theliquid,

Yes, it should work fine. Your arcNumber is 2998 which is the Dockstar's. And that what's Jeff's script set to during installation. But as always, pls backup your kernel files or the rootfs before installing the kernel.

Ok, thank you.
I'll try it tomorrow. I need to be more careful with this device, because it is very important in my LAN. I'll report back if it worked then.

Nvm, I started with flashing the kernel and it works like a charm.

Hello,

i have the NSA325 and with your help i can run debian on it. Nice work. But i miss the acpi-featured, because i want to use pm-suspend. It is possible that the current kernel doesn't support it?
What i have todo to get acpi working?

gabor

gabor ,

Yes. That was intentional. I did not include the PM option because most people running these plugs as NAS (where only the HDD sleeps), and some running RAIDs (where PM would potentially causes big problem).

I'm not sure how many modules you will need to do this. But you could try to compile them using the kernel headers.

I would compile new kernel to include this feature, if I can figure out how not to include pm directly in the kernel, so that it will not be activated automatically. Can you research this info?

Hello Bodhi,

thanks for your answer. I would try to compile the kernel for myself, but this would be the first time for me. I think i will need some help. Did i need some patches?
Can i clone the config from the current kernel?
Did i have to write a new uboot?
Can you gibe me an short summary, what i need to do.

thanks a lot

gabor

I'll try to summarize how I do it

0. Ensure you have a cross-compiling system (I use CodeSourcery, but any will do)
1. Download and extract kernel sources (3.14.3 works fine)
2. download Bodhi's patches (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096)
3. apply patches (inside kernel tree: patch -p1 < path-to/linux-3.14.0-tld-2-kirkwood.patch )
4. patch should already contain a working .config, but in case you can use config-3.14-kirkwood-tld-2
5. make menuconfig - ensure CONFIG_MACH_NSA325=y (IIRC it wasn't, but I could be wrong!)
6. make -j8 uImage (adjust 8 to number of cpu/cores you have on building machine)
7. copy resulting uImage (arch/arm/boot/uImage in kernel tree) to your boot partition (usb ?)
8. adjust u-boot (stock works) bootargs if needed.

HTH!

FYI

I've removed kernel linux-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-2 temporarily. If you have the NSAxxx then please use kernel linux-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1. If you're running kernel linux-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-2 on other boxes then there is no need to downgrade.

Hello bodhi,

each kernel i have tried to compile, i get the same error message:

arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/built-in.o: In function `kirkwood_init':
netgear_ms2110-setup.c:(.init.text+0x9b4): undefined reference to `kirkwood_pm_init'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
make: Target `uImage' not remade because of errors.

did you have an idea wahts wrong here?
How can I solve this compile-error?

thanks gabor

gabor,

add CONFIG_PM

obj-$(CONFIG_PM)    += pm.o

to

/usr/src/linux-3.14/arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/Makefile

Then do make oldconfig to select it.

Hi Bodhi.

I would thanks for Your continuous work for GoFlex Net ! :)

May I use your Debian zip for an open-source project?
This project is a voip Asterisk (kind of soft PBX)

It would be used as a chroot Debian base.

Your image fresh and size is small. Would be excellent as Debian base for us.

Regards, Robert

I would be interested in this project as well for my NSA325.If Bodhi doesnt mind you using his debian build as a base. :)

Hi Bodhi,
you work is really great. I want to extend the functionality of the rtc within the nsa325 in order to enable wake up alarm of the rtc.
But i'mfailing to install the compiled kernel module with the dmesg "rtc_pcf8563: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout".
I installed the kernel "Linux version 3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1". How can i rebuild the kernel ?. Where are the sources?.
Could you please provide a step by step instruction. I read already kernel-mach.txt and kernel-dt.txt - but i failed.
Thanks

Stefnas,

The tarball has everything you need. Get the source from kernel.org, apply the patch. Or you can use the headers to compile new module.

Thanks bodhi,
I succeeded to compile and to bootthe kernel (with 3.14.5).
The original uInitrd (from your tarbal 3.14.0 succeed to load but it fails to load the rootfs on the same usb-stick. With the 3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1 kernel it succeeded).
I made also a new uInitrd file with the modules from the compiled 3.14.5 kernel but loading always fails with
## Booting image at 02000000 ...
Bad Magic Number
I tried a lof things ..... but finally i do not how to go on.....
I attached the modified script to make the uInitrd....

Stef, I think you're doing some confusion. You're trying to mix initramfs from my guide with initrd from bodhi's ?
I suggest you just take kernel sources from kernel.org, apply Bodhi's patch and then use his .config as a start.
From there, use make menuconfig and insert all the modules you need, and compile the kernel.
Then you can use his initrd image and rootfs.

PS: my instructions are to build an initramfs, not an initrd.
About 1st problem: I tested Bodhi's kernel, initrd and rootfs and they do work on same usb key, maybe you're doing smth wrong with partitions?

