vinhdt Posted July 6, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2019 Now that there is a new Raspberry Pi 4 with gigabit Ethernet and usb 3.0. Wondering if it possible to create a loader for this new raspberry pi 4 with 4gb of memory. Attaching two external 10tb of usb 3.0 storage and plugged into one of Cyberpower ups for power backup.

Polanskiman Posted July 6, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2019 I would guess anything is possible but as it was already suggested to you in a previous topic you posted someone would have to make a loader for ARM which I highly doubt will ever happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydibe Posted July 27, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Why would some invest time for an arm bootloader? A system with low energy consumption can be build with Celeron J3455 CPUs today. If you want it to be cheap like the Pi, you might want to take a look at the AtomicPI. It commes with a x86-64 cpu. Though, the nic is a RTL8111G, so you won't be able to run the latest DSM versions. I doubt this soc board is powerfull enough to run ESXi on it - even if it would, the RTL8111G is not supported ootb.

pooky Posted October 28, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 28, 2019 RPI 4 with 4GB will be amazing for NAS, I try to setup with QEMU (qemu-system-x86_64) with jun's loader for 6.2 (and other) but always get error: [ 0.000000] CPU: vendor_id 'AuthenticAMD' unknown, using generic init. After this I get Kernel Panic. Current KVM only work with aarch64 :( but there may be better support for ARM virtualization in the future.

Dont waste your time, just use openmediavault that has a loader for rpi and does everything dsm does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooky Posted October 28, 2019 Share #6 Posted October 28, 2019 DSM have many useful apps, other NAS like OMV is just samba share like and this can be done with any linux dist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM to X86 emulation would probably be too slow for this anyways. just use open source alternatives.

DangVanBi Posted March 3, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 3, 2020 Hi all, At this time, is expenology work well for Raspberrry Pi 4 ? Anybody try to do it ? Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polanskiman Posted March 3, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 3, 2020 No. Read my answer at the top of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerkyUnicorn Posted March 4, 2020 Share #10 Posted March 4, 2020 I think the price difference between the R Pi 4 and some old celeron boards doesn't worth the trouble of making an ARM loader for dsm unless you want the extreme small size... They're right about using other Linux distros, the NAS stuff can be done with OMV easily, and the syno-exclusive apps you want, ARM won't have enough juice for those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooky Posted June 9, 2020 Share #11 Posted June 9, 2020 I managed to install DSM 6.2 on Raspberry Pi 4 4GB with QEMU x86_64 emulation. It's took to many time to install and it's extremely slow (unusable). I think if we had any ARM bootloader it would work great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
