Franzl Posted December 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2017 Hello i am new to this forum and Xpenology. I build up a System using Intel Pentium G4600 CPU (Kaby Lake) on Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-H270N-WiFi . Which is right BootLoader for me and does it fully support these CPU ? Thanks for your help.

All the loaders should 'work' with this cpu and mobo, I would recommend the 3615 image as there are more forum members using that image so better chance of support if you have any issues. The intel nics and sata should work ok with the default image, but you might need to play around with the mobo bios settings for sata/m2 sata connectors to see how DSM shows drives connected.

Franzl Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted December 21, 2017 still not clear which loader i need: a) want to use link aggregation as mobo has 2 LAN (alredy works with TL-SG2008 switch) -> do i need 2 Serial numbers as i have 2 Mac adresses ? b) want to use kaby lake transcoding engine in Pentium G4600 -> is 3615 image supporting that (anywhere i red some different notes) or is it better to go for 918 loader ? c) Do i need to register @Synology with both Mac Adresses to use Video station transcoding ? d) whats about linux kernel version (3.x or 4.x) : is one of both better for using transcoding or kaby lake ?

The serial number is unrelated to the network. The serial number is simply a serial number like there is in any Synology Box. One is all that you need. As for the loader it is simply a matter of knowing what hardware you have and what your needs are. Simply go to Synology's website, look at the specs of each of the 3 models (DS3615xs, DS3617xs and DS916+) and then select the loader according to what you have/need. 4 hours ago, Franzl said: b) want to use kaby lake transcoding engine in Pentium G4600 -> is 3615 image supporting that (anywhere i red some different notes) or is it better to go for 918 loader ? There is no 918 loader. There are only 3 available loader DS3615xs, DS3617xs and DS916+ 4 hours ago, Franzl said: c) Do i need to register @Synology with both Mac Adresses to use Video station transcoding ? No. It will not work. Registering with Synology with a fake serial number will do no good to the community. You can use other third party video packages such as Plex for example. 4 hours ago, Franzl said: d) whats about linux kernel version (3.x or 4.x) : is one of both better for using transcoding or kaby lake ?

Franzl Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted December 21, 2017 sorry , i am not an expert and already read what you have linked but not clear if DS3615xs (as you recommend) is right fo me. I want an stable software for my usecases and i am not able to understand all the topics. Also i don't like to install all my Photos , Movies again if i have to move later. So please help me What i found: CPU from DS3615XS is quite older than my one. I bought that CPU because is want to use all the new features -> for all the differences i like to know if it works Example: is DS3615XS able to work with H256 10bit ?

Franzl Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted January 1, 2018 again i have questions for Kaby Lake and transcoding: using XPENOLOGY 916 loader and install i see Linux 3.10 and braswell_916+ Synology DS918+ is nearest to my scenario using Linux 4.4 and Apollo Lake http://www.synology-forum.de/showthread.html?88172-DS218-DS718-und-DS918-veröffentlicht/page6 Using 916 loader i came to a good result (many thanks to all developers) . All features are running but only minimal support for transcoding. But my CPU has more capabilities !!!!!!!!!!! Is there any change to reach same status as DS918 on XPENOLOGY (Linux 4.4 , Full Apollo Lake support) ? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franzl Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted January 2, 2018 serial no is valid ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polanskiman Posted January 3, 2018 Share #10 Posted January 3, 2018 serial no is valid !You generated the serial number with the serial generator right? Then it’s invalid. If you got your serial from a genuine 916+ Synology box then it’s valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franzl Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted January 3, 2018 no, it's valid (genuine) one can you please check if this is root cause for my topic ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franzl Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted January 5, 2018 @Polanskiman: sorry fo rmy persistenty but HW-Transcoding is most important feature for me and i still have no solution. Will there be a loader for DS918+ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be a loader for DS918+ ? I think I already answered that question in a way above. I am not the developper of the loader so I can't answer that question definitively. But since you ask me I would say no unless the developper suddenly changes his mind or that a new developper comes up with a loader for DS918+. However I think DS916+ already does hardware transcoding so not sure why you would want DS918+. Each loader that comes out means maintaining that loader, adding and compiling modules, support for that loader etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franzl Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share #14 Posted January 5, 2018 i am ok with 916 loader if it works but using this i still only got 3 codecs activated. My cpu has 14 ! i was asking you as you are the only who answeres my questions here (many thanks for that) I read a lot and found many indicators looking like DS918+ (4.4 Linux, Instructionset extensions SSE4.1/4.2 , Kaby lake support) What is future of XPENOLOGY ? Will there be a support for Kaby lake and latest features ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be a support for Kaby lake and latest features ? I think @polankisman has answered both of these questions along with the FAQ recommendation If you are 'desperate' for the full transcoding features then either invest in a real DS918+ or maybe look at a similar 'freeware NAS' system that might use the same kernel and features - not sure but Open Media Vault may use the 4 kernel?
