Arc: Loader Usage | Update - AuxXxilium/AuxXxilium GitHub Wiki

Use Arc Loader

To use this project, download the latest Image available and 'burn' it to a USB Stick or virtual SATA Disk 0:0 in Hypervisor. Set first Bootdevice in Bios to match the Bootmedia and follow the Informations on the screen. When booting, the user can call the "arc.sh" command from the computer itself, access via SSH. You can also use the virtual Terminal (ttyd) by typing the Address provided on the Screen http://(IP):7681. The loader will automatically increase the Size of the last Partition and use the free Space as Cache.

Arc Build Loader

  • Flash image to an USB Stick or boot from .img/.vmdk in VM.
  • Boot to Arc Config Mode.
  • Enter your key in "Decrypt Arc Patch" <- only if needed and you got a key.
  • Select your Model and follow the instructions.
  • Build Loader
  • Boot Loader
  • Follow the instructions on screen.

Arc Patch Key

  • You will still be able to use everything except QC, even without Arc Patch.
  • The Key can be found in my Discord after doing the mentioned steps in #arc-read-me-first channel.
  • The Key need to be applied before you start with "Choose Model".

DSM Installation

  • DSM will be installed to all Disks in System, at first Installation or later if you create a Storage Pool!
  • It is not possible to install DSM to a specified Disk if you connect more Disks!
  • If your Installation fails with a message like "... open TCP Port 23 ..." check your Portmap.

Reboot to Arc Config Mode from inside DSM

Reboot to Arc Update Mode from inside DSM

Arc Loader Update

  • Best option is to replace the Bootmedia with the new Arc Version or you can select "Full-Upgrade Loader" in Arc Update Section. (You will loose key for hardware encryption)
  • It is possible to restore your Config in Loader, but not all Versions work with new Loader.
  • All Subversions have to be lower or equal to Arc Release. ( Arc 23.11.1 and Addons 23.10.28 -> working / Arc 23.11.1 and Addons 23.11.4 -> not working)
  • If you Update from a pre 24.2.1 Release, you need to do a DSM force Reinstall.

DSM Update

  • You can Update to every new Version of DSM until the Buildnumber will not change, without Loader Update.
