Debian on Synology DS115j
April 17, 2021 06:52PM
I'm coming from https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32146 here.

I have a DS115j which I'd like to install debian on, all I'm missing is the dtb for it.
It's using the Armada 370, so the dtb for the DS213j should be very similar.
I'd like to try creating a dtb myself, but I can't find any dts source files which I could get clues from, nor do I reall know if and how I could get a dtb from original firmware (probably not).
Decompiling the DS213j gave me a very complicated looking dts, which I don't know if I can really work with, I'm a newbie :/

Any help in getting / making a dtb for the DS115j would be very appreciated.

Thank you!

What you should do is:

- Connect serial console
- Power up, Interrupt serial console and

printenv
help


- And then boot all the way into stock OS

boot


- Copy the entire serial bootlog after you have booted into stock OS. And post here.

The ds213j and dds115j use the same SoC. But the details (GPIOs, other HW like sensor, fan..) might be different.

I could create an intial DTS so you can use to boot the box, but the rest of the works depends on how much HW information you can gather (either by googling or getting the GPL source code from Synology).

As always, I might not have time to do a whole lot after the initial DTS. So it will be a long process. The more information you have and the more you can actively collaborate with me, the faster it will go. But since I'm helping multiple boards in the forum, I'll go back and forth between different topics.

Re: Debian on Synology DS115j
April 20, 2021 12:13PM
I have meanwhile had luck booting debian.

I found the DS213j dts, and made a rudimentary port to DS115j:

 * were delivered with an older version of u-boot that left internal
 * registers mapped at 0xd0000000. If you have such a device you will
 * not be able to directly boot a kernel based on this Device Tree. In
 * that case, the preferred solution is to update your bootloader (e.g.
 * by upgrading to latest version of DSM, or building a new one and

The Synology source code had good clues for this.

I've followed the guide to a HDD rootfs for the DS116: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,76314,113639#msg-113639
The only modifications I had to make were to the boot commands, the DS115j u-boot doesn't contain the scsi command, so I had to replace 'scsi' with 'ide' and 'scsi init' with 'ide reset' which successfully spun up the drive and loaded the uImage from it.
There's also no 'bootspi' command defined but I've got yet to figure that out since I'm not really planning to boot into the stock OS from flash (and the dts specifically warning you from making changes to the default u-boot environment, as they get written directly into a uImage in flash).

running
setenv load_image_addr 0x02000000
setenv load_initrd_addr 0x3000000
setenv load_image 'echo loading uImage from raw HDD ...; ide device 0; ide read $load_image_addr 0x5000 0x2F00'
setenv load_initrd 'echo loading uInitrd from raw HDD ...; ide device 0; ide read $load_initrd_addr 0xA000 0x4F00'
setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial"'
setenv bootcmd_exec 'echo Booting Debian ...; run set_bootargs; setenv fdt_skip_update yes; setenv initrd_high 0xffffffff; run load_image; run load_initrd; bootm $load_image_addr $load_initrd_addr'
setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; run bootcmd_exec;'

- what works:

  • Fan control
  • LED and beeper control trough ttyS1, just like stock firmware
  • synology:disk:amber LED as defined in dts
  • USB

- what doesn't work / is untested / isn't implemented yet

  • Network (interface comes up but DHCP fails, haven't tested static IPs yet)
  • Buttons (will have to figure out GPIO)
  • RTC module (untested)
  • Network activity LED (will blink as usual in u-boot but stays static once in debian)
  • Everything I haven't tested yet should be considered untested

deelan,

Cool! That's quite complete. The rest are easy.

- Network (interface comes up but DHCP fails, haven't tested static IPs yet)

Try setting the system clock to a sane value and DHCP again.

- RTC module (untested)

[    5.032336][    T1] rtc-s35390a 0-0030: error resetting chip
[    5.041238][    T1] rtc-s35390a: probe of 0-0030 failed with error -5

See if a different RTC chip is used.
