleshooting" section:
I tried that manual already, the problem is the loader is stuck/freeze after installation just before synology assistant
It just falls into endless "Starting kernel with USB boot" after step 8
looks like it's unresolving issue since there is no even simple log which I can read and check for errors...
anyway I switched to Unraid and it works fine for my needs.
nonetheless I could do some more tests to help others with similar problem on the hardware like I got (semi-modern Ryzen cpu)
if some1 knows what to do and wanna push that issue write in this post:

Give us some logs from your serial output
what is the path to the log file?

It doesn't matter if the model you built is not DS918+ or DS920+. And considering the number of HT cores, it cannot exceed 8.
It seems that the cause of the IP not showing is somewhere else.
I thought the problem is with the network adapter drivers since I tried to apply r8125 instead of r8125B.
anyway my progress with the installing DSM is stucked on the "Starting kernel with USB boot" and I can't find other obvious explanation.

The extension driver has nothing to do with the type of CPU. In the case of amd, the number of cores more than necessary may be a problem.
Interesting, I just checked - all AMD models of Synology got only 2/4 cores CPU.
But my CPU got 6 cores (Ryzen 5 5600G), should I try setup loader for something like RS3621RPxs/RS3617xs with my Ryzen? These systems are 6 cores too, but it's Intel-based on Xeons.

Hello,
requesting network adapter Realtek 8125B NIC driver for AMD Ryzen processor DSM builds,
I tried to use r8125 and it didn't worked sadly.

I mean virtualization - misstyped

Hello, I used to try installing with the TCRP loader (tinycore-redpill-uefi.v0.9.2.9) a few different builds/DSM versions,
but all of them were stucked on same step: "Starting kernel with USB boot"
I tried these platforms: DS3615xs, DS1621+ (2-3 versions of each like 7.1.0-42661)
I also tried to disable in the BIOS C1M, hyperthreading and few other options
I tried https://finds.synology.com/ - nothing found
there is no option in bios to turn on/off sata hot swap
there is no option in bios to disable m2 and audio
Hardware:
motherboard Biostar B550T-silver
cpu Ryzen 5 5600G
memory 2x8Gb Kingston 3200 (non-ECC)
disks: 4x16TB Seagate
linux commands:
I started with short way
./rploader.sh identifyusb now
./rploader.sh satamap now
./rploader.sh serialgen DS1621+
./rploader.sh build ds1621p-7.1.0-42661
./rploader.sh backup
exitcheck.sh rebootafter searching google/reading some forums ended up with this (tried to add Realtek RTL8125B drivers, but there was only RTL8125):
./rploader.sh update
./rploader.sh fullupgrade
./rploader.sh identifyusb now
./rploader.sh satamap now
./rploader.sh ext ds1621p-7.1.0-42661 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/r8125/rpext-index.json
./rploader.sh serialgen DS1621+ realmac
./rploader.sh build ds1621p-7.1.0-42661 manual
./rploader.sh backup
./rploader.sh backuploader
exitcheck.sh rebootIs there any logfile which I could check?
Any other suggestions?

Yeah but synology hardware is outdated and low perfomance. and overpriced.
I'd buy their OS separately if there is option but none yet
