@pocopicoSo i feel out of the loop a bit, what does friend allow us to do? Direct updates from synology? More?  Color me intrigued - willing to test but a bit confused. 
 

how can I help?

 

Direct updates is a bit trickier than what it looks and we should in general avoid any updates before we are certain the update will not brake our systems.

 

Its for controlled updates and automatic patching similarly to what Jumkey did with JUN mode or with that fabio does on ARPL.

I've tested all platforms that i support and fixed any issues i've found.

 

DS3615xs
DS3622xs
DS918+
DS920+
DVA3221 
DS3617xs
DS1621+
DVA1622

 

@Peter Suh can you please tell me which platforms you would also want TCRP Friend for ? 

 

Also for old installations that need add friend, you can execute :
  

./rploader.sh update
./rploader.sh fullupgrade
./rploader.sh bringfriend

yes of course, it worked as DS918+ with 6.2.3 (last update before DSM Change) and I've one equal HP 400 G2  running with that version... 

and I had once an early DSM 7 installed, but wanted to switch to JUNs method ... but no success anymore .

When installing first time,  NIC was working and I had connectivity but error because of SSD Error

 

Will try to install again from scratch ...

Did you read the results of my last test?  I had a problem with DS920+ and DS1621+.  I'll try again with a modified version.

In my opinion, it would be better to test with existing TCRP first rather than with TCRP friends.  Let's analyze the junior log through ttyd.  I think you can check if the ssd's error is preventing the nic from booting.

Also for old installations that need add friend, you can execute :

 

./rploader.sh update

./rploader.sh fullupgrade

./rploader.sh bringfriend

 

 

 

 

 

Updated DS1621+.

Loader's loading speed is much faster than last time.
Last time, the kernel shut down during the 42661 update process.
This time, after installing update 42962, the kernel enters the shutdown process.

The DS920+ remains unchanged from the original report.
The ip appears but network is not responding.

For DS920+, i need to recreate the bsp patch and you can do the following to continue :

 

1. press control-c and run ./boot.sh patchkernel and then ./boot.sh

2. start from 42661

 

EDIT: bsp patch for DS920+ has been updated so you can recreate DS920+ 42218 and start from there.

Rebuilt the loader for DS920+.
I tried to install 42218 dsm, the installation was successful, but the IP is not found again during the next boot process.

I tried booting again the ds920+ 42218 that did not get an IP a while ago.

This time, the small update process proceeded normally, and the initial setting screen was successfully entered.

Since then, I have installed 42661 and 42962 one after the other as shown in the loader below. All installations were successful,
The loader's log seems a bit odd.
