Driver install without integration to kernel module

[Dvalin21]

Is it possible to install driver to your xpenology nas without it being installed or integrated into the kernel? And if so how?

Is it possible to install drivers on xpenology nas without installing or integrating the drivers into the kernel? If so how?

First, after checking the dependencies between the driver (module) en files you want to use,

 

1. Copy desired module.ko file(s) to /lib/modules directory as root user.

 

2. /usr/sbin/depmod -a
Recreate all module dependencies in /etc/modules.conf with the command

 

3. modprobe module_name
The driver injection process is performed considering the dependencies of the module as a command.

 

Recently I developed M SHELL for TCRP FRIEND

So snd_hda_intel is the .ko for my AMD GPU. With the kernel for synology being different than the common linux kernel, how would I compile and make it compatible for synology kernel?

I also don't know a specific way to recompile it as an extension module for Synology.
However, I am using the .ko files already created by pocopico or fabio.
