DS214Play support

[bossindelebile]

sorry for the unusual question, is it possible to have i686 support for installing the DS214play model? or a way to compile myself something compatible with it? Thanks in advance.

You can refer to

https://github.com/wjz304/arpl-addons

https://github.com/wjz304/arpl-modules

But if you don't have a programming foundation, give up,

no, I'm not a programmer, I'm the closest thing to a geek, mainly electronic. anyway thanks for the useful links, I'll give it a couple of tries anyway. actually I already have an Xpenology NAS based on Asrock j5005 with ARPL, DS3622xs+ and I'm fine with it. my very first NAS is based on a laptop motherboard with Z520 CPU and with Nanocore X86 and DSM 5.0 it still manages to have its say for small jobs, I can stream my movies with 4k plex despite the 100 lan. of course I only do this for fun. In your experience, broadly what would be the fundamental steps to follow to achieve my goal? should I settle for installing DSM6.2.4 by modifying and implementing a Jun's Loader or aiming for DSM 7 by modifying ARPL? Thanks again for the support.

1. You need to compile lkm for the corresponding model,
   reference:
   https://github.com/wjz304/redpill-lkm/blob/master/config/platforms.h
   You can search for "DS918+" to replace it

2. You need to compile plugins and drivers for the corresponding platform
   reference:
   https://github.com/wjz304/arpl-addons/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml
   https://github.com/wjz304/arpl-modules/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml
   You can search for "DS918+" to replace it

3. Write the corresponding model's config.
   Arpl reference:
   https://github.com/wjz304/arpl-i18n/blob/main/files/board/arpl/overlayfs/opt/arpl/model-configs/DS920%2B.yml
   Jun‘s reference:
   https://github.com/wjz304/redpill-load/blob/main/config/configs.json

PS:
The first step is very simple during compilation, but it is difficult to troubleshoot kernel crashes,
The subsequent process is relatively simple.

Referring to models with the same kernel version will make it easier for them, and DS918+ may not be the best reference
