cdlenfert, > I also don't have either of those logs. Is there > something I need to do to get them to be created? My released rootfs (if you are running it) has busybox-syslogd running with option logging to RAM. The first step in debugging issue like this is to remove the option "logging to RAM", so that you have syslog output to /var/log/messages in the rootfs.by bodhi - Debian

Before we continue, I'd like you to remove systemd from bootargs and boot with sysvinit. init=/bin/systemd That way we have the same reference point for other users in the forum, and make it easier for late coming RS816 users to install the rootfs and kernel on this box.

@1000001101000, Thanks for sharing your experience on the a370! it's confirmed my understanding, too. @zifxify, I've reread the DTS and the SATA behavior you've observed is what it should be. There is only one active port in the DTS. And it's GPO 15. And there is no PCIe definition in there. - I need to upload a new DTS/DTB based on the DS116. - We need to finby bodhi - Debian

These are correct mtd definition.

SPI looks fine as mtds in the kernel log now. Further check: 1. Check SPI mtds dmesg | grep -i spi cat /proc/mtd 2. We need to look for where is the envs and adjust the location in /etc/fw_env.config, and then fw_printenvby bodhi - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology RS816 (Armada 385) - 5 days ago
Awesome :) Now you should double check the system specs to see if everything is what it supposed to be: RAM, CPU, SPI, RTC, sensors,...etc. The LED lights should not be difficult. We can figure out those from GPL source, or from stock OS while it is running.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology RS816 (Armada 385) - 6 days ago
zifxify, Good works :) Now we knew that the DS116 is a close cousin of this RS816. We can switch to mainline version in the rootfs Debian-4.12.4-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2. So copy that DTB to your tftp root and try that to get more accurate kernel booting log. Where the difference shows, we'll need to adjust the DTS and recompile. ./boot/dts/armada-385-synology-ds116.dtbby bodhi - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology RS816 (Armada 385) - 7 days ago
zifxify, That was a good progress to be able to boot the kernel images to that point. But it looks to me the stock DTS is probably too old. At this point, I would say we need the DTS source. It should be downloaded from Synology, or we have to make our own from the Thecus N2350 DTS.by bodhi - Debian
