Guide to essential vanilla modules for console addon to work in DSM 7.2

[PeterSuh-Q3]

Starting with mdio.ko you pointed out, I checked more modules for missing dependencies.
Most of them were modules that had to be imported from vanilla modules.
mdio had 4 nics and dependencies
Six vanilla modules for fabio's console addon to work were missing on the two platforms below.

cfbcopyarea.ko
cfbfillrect.ko
cfbimgblt.ko
fb.ko
fb_sys_fops.ko
fbdev.ko

After applying this module, the console (cgetty of M Shell) works normally.

Thank you for sharing
arpl's modules.tgz is directly decompressed to /usr/lib/modules/ of rd.gz, so what already exists in rd.gz does not actually need to be included in modules.tgz

[wjz304]

Oh, I seem to have misread it. them're not in rd.gz

[PeterSuh-Q3]

Could you please share with me the command to check dependencies like above?

[wjz304]

workspace=$PWD
for M in `ls ${workspace}`; do
  depends=(`modinfo "${workspace}/${M}" | grep depends: | awk -F: '{print $2}' | awk '$1=$1' | sed 's/,/ /g'`)
  if [ ${#depends[*]} -gt 0 ]; then
    for k in ${depends[@]}; do
      [ ! -f "${workspace}/${k}" ] && echo "[W] '${M}' depends '${k}' does not exist" 
    done
  fi
done

thank you I made some adjustments to make it usable in the Github Codespaces Ubuntu terminal environment.
It works fine.

yes, there are some differences between different platforms, and some dependencies are not easy to solve