Speaking about init images, did anyone tried to integrate better-initramfs from https://bitbucket.org/piotrkarbowski/better-initramfs ? I was tempted, but first tests with aboriginal cross compilers got me crazy :(

You are right, i synced tpo github nsa325-mod found a lot of hints and after build a 3.14.5 kernel with bodhi's patches und bodhi's initrd the system failed to mount the root fs and i got a prompt within the rd.I thought i had to rebuild uinitrd - but did not find any scripts or descriptions. Therfore i was happy to find initramfs....
With the original kernel and initrd and rootfs from bodhi' booting from usb (left port at the back) and anything else is o.k. just replacing the kernel with 3.4.15 and the patches fails to mount the root fs. What might go wrong? Could you give a hint.
Thanks for your patience.

Stefnas,

Try regenerating the /boot/initrd-xxx.img with update-initramfs -u command, and then generate new uInitrd with mkimage command. Watch serial console if you have one connected, for any abnormal activities during rootfs mounting.

@ bodhi : I'm very grateful for your continuation and new efforts ... I'm going to install your Debian roots on my GoFlexHome so I can cobble together an OwnCloud server here at home. I'm in the process of selling our house and moving to Madison WI, but will report back on how it goes.

Again, thank you!

@davygravy,

Good to see you stopping by! interesting to hear you're using OwnCloud, but not a customized setup with LAMP?

NSA320, Linux mynas 3.13.1-kirkwood-tld-2 #1 PREEMPT Tue Feb 4 03:19:07 PST 2014 armv5tel GNU/Linux
Tuner: Bus 001 Device 014: ID 07ca:850a AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. AverTV Volar Black HD (A850)

I am not able to make my new USB tuner initialise properly, I have proper firmware files and on a standard ubuntu server with kernel 3.13 the tuner inits fine.
I wonder if it's a kernel issue:

gaogao,

Compare the output of

lsmod
lsusb

between 3.13.1-kirkwood-tld-2 and your current installtion.

Thanks for your efforts, and also again for your help over on the Oxnas thread.

I understand the rootfs also already contains the kernel (which Arch's uboot loaded just fine).

The only minor hurdle was that the original CloudEngines system's wget can't handle https and hence Dropbox, so I populated the stick on another machine.

Some things I noticed that others might find useful to read at some point.

While updating, the package manager repeatedly reports:
[code]perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_TIME = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_MONETARY = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_ADDRESS = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_TELEPHONE = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_NAME = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_MEASUREMENT = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_NUMERIC = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LC_PAPER = "de_DE.UTF-8",
LANG = "C"
are supported and installed on your system.[/code]

For setting the time zone, not sure if there was supposed to be an easier way than
echo "Europe/Berlin" >/etc/timezone
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
...and where the time server (NTP host) is to be configured (to be updated frequently as there's no hwclock on these systems, or is it?).

The syslog no longer goes into a file (e.g. messages) in /var/log but can be made visible by invoking logread.

Apparently there is no ~/.bash_history anymore either.

Also, the following package does not seem to be there by default: apt-get install less

Does /etc/crontab (there's none by default) require special permissions or additional services installed?
Can't seem to get anything executed from it even after chmod 755 like the daily etc. directories/scripts.

LIRC's irsend not working via mcusb (HP Media Center Transceiver) at first made me wonder if you have CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED & CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB enabled in this kernel as per cf. [url]http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/67492/focus=67616[/url]) - however transmitting fails silently only until the USB module is replugged from the front to the top rear port (and service lirc stopped and started again of course) - then it even seems to be more reliable than on my (also Debian) Dockstar that's just celebrated a year of uptime.

TEN,

All these behavior you've observed were intentional! I've setup this Debian rootfs as a basic Debian system. The rest are up to users who must install needed packages as they wish. Just like the debootstrap system installed by Jeff's script, and a few more tools to make it a little more convenient, but not too many extras, so that experienced users have to uninstall them, and beginners will have a chance to learn how Linux works. So you might find certain USB devices modules will not be available. The kernel only includes commonly used devices.

Hi,

@Gaogao

in your kernel log there is something like

it913x: Unknown tuner ID applying default 0x60<6>[11260.049966]

maybe the tuner of your dvb device is not identified correctly, and than
as a first guess the driver uses a default i2c adress e.g. 0x60, but can not get the tuner initialised???

and than the probing of the device fails, after the firmware is loaded,.. please have a look if
the frontend is attached, i.e. /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 exists??

and: there are timing issues with arm devices booting and initialising usb devices, I have already seen
the same driver source code of a dvb-usb device working correctly on my iConnect and NSA320 say for e.g.
kernel 3.11 or 3.13 but with 3.14 only on the iConnect everything is working and the NSA320 has difficulties
to attach the frontend, than inserting some msleep commands in the driver source code can help to get the
register settings settle before the next i2c commands are issued by the driver,

best wishes pbg4
