Develop and refine the DVA1622 loader

@gadreel as baremetal, you probably won't be able to fake PCI ID... and I'm not sure 10th gen addon handle 8086:9BC8.

 

I did rebuild i915.ko to enable my ID in it but never made it work for Surveillance Station.

It only worked for Plex/Emby.

 

Then with proxmox faking ID made everything work.

 

@Orphée

 

I tried through Proxmox, I went though your steps and everything but no luck.

 

Today I tried with DSM 7.1 and I got it to output the display. Does the DSM version matters?

Same question goes for ARPL and ARC will it make any difference if I use ARPL instead of ARC loader?

@gadreel The first prerequisite is to passthrough your iGPU. as long as you don't have a working passthrough (/dev/dri available and i915 module loaded) you won't succeed.

There are hardware and bios configuration mandatory for this.

 

So depending on your hardware, PCI-e passtrough may not be possible at all on your hardware.

 

As I told you 9BC8 is not part of genuine i915 driver available in DVA1622 loader.

 

Unless 10th i915 addon handle 9BC8, your only option will be to rebuild the i915 module yourself like I usually did for my need.

 

i915_pciids.h

 

 

9BC8 is considered as Gen9... so 10th gen addon my not ship 9BC8...

 

 

When I rebuilt module myself, as it is actually just a PCI ID issue, I just added the missing line

for you it would be :   

 

Quote

 

#define INTEL_CFL_S_GT2_IDS(info) \
    INTEL_VGA_DEVICE(0x3E91, info), /* SRV GT2 */ \
    INTEL_VGA_DEVICE(0x3E92, info), /* SRV GT2 */ \
    INTEL_VGA_DEVICE(0x3E96, info), /* SRV GT2 */ \
    INTEL_VGA_DEVICE(0x3E9A, info)  /* SRV GT2 */ \

    INTEL_VGA_DEVICE(0x9BC8, info)  /* SRV GT2 */

 

 

But I did it some month ago, I don't have building environnment anymore.

And don't ask me any help on how to do it yourself, it is to old for me to remind perfectly.

It worked, I installed on Proxmox 7.4 instead of 8, followed your guide to blacklist the i915 and I installed arc loader and DSM 7.1.

I used 3e91 as the device id and it works.

 

I feel that the reason it was not working before it was due to DSM 7.2...

It works with 7.2

 

Edit :

 

You may try this without any warranty, I hexedited the 7.2 i915 module  :i915_9BC8.ko

@Orphée Thanks, I created a task and then I received a message that I cannot have more than one or two tasks which is very limited.

I have placed an order for a GTX 1650 GDDR5, to test DVA3221 which has a lot more tasks...

Hello,

 

I managed to install it on Synology original 918+ in VMM (Virtual Machine Manager) with RedPill ARPL v1.1-beta2a DVA1622 loader VMDK.

Everything is fine until the installation, but there is a problem because it cannot detect the Hard Disk.

If someone can help me, i read 26 pages so far but i didn't find anything for my problem or i missed something i didn't understand

In picture number 3 you will see the procedure I used from this site:

https://prog.world/test-run-of-synology-video-surveillance-system-for-8-cameras/

 

Thank you in advance!

did you add a virtual disk to the vm's config in VMM?

the vmdk is just the boot media (loader), you would at least need one (virtual) disk to install dsm in that VM, on newer dsm installs its ~20GB for dsm istself and some space is needed as data volume to at least install packages in dsm, i guess the storage for recordings can alter be mounted in same way from the main/host system (would be nor verry effective to have a extra virtual disk in the host for recordings)

[vista1967]

Thank you very much, that was my problem, I didn't add 1 more virtual disk.

Now ask if I'm sure I want to format drive 1, I'm not sure if this is virtual disk 1 or my primary physical disk?

[vista1967]

I finally managed to install everything and everything works
Now I have a problem with License (0) I don't have it, but it should have 8?

My charger is RedPill ARPL v1.1-beta2a DVA1622.

Did you manually change SN to UBR after first 4 digits at begining while building the loader?

Try using more recent version of the loader it should have been fixed.

Edited September 23, 2023 by dimakv2014

[vista1967]

I think this is the last version from ARPL, do you think there is something newer than this?

I managed to replace the SN as you said and now I have 8 licenses.
Thank you very much!

Hello,

I created 2 virtual disks of 30 GB, but now the problem is that the disks fill up in 1 day and I have no more space, then an error appears that I need to repair the disks.

I use the virtual DVA1622 only for 8 licenses, no cameras are connected to it, but they are connected to our real DS918+.

 

Thanks in advance if anyone has a solution!

You dont have igpu on dva1622 and it builds error logs, you need to disable Local Display service and remove those log files through SSH.

 

1. Disable Local Display in Surveillance Station -> Apps

2. Enable SSH and Telnet on Synology

3. with WinSCP login as admin to Synology

4. sudo -i to become root

5. Navigate to following folder:

/volume1/@appstore/SurveillanceStation/local_display/

6. run command:

sudo rm /volume1/\@appstore/SurveillanceStation/local_display/.config/chromium-local-display/BrowserMetrics/*.pma

7. Disable SSH and Telnet in DSM. May need to reboot. Done.

Super thank you very much, here I have done everything and restarted DVA1622, the disks are almost empty, I will follow until tomorrow to see if it worked

[vista1967]

@dimakv2014

 

Hi, when I do this command the disk is empty and a few hours later it is full again.
Maybe I didn't do something right?

Thank you

Check in Surveillance Station if Local Display is off

Added screen

[vista1967]

I deactivated it, I'll see again tomorrow if it worked.
Thank you!

@dimakv2014

 

That was the problem, now everything is fine.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, I have a question again

is it possible to update my current version (DVA1622)  DSM 7.1.1-42962 update 6 with the new one DSM 7.2.1-69057,  my loader is RedPill ARPL v1.1-beta2a ?

 

Thank you!

It all depends on a loader, if Pocopico's TCRP then you must rebuild it, if APRL or Arc, you can try click update in Arc worked right away

Hey folks,

 

which display/video adapter is recommend to use face recognition/deep video analytics. I have a HP Microserver with Intel Xeon E3-1265L V2  - the onboard GPU (Intel® HD-Grafik 2500) does not seem to work.

 

Thank you guys

You can forget it with this CPU / motherboard.

 

You need at least 4th gen CPU / haswell.

@dimakv2014

 

I have now installed TCRP virtually,I did these commands:

./rploader.sh update

./rploader.sh fullupgrade

./rploader.sh identifyusb

./rploader.sh serialgen DS920+

./rploader.sh build dva1622_42661   now I don't know what the command is to install the latest version DSM 7.2.1-69057

 

maybe i should install first: ./rploader.sh build dva1622_42661 and only then to update DSM 7.2.1-69057, according to the classic procedure?

 

thank you!

Nope, if its one of the latest versions you have to use web interface with your http://ip, also edit user_config.json
