rickym Posted April 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2022 I am confused on what is necessary to try latest version of Synology 7 with Red Pill. I am not super technical and trying to figure out if I can just download the loader of if it's something I have to compile which is way beyond my skill level. Just a dumb girl. Running several servers with earlier versions. Thanks in advance 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this for the N54L ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocopico Posted April 1, 2022 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2022 Then you might want to try Tinycore redpill and use platform DS3622xs+ (broadwellnk) for that. In any case it would be nice to test the easiness on less linux oriented people. Just download the image : https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill/blob/main/tinycore-redpill.v0.4.6.img.gz Uncompress write that to on a USB stick and start using that. Its a few commands and i'm pretty sure you'll be able to handle that. After writing the image on a USB you can use it to boot you N54L into Tinycore Redpill and you will be presented with a Desktop GUI. You open the terminal command and type : ./rploader.sh update now ./rploader.sh fullupgrade now ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+ ./rploader.sh identifyusb DS3622xs+ ./rploader.sh satamap now ./rploader.sh backup now ./rploader.sh build broadwellnk-7.0.1-42218 Then upon succesfull completion you can reboot and select USB Boot at GRUB and then after a couple of minutes you can open a browser to http://find.synology.com/ Enjoy and let me know how it went 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickym Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Thanks so much. Everything went fine. That's my movie server with over 1600 movies on it so for now I am just testing but not wanting to migrate all my movies as it took many years to accomplish. Just using a spare drive for testing purposes. Thanks again for all your help. Edited April 1, 2022 by rickym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I try with DS3615xs since my processor is i3-3210? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
