Summary description:
The released tarball linux-x.xx.x-mvebu-tld-x-bodhi.tar.bz2 includes everything you need to build your own kernel from mainline kernel source tree (patches and config file are all that needed). The kernel image is included in it for users who just want to install kernel.
The released tarball Debian-x.xx.x-mvebu-tld-xx-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 is a basic armhf rootfs (a completed Debian system with kernel already installed) for Marvell EBU (MVEBU) boxes ready to be used. It is a basic system where you can build upon by installing packages. This rootfs was created by Debian debootstrap and then a few packages were installed for user’s convenience. This rootfs is dedicated for the purpose of upgrading and release distribution.

Installation
NOTE: the following steps are for a general kernel upgrade. For initial installation, please see "Installation Instruction for specific boxes" in the thread description at the top of this release thread.
1. Backup your current zImage, uImage, and uInitrd. In the /boot directory, these are files for your current kernel (xx.xx.xx is the version number):
2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:
3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem (if flash-kernel was not installed then you'll see some error output):
4. Create uImage and uInitrd (kernel file initrd.img-6.4.11-mvebu-tld-1 was generated by dpkg in step 3). I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
5. The new uImage and uInitrd files should be created in /boot directory now.
5.a (Optional) Shrink your initramfs size.
For boxes that need to have a smaller initramfs. For example, you are trying to fit it in a limited sized NAND partition. See here for tutorial: HowTo Shrink initramfs
5.b You're ready to reboot the system:
========================================================================
Updated 02 Jun 2023:
Kernel 6.3.5-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New/Updated in this release:
Warning: PCI is broken (in mainline Linux) therefore it might be problematic (also USB 3.0 is broken only if it is on PCI bus). Also, for boxes with 4 SATA slots (2 slots are usually PCI, so 2 of the SATA slots wil not work). Please stay with kernel 6.2.8-mvebu-tld-1 for now if you need these capabilities.
- General kernel upgrade. Some code and DTS rebase were needed in the patch.
- Add support for Mavell MMP3 SoC (CONFIG_ARCH_MMP and assiocated configs).
- Add support for Dell Wyse 3020. For the latest DTB (updated after this kernel has been released, see here).
-Add CONFIG_SENSORS_W83795 for Thecus N2350
Credits:
- Thanks Mischif for doing all the testing in bringing up the Dell Wyse 3020.

2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:
3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem:
4. Create uImage and uInitrd (kernel file initrd.img-5.14.9-mvebu-tld-1 was generated by dpkg in step 3). I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
5. The new uImage and uInitrd files should be created in /boot directory now. You're ready to reboot the system:

Rootfs Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 has been uploaded.
Basic Debian bullseye armhf rootfs for most MVEBU Armada NAS:
- tarball size: 268M
- install size: 764M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see Note 5 below.
- Installed packages: openssh-server, nano, avahi, libnss-mdns, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, locales, dialog, bzip2, nfs-kernel-server, nfs-common, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, and sysvinit-utils, mtd-utils, u-boot-tools, libubootenv-tool, rsync, pmount, i2c-tools, qemu-arm-static (x86 version).
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root
Important Correction:
There was an obsolete source in /etc/apt/source.list. Please change the old security repo in the rootfs to:

