Develop and refine the DVA1622 loader

Since this comment I did, It as been confirmed that :

 

DVA1622 : can work with older than 4th gen CPU, but no AI then. Must have 4th to 9th gen intel CPU with iGPU to have AI features.

DVA3221 : can't work without at least 4th gen CPU. Needs Nvidia GPU for AI (GTX 1650)

I have a braswell Celeron N3150 with IGPU Intel HD Graphics 400, I not sure is compatible for AI ?

Nope, you have 3rd Gen and it clearly says minimum is 4gen lets say Celeron N4xxx J4xxx etc. But since you have AVX2/Movbe cpu instruction supported you can have AI on DVA3221 with Nvidia GTX 1650/1660 gpu. But not on igpu with DVA1622

I don't know where you find this number of generation ?

 

N3150 is 8th generation and J4125 9th generation:

Ok let me rephrase it its Celeron 4xxx cpu Series minimum required for AI to work in DVA1622 and Gen 4 minimum for Core Series

On https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/devices/hardware-table.html I use the command:

 

lspci -nn |grep  -Ei 'VGA|DISPLAY'
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:22b1] (rev 21)


and I show 22B1 is a Intel® HD Graphics XXX Gen8 Cherryview

 

This card is supported in the i915_pciids.h, so I need to use Patch i915 in arcloader for AI work ?

You can try if it says its supported by this patch but out of box it won't work. I personally haven't tried this patch

Hi, I’m really hoping someone can point me in the right direction. 
I’m using a fairly dated version of TCRP 0.9 and dva1622 7.1

I really want to upgrade to latest TCRP so I can be up to date on DSM. 
 

Here are the steps I’ve taken this far. 
 

Download/write latest TCRP to usb drive

Booted flash drive and performed these commands. 
 

./rploader.sh update

./rploader.sh fullupgrade

./rploader.sh identifyusb

./rploader.sh serialgen DVA1622 realmac

./rploader.sh build dva1622-7.1.1-42962 withfriend

exitcheck.sh reboot

 

when system booted back up, the tcrp friend page came one but no IP detected. 
 

when I opened synology assistant, machine was discovered but status was not installed. When I open the IP, I get no drives detected.

i shut down the machine, reinserted my previous usb key and rebooted machine, everything is back now.

 

what am I not doing correctly here?

any help is much appreciated. 

 

 

very well, I followed this post, the only difference was that I didn't withfriend, and I manually installed the pat file, I deactivated automatic updates. thank tou all

I migrate my DSM 6.2.3 to 7.2.1 rev 4 with no problem on my Braswell N3150 with the i915 addon.

All work but no AI, if exist a solution, I'll take it !

There is a solution, try N4xxx or J4xxx cpu as I told you before. The reason for AI not working in your case might be because DVA1622 hardcoded with specific igpus Intel UHD and your cpu has HD (without Ultra) all cpus that I have tested AI with had UHD 530 to UHD 630 and it worked fine. Celerons J4105, J4115, J4125, also I believe N4000 has UHD600 series igpu. Core i3 6100 has UHD530 works fine, i7 8700k has UHD 630 AI works fine. Look into this way.

Thanks, I think buy a N5000 for his low consupsion and better GPU

Not bad choice :) its faster than J4125 on igpu side which means AI will be more reliable, but a little slower on cpu speed side but I doubt that you will notice a difference in perfomance in dva1622. But 6watt vs 10watt is significant difference in terms of cooling. For example J4125 even with SoC just passive cooling is not enough when it comes to AI, while Pentimum N5000 with it's 6watts may get away with passive cooling to make the system completely noiseless. Also remember to use sata SSD and to boost performance a little bit you can use small capacity nvme m.2 ssd for Cache, unfortunately its not possible yet to use nvme as a volume in DVA1622.

if I try to put the gtx 1050 ti on j4125 does it work for AI?

On dva1622 it will work even without gtx 1050ti since it doesn't use dedicated gpu instead it uses integrated gpu in Intel's cpu. In order to use gtx 1050ti in AI to get more tasks which is 4 times more than dva1622 by default you should look into DVA3219. Your cpu is fine for both DVA1622 (without GTX 1050ti) and DVA3219 (with GTX 1050Ti) if you want to use AI.

I found lot of mini baremetal with J6426 or N100 with very low price. But it's gen 11th or 13th !

I waiting for i915 drivers ;)

 

I dont know abot J6426 noone reported it working on it, but there were discussions on forum about N100, I believe this patch is needed, but you ll have to search it yourself or risk it and test it out. Just in case if you going to buy one of these make sure you can return it back to the seller without any problems in case it won't work.

I found lot of mini PC on ALIEXPRESS with 13th generation N100, J6426 ... I hesitate with a J5040 (the best of 14nm CPU Geminilake), but I finaly chose this miniPC for better compatibility :

I remove everytime the miniPCIe Wifi and replace them with a miniPCIe SATA x2 controller that give to me a total of 4x drives.

Not really, you will still have 2 drives since DVA1622 doesn't support nvme drives as a Storage, only for Cache. And its not loader problem its Synology DSM. There are however other than DVA models that do support nvme drives for storage but only as secondary drive so DSM cannot be installed on them.

This miniPC has no nvme storage, on motherboard, there was 1 port msata + 1 port SATA + 1 port miniPCIe

I use 3x SSD with cache inside

Nvme = pci-e, minipci-e. So like I said only 2 sata (regular or msata) means 2 drives in DVA1622

I use actualy a baremetal with minipci x2 SATA and it's work fine !

I found lot of mini PC with J5040 with prices 110-140€:

 

https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005006311813456.html

 

but it's M.2 2280 + 1 SATA, and miniPCI is under the M.2 2280, so no ASM1062 support or, only ASM1062 support with no M.2 2280

 

If you buy this: you can up to 5x SATA with this miniPC with a J5040 power !1708167477-capture.png

Thats mSATA adapter on image and not m.2. Moreover if miniPC has m.2 slot it must clearly state whether it supports m.2 sata or only pci-e nvme drives or both. You can't put m.2 sata (M+B Key) ssd into m.2 pci-e slot it will not work... Its basically same thing as trying to put DDR3 memory into DDR4 slot or vise versa
