To flash the controller with the correct firmware, you must have access to a Windows machine.
⚠️ Do NOT use version241224-0000-00!With this version, starting the VM in Proxmox will hang indefinitely. The VM start command never completes, and you're forced to hard reset the Proxmox host. This is also the version reporting 32 SATA Devices instead of 6.
With its latest reales qemu added the Venus patches so that virtio-gpu now support venus encapsulation for vulkan. This is one more piece to the puzzle towards full Vulkan support.
An outdated blog post on clollabora described in 2021 how to enable 3D acceleration of Vulkan applications in QEMU through the Venus experimental Vulkan driver for VirtIO-GPU with a local development environment. Following up on the outdated write up, this is how its done today.
Let's start with the brief description of the projects mentioned in the post & extend them:
I've noticed RX packet drops on my PCI card (InDroppedDma was too high). I suspected that it was because of a firmware problem, so I decided to try to find a way to update it.
There was no official linux firmware updater, however I found an unofficial one published some time ago, which worked well when combined with the latest firmware.
Use at your own risk, however I didn't experience any problems.
The following is a quick guide on getting basic status LED functionality working with TrueNAS running on the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus. Theoretically, it should work on all models (with some small revisions to the script), but I only have a DXP4800 Plus. :)
This guide is for cron job that runs a script to update the LEDs every couple minutes, but I'm sure the following can be modified for blinky LEDs as well.
| #!/usr/bin/python3 | |
| # Usage: 'backup' alone will back the system up | |
| # 'backup ARGS' will run borg with ARGS, configuring repository location, passphrase etc. | |
| # e.g., 'backup list ::' will list backups in the repository | |
| # Goals: run on RHEL 8's default Python interpreter (3.6) with no non-RHEL packages required | |
| # Non-goals: backing up multiple filesystems, any configurability save modifying values set | |
| # in code. |
aka what i did to get from nothing to done.
note: these are designed to be primarily a re-install guide for myself (writing things down helps me memorize the knowledge), as such don't take any of this on blind faith - some areas are well tested and the docs are very robust, some items, less so). YMMV

Many QNAP NAS devices only come with 1Gbe network interfaces. These devices can easily benefit from a simple network upgrade by connecting the ubiquitious 2.5Gbe USB NICs from Realtek. Unfortunately, some of the older QNAP NAS systems do not support the newer r8156 based 2.5Gbe NICs or r8157 based 5Gbe NICs as they run an older 4.x linux kernel and the r8152 source files included with the older linux kernel are based off an older codebase that predates the 8156/8157 series.
With some elbow grease however, we can build support for the 2.5 & 5 Gbe adapters and easily upgrade functionality.