And remember to check the hash of what you download, as always.
Installation:
Installation can be done on any Linux box, with a fresh USB drive (or HDD would work fine too).
Important: all steps below must be done while logging in as root user (not sudo). If you are not the root user then don't continue, because the rootfs will not work.
1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs (Ext4 might work for some MVEBU box).
2. Mount the drive on a Linux box. cd to top level directory and extract the rootfs. Assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1
3. Create uImage with DTB appended. I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
4. Adjust fstab (optional)
Edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for root device, it it is not Ext3.
5. Sync, umount, and Done.
Take this USB rootfs to your NAS and cold start. Note that from kernel version 5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1, we need to boot with uImage (as prepared by Step 3). Depending on the flavor of MVEBU boxes you have, further u-boot envs setup is needed to boot this rootfs. Instruction are provided at the top of this thread for each MVEBU box, or a group of boxes that use the same u-boot.
After booted into Debian, see Notes 1-6 below.
Note 1 (Strongly Recommended):
To keep the rootfs extremely basic and small, there is no swap space set up for it. The first thing you should do after the 1st boot is to set up a swap file to make the system run better. In fact, system upgrades oftently fail to run without swap. Please see here for instruction how to do that.
Note 2 (Optional):
The rootfs will automatically generate new SSH keys at 1st boot (see /etc/rc.local). However, if you would like to generate the keys again then do:
Note 3 (Optional):
Update your rootfs to get the latest Debian package security updates (if the installation is done at a much later date than the time of this release).
Check the system clock to make sure it is the current time (boxes without RTC is using NTP so quite slow to update the clock).
Warning: Watch the apt-get upgrade progress. If the apt-get upgrade results in a new initramfs, the log would shows this message:
Then you need to regenerate the uInitrd boot file:
Note 4 (Optional):
Some network environment is not very robust in propagating the host name advertised by avahi. If you cannot find the host name of this rootfs in your network, you might need to install libnss-mdns.
Note 5 (Optional):
To boot with systemd, add parameter init=/bin/systemd to your u-boot env bootargs (beware that in later Debian distribution, the location of systemd binary might have changed).
- For example,
If that's still not possible to run systemd, you might want to install it again:
Note 6 (Optional):
To enable the network dynamic IP to stay consistent after each reboot, and also for faster boot. In this rootfs, a script is executed during kernel booting (in /etc/rc.local), to detect if a local MAC address was assigned during boot, and then set the persistent MAC address to what is currently defined in u-boot env ethaddr.
To keep using the kernel generated local MAC address (if local MAC address was generated in your box) then remove or rename this script.

Summary description:
The released tarball linux-x.xx.x-mvebu-tld-x-bodhi.tar.bz2 includes everything you need to build your own kernel from mainline kernel source tree (patches and config file are all that needed). The kernel image is included in it for users who just want to install kernel.
The released tarball Debian-x.xx.x-mvebu-tld-xx-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 is a basic armhf rootfs (a completed Debian system with kernel already installed) for Marvell EBU (MVEBU) boxes ready to be used. It is a basic system where you can build upon by installing packages. This rootfs was created by Debian debootstrap and then a few packages were installed for user’s convenience. This rootfs is dedicated for the purpose of upgrading and release distribution.

2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:
cd /boot tar -xjf linux-6.4.11-mvebu-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 tar -xf linux-dtb-6.4.11-mvebu-tld-1.tar
3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem (if flash-kernel was not installed then you'll see some error output):
cd /boot apt-get remove flash-kernel dpkg -i linux-image-6.4.11-mvebu-tld-1_1_armhf.deb
4. Create uImage and uInitrd (kernel file initrd.img-6.4.11-mvebu-tld-1 was generated by dpkg in step 3). I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.

========================================================================
Updated 02 Jun 2023:
Kernel 6.3.5-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New/Updated in this release:
Warning: PCI is broken (in mainline Linux) therefore it might be problematic (also USB 3.0 is broken only if it is on PCI bus). Also, for boxes with 4 SATA slots (2 slots are usually PCI, so 2 of the SATA slots wil not work). Please stay with kernel 6.2.8-mvebu-tld-1 for now if you need these capabilities.
- General kernel upgrade. Some code and DTS rebase were needed in the patch.
- Add support for Mavell MMP3 SoC (CONFIG_ARCH_MMP and assiocated configs).
- Add support for Dell Wyse 3020. For the latest DTB (updated after this kernel has been released, see here).
-Add CONFIG_SENSORS_W83795 for Thecus N2350
Credits:
- Thanks Mischif for doing all the testing in bringing up the Dell Wyse 3020.

Installation
NOTE: the following steps are for a general kernel upgrade. For initial installation, please see "Installation Instruction for specific boxes" in the thread description at the top of this release thread.
1. Backup your current zImage, uImage, and uInitrd. In the /boot directory, these are files for your current kernel (xx.xx.xx is the version number):
uInitrd uImage zImage-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx initrd.img-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx System.map-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx vmlinuz-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx config-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx dts/
2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:
cd /boot tar -xjf linux-5.14.9-mvebu-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 tar -xf linux-dtb-5.14.9-mvebu-tld-1.tar
3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem:
cd /boot apt-get remove flash-kernel dpkg -i linux-image-5.14.9-mvebu-tld-1_1.0_armhf.deb
4. Create uImage and uInitrd (kernel file initrd.img-5.14.9-mvebu-tld-1 was generated by dpkg in step 3). I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
cd /boot
cp -a zImage-5.14.9-mvebu-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.14.9-mvebu-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage

Updated 28 Sept 2021:
Rootfs Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 has been uploaded.
Basic Debian bullseye armhf rootfs for most MVEBU Armada NAS:
- tarball size: 268M
- install size: 764M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see Note 5 below.
- Installed packages: openssh-server, nano, avahi, libnss-mdns, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, locales, dialog, bzip2, nfs-kernel-server, nfs-common, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, and sysvinit-utils, mtd-utils, u-boot-tools, libubootenv-tool, rsync, pmount, i2c-tools, qemu-arm-static (x86 version).
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root
Important Correction:
There was an obsolete source in /etc/apt/source.list. Please change the old security repo in the rootfs to:
deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

And remember to check the hash of what you download, as always.
Installation:
Installation can be done on any Linux box, with a fresh USB drive (or HDD would work fine too).
Important: all steps below must be done while logging in as root user (not sudo). If you are not the root user then don't continue, because the rootfs will not work.
1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs (Ext4 might work for some MVEBU box).
2. Mount the drive on a Linux box. cd to top level directory and extract the rootfs. Assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1
cd /media/sdb1 tar -xjf Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
3. Create uImage with DTB appended. I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
4. Adjust fstab (optional)
Edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for root device, it it is not Ext3.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> LABEL=rootfs / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
5. Sync, umount, and Done.
sync sync umount /media/sdb1
Take this USB rootfs to your NAS and cold start. Note that from kernel version 5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1, we need to boot with uImage (as prepared by Step 3). Depending on the flavor of MVEBU boxes you have, further u-boot envs setup is needed to boot this rootfs. Instruction are provided at the top of this thread for each MVEBU box, or a group of boxes that use the same u-boot.
After booted into Debian, see Notes 1-6 below.
Note 1 (Strongly Recommended):
To keep the rootfs extremely basic and small, there is no swap space set up for it. The first thing you should do after the 1st boot is to set up a swap file to make the system run better. In fact, system upgrades oftently fail to run without swap. Please see here for instruction how to do that.
Note 2 (Optional):
The rootfs will automatically generate new SSH keys at 1st boot (see /etc/rc.local). However, if you would like to generate the keys again then do:
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host* ssh-keygen -A
Note 3 (Optional):
Update your rootfs to get the latest Debian package security updates (if the installation is done at a much later date than the time of this release).
Check the system clock to make sure it is the current time (boxes without RTC is using NTP so quite slow to update the clock).
dateAnd upgrade
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Warning: Watch the apt-get upgrade progress. If the apt-get upgrade results in a new initramfs, the log would shows this message:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1
Then you need to regenerate the uInitrd boot file:
cd /boot mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs 5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1 -d initrd.img-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1 uInitrd
Note 4 (Optional):
Some network environment is not very robust in propagating the host name advertised by avahi. If you cannot find the host name of this rootfs in your network, you might need to install libnss-mdns.
apt-get install libnss-mdns
Note 5 (Optional):
To boot with systemd, add parameter init=/bin/systemd to your u-boot env bootargs (beware that in later Debian distribution, the location of systemd binary might have changed).
- For example,
fw_setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts init=/bin/systemd'
If that's still not possible to run systemd, you might want to install it again:
apt-get install systemd
Note 6 (Optional):
To enable the network dynamic IP to stay consistent after each reboot, and also for faster boot. In this rootfs, a script is executed during kernel booting (in /etc/rc.local), to detect if a local MAC address was assigned during boot, and then set the persistent MAC address to what is currently defined in u-boot env ethaddr.
/root/set_persistent_mac_address
To keep using the kernel generated local MAC address (if local MAC address was generated in your box) then remove or rename this script.

Installation
NOTE: the following steps are for a general kernel upgrade. For initial installation, please see "Installation Instruction for specific boxes" in the thread description at the top of this release thread.
1. Backup your current zImage, uImage, and uInitrd. In the /boot directory, these are files for your current kernel (xx.xx.xx is the version number):
2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:
3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem:
4. Create uImage and uInitrd (kernel file initrd.img-5.7.6-mvebu-tld-1 was generated by dpkg in step 3). I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
5. The new uImage and uInitrd files should be created in /boot directory now. You're ready to reboot the system:
=========================
Updated 05 May 2020:

Kernel linux-5.3.5-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New in this release:
- Add supports for Linksys WRT1900AC v1
Credits:
- Thanks fsonnlei for all the works in testing to bring up the Linksys WRT1900AC box.
Important Note for all boxes: The new kernel zImage has increased in size significantly that it will no longer work to be used in booting with the Marvell u-boot typically installed in these Armada boxes. To make it more resilient (avoid messing with u-boot envs again when the kernel image size increases), we need to boot with uImage. Please see this post for an example how to adjust u-boot envs using the Thecus N2350, and see the updated NAS326 Installation Instruction Section E for another example.

New in this release:
- Keep MTD and NAND drivers as builtin kernel drivers (to overcome a mainline kernel regression for MTD and NAND).
- Pickup security patches from mainline.
Important Note for all boxes: The new kernel zImage has increased in size significantly that it will no longer work to be used in booting with the Marvell u-boot typically installed in these Armada boxes. To make it more resilient (avoid messing with u-boot envs again when the kernel image size increases), from this kernel version, we need to boot with uImage.

Updated 15 June 2019:
Kernel linux-5.1.7-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New in this release:
- Pick up mainline fix for SSD and Device Mapper Data Loss bug previously in earlier kernel 5.1.x.
- Updated armada-385-synology-rs816.dtb
Note only for the Synology RS816: The rootfs Debian-4.12.4-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 has kernel 4.12.4-mvebu-tld-1 in it so it must be upgraded to kernel linux-5.1.7-mvebu-tld-1 before it can be used for this box. This kernel upgrade can be done offline using chroot. Also, I plan to release new Buster rootfs with the latest kernel in a few weeks, so users who wish to install Debian on this box can also wait until that time. Or wait for chroot instruction (if not sure how) that I'd planned to add to the Wiki thread.

Kernel linux-4.18.5-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New in this release:
- Add Dell Wyse T50/T10 supports. Installation instruction for this box will be available in the future. Note: we are still working on Display and Sound. This box should be stable as headless server.
- Upgraded the DTS to incorporated new DTS binding for Armada NAND chip.
Warning: there was an important change that has effected how the NAND MTDs being recognized by the kernel. If you are upgrading kernel only, you will loose the ability to see the MTDs, therefore access to u-boot envs (except for boxes that has u-boot in SPI flash). The mtdparts env must be modified to use the new label. Installation instruction for these support boxes should be revised: NAS326, WD EX2100/EX4100, Thecus N2350, and Dell Wyse T50/T10. Please see this post.
Credits:
- Thanks to Koen who has contributed in developing, research, and testing in bringing up the Dell Wyse T50/T10 box in
Debian on Dell Wyse T10 / T50. Also thanks Bob and rayknight for helping in testing this box.

Installation:
Installation can be done on any Linux box, with a fresh USB drive (SD card or HDD would work fine too).
Important: all steps below must be done while logging in as root user (not sudo). If you are not the root user then don't continue, because the rootfs will not work.
1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs.
2. Mount the drive on a Linux box. cd to top level directory and extract the rootfs. Assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1
3. Adjust fstab.
Edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for /dev/root.
4. Sync, umount, and Done.
Take this USB rootfs to your NAS and cold start. Depending on the flavor of MVEBU boxes you have, further u-boot envs setup is needed to boot this rootfs. Instruction will be provided here for each MVEBU box, or a group of boxes that use the same u-boot.
After booted into Debian, see Note1 and Note2 below. It is very important that you do Note1 steps to secure your box.
Note1:
After logging in this rootf the first time, remember to generate new SSH key to make it your own unique rootfs. And also update your rootfs to get the latest Debian package security updates:
Note2:
To boot with systemd, add this parameter to your u-boot env bootargs:
If that's still not possible to run systemd, you might want to install it again:

Installation
NOTE: the following steps are for a general kernel upgrade. For initial installation, please see "Installation Instruction for specific boxes" in the thread description at the top of this release thread.
1. Backup your current zImage, uImage, and uInitrd. In the /boot directory, these are files for your current kernel (xx.xx.xx is the version number):
uInitrd uImage zImage-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx initrd.img-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx System.map-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx vmlinuz-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx config-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx dts/
2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:
cd /boot tar -xjf linux-5.12.6-mvebu-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 tar -xf linux-dtb-5.12.6-mvebu-tld-1.tar
3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem:
cd /boot apt-get remove flash-kernel dpkg -i linux-image-5.12.6-mvebu-tld-1_1.0_armhf.deb
4. Create uImage and uInitrd (kernel file initrd.img-5.12.6-mvebu-tld-1 was generated by dpkg in step 3). I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
cd /boot
cp -a zImage-5.12.6-mvebu-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb >> zImage.fdt

Kernel linux-5.3.5-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New in this release:
- Add supports for Linksys WRT1900AC v1
Credits:
- Thanks fsonnlei for all the works in testing to bring up the Linksys WRT1900AC box.
Important Note for all boxes: The new kernel zImage has increased in size significantly that it will no longer work to be used in booting with the Marvell u-boot typically installed in these Armada boxes. To make it more resilient (avoid messing with u-boot envs again when the kernel image size increases), we need to boot with uImage. Please see this post for an example how to adjust u-boot envs using the Thecus N2350, and see the updated NAS326 Installation Instruction Section E for another example.

1. Backup your current zImage, uImage, and uInitrd. In the /boot directory, these are files for your current kernel (xx.xx.xx is the version number):
uInitrd uImage zImage-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx initrd.img-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx System.map-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx vmlinuz-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx config-xx.xx.xx-mvebu-xxx dts/
2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:
cd /boot tar -xjf linux-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 tar -xf linux-dtb-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1.tar
3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem:
cd /boot apt-get remove flash-kernel dpkg -i linux-image-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1_1.0_armhf.deb
4. Create uImage and uInitrd (kernel file initrd.img-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1 was generated by dpkg in step 3). I am using the Zyxel NAS326 as an example here. Please replace armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb below with the appropriate DTB name for your box.
cd /boot cp -a zImage-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1 zImage.fdt cat dts/armada-380-zyxel-nas326.dtb >> zImage.fdt mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1 -d initrd.img-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1 uInitrd
5. The new uImage and uInitrd files should be created in /boot directory now. You're ready to reboot the system:

Updated 15 June 2019:
Kernel linux-5.1.7-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New in this release:
- Pick up mainline fix for SSD and Device Mapper Data Loss bug previously in earlier kernel 5.1.x.
- Updated armada-385-synology-rs816.dtb
Note only for the Synology RS816: The rootfs Debian-4.12.4-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 has kernel 4.12.4-mvebu-tld-1 in it so it must be upgraded to kernel linux-5.1.7-mvebu-tld-1 before it can be used for this box. This kernel upgrade can be done offline using chroot. Also, I plan to release new Buster rootfs with the latest kernel in a few weeks, so users who wish to install Debian on this box can also wait until that time. Or wait for chroot instruction (if not sure how) that I'd planned to add to the Wiki thread.

Kernel linux-5.1.2-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New in this release:
- Add supports for Synology RS816.

Kernel linux-4.18.5-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded.
New in this release:
- Add Dell Wyse T50/T10 supports. Installation instruction for this box will be available in the future. Note: we are still working on Display and Sound. This box should be stable as headless server.
- Upgraded the DTS to incorporated new DTS binding for Armada NAND chip.
Warning: there was an important change that has effected how the NAND MTDs being recognized by the kernel. If you are upgrading kernel only, you will loose the ability to see the MTDs, therefore access to u-boot envs (except for boxes that has u-boot in SPI flash). The mtdparts env must be modified to use the new label. Installation instruction for these support boxes should be revised: NAS326, WD EX2100/EX4100, Thecus N2350, and Dell Wyse T50/T10. Please see this post.
Credits:
- Thanks to Koen who has contributed in developing, research, and testing in bringing up the Dell Wyse T50/T10 box in
Debian on Dell Wyse T10 / T50. Also thanks Bob and rayknight for helping in testing this box.

Updated 04 Feb 2017:
This Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 has been uploaded.
Basic Debian jessie armhf rootfs for most MVEBU Armada NAS:
- tarball size: 160M
- install size: 554M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: openssh-server, nano, avahi, libnss-mdns, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, locales, dialog, bzip2, nfs-kernel-server, nfs-common, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, and sysvinit-utils, mtd-utils, u-boot-tools, rsync, pmount, i2c-tools, qemu-arm-static.

And remember to check the hash of what you download, as always.
Installation:
Installation can be done on any Linux box, with a fresh USB drive (SD card or HDD would work fine too).
Important: all steps below must be done while logging in as root user (not sudo). If you are not the root user then don't continue, because the rootfs will not work.
1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs.
2. Mount the drive on a Linux box. cd to top level directory and extract the rootfs. Assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1
cd /media/sdb1 tar -xjf Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 cd /media/sdb1/boot cp -a zImage-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12 zImage
3. Adjust fstab.
Edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for /dev/root.
/dev/root / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
4. Sync, umount, and Done.
sync sync umount /media/sdb1
Take this USB rootfs to your NAS and cold start. Depending on the flavor of MVEBU boxes you have, further u-boot envs setup is needed to boot this rootfs. Instruction will be provided here for each MVEBU box, or a group of boxes that use the same u-boot.
After booted into Debian, see Note1 and Note2 below. It is very important that you do Note1 steps to secure your box.
Note1:
After logging in this rootf the first time, remember to generate new SSH key to make it your own unique rootfs. And also update your rootfs to get the latest Debian package security updates:
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host* ssh-keygen -A apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Note2:
To boot with systemd, add this parameter to your u-boot env bootargs:
init=/bin/systemdFor example,
fw_setenv usb_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial init=/bin/systemd"'
If that's still not possible to run systemd, you might want to install it again:
apt-get install systemd

Hi bodhi,
am i right that this kernel and rootfs could fit my WD MyCloud EX 4100 as it has an Marvell Armada 380/381/382/385/388 (Device Tree).
cat /proc/version gives me the folliwing information
and cat /proc/cpuinfo gives me the following information
There is already someone who attempted to create a debian port for this device on this thread https://community.wd.com/t/clean-os-debian-openmediavault-and-other-firmwares/93714/1290
From this guy there are already files available there https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_6OlQ_H0PxVVGdTRGl0RmRabVU
but unfortunately there are instructions missing and i am not able to figure out how to use those files securely without problems.
I would like to have this device booting the rootfs from an usb pen drive without touching the original firmware if possible but i am not fit enough to figure out what information is needed and how to get them.
Maybe you could point me in the right direction or let me know what information you need to verify that this device would work with your kernel and rootfs.
Unfortunately the original firmware has only a limited busybox available via ssh but i can sftp to the box for further investigation if needed.

Yes, most definitely will boot with my released basic rootfs (I looked at this box specs before). You just need to choose the correct DTB in /boot/dts/. And then adjust the env for dtb in serial console. Test boot that adjustment without saving envs. Once you have booted into Debian and verified everything works, then save the env with fw_setenv.
If you cant find the exact DTB for EX4100 in /boot/dts, please list more info about this WD such as : USBs, HDDs, ethenet LAN chip model, I2C, SPI, RAM size, boot log, ... we can figure this out together.

bodhi,
sounds good so far.
Could you "read" from the DTS if this box can be bootet from usb?
At the moment i have no serial console access to this box and havent yet figured out if and where there is a serial connector.
To switch the boot mode serial console access is needed, right?
Or could i change env data without serial console access?
I know about there was a way for the nsa325v2 where you have to put some files on a pen drive and boot from that to switch env settings.

This is a new box so you need serial console, to be safe. We dont know what commands this stock uboot supports. So it is unwise to change any of the envs in Linux to boot usb. Serial console is a must have.

Hello.
I try to install the debian to usb. And after the reboot my NAS not boot. USB sometimes blinking but i can't access to my NAS. When I remove the usb and reboot it starts with orginal OS. I don't have TTL interface to look at the bootlog. I created the ext3 partition labeled "rootfs" on the usb and extracted the image Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2. So i have question. I connect USB to the front panel port it is good?

The Zyxel NAS326 went on sale this past week. The price cut was good enough that I'm guessing this forum will see more activity soon. I've landed here in my own search for better control of the device I just bought.
I read quite a bit of both threads and getting this working was quite the journey!
Also, OpenMediaVault has become popular. It has a web interface much like the one in stock Zyxel firmware. Since bodhi's MVEBU kernal comes with Debian, is it possible to install this and then just install the OpenMediaVault packages?
Thanks!

Good news! Where is this on sale?
I have not kept up for this box, because I did not see a lot of interests. It still costs way more than the older plugs.

Yes. That's what a lot of people do. Once you run the latest kernel in Debian, it is easy to run OMV.

Just gave it a try. I'm not sure if it's my USB flash drive, or the hardware issues I'm having my Ubuntu laptop.. But I don't trust either one of them now, so I have a couple more USB drives on order from Amazon... One to create a Live USB on my Windows desktop, which I'll then use to prepare the 4.10.9 MVEBU package on the other.
Fortunately for your env trick, I can just take the stick out and boot back into Zyxel NAND. But the problem I'm having is that the firmware is reset every time it reboots. I have to create a new password and enable SSH every time. Also, all my users and settings disappear every time. Until I get the new USB drives, is there a way to stop it from resetting the firmware every time? It also now sometimes crashes on boot (all lights on the front panel go out).
Edit: NAS326 firmware is 5.21 on this one.

Let me take a look at the envs. It might be that there is one more env needed to be set to get back totally on stock behavior. The current setup is mainly so that it stock NAND can be used as rescue system, so it is just "working well enough" to do that.
Since we can't boot with kwboot yet, I'm extra careful about changing it. I have to test it thoroughly before modifying the instruction.

I don't have a serial cable, so I used your B1.Installation method onwards.
The firmware reset itself overnight again, so I had to enable SSH again, and here is the output of printenv:
As part of your instruction set in the B section, you recommended printenv after making changes. I did that and saved to notepad as follows:

nastynas,
To run stock OS permanently:
Later, when you want to run Debian just set it up again using section B.
Note that section C4 can be done in stock OS, too.
- Check your u-boot envs is working the same way:
Does it look the same as before?
- If the output looks good, proceed to do section C4.

C4. Reverse to stock OS permanently
To reverse the setup, and boot back to stock NAND kernel permanently, execute the following instructions at the Debian command line:

@saschadd,
What is the EX4100 fan behavior in u-boot? does it spin at nomal speed?
And how about inside stock OS? does it spin slower, and is there a fan control tool that you can run in the Web interface or at command line?
