Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 28 days ago

Thanks for the updated DTS/DTB file. I've built the DTB from your DTS file, but no luck. $ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make -j4 dtbs DTC arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/armada-375-synology-ds215j_v20251110_bodhi.dtb Booting up Debian on the DS215j gives the same results as before. root@(none):~# cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12by ZooMoo - Debian

Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 4 months ago
Synology are using rc-scripts to do (some of?) the magic. Just focusing on the USB problem, in the DSM it uses RC scripts to load the usb related kernel modules. In the DSM kernel logs it has the following message regarding USB that the Debian kernel does not have. START /linuxrc.syno Insert basic USB modules...

Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 4 months ago
The above problem is because the USB memory stick that boots bodhi's rootfs with the synology kernel is not detected once the kernel starts... The drivers seem to be loaded according to the logs in the previous post: ...

Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 4 months ago
I've tried out the 4.14 rootfs and the previous error has gone, but now the issue is related to the HDD. $ sudo su - # rm -rf /media/user1/usbstick/* # tar xjf Debian-4.12.4-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 -C /media/user1/usbstick/ # cd /media/user1/usbstick/boot/ root@host:/media/user1/usbstick/boot# ZIMAGE=/home/user1/Synology_Debian/src/SynologyOpenSource/toolkit/build_env/dby ZooMoo - Debian

Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 5 months ago
It's' not so simple given the Synology 3.x kernel needs GCC up to version 8. Which is too old and not available unless running a legacy distribution in a VM. To build the ancient and modified Synology kernel you need to use their chroot'ed build environment. Details for setting up the environment are given at: https://help.synology.com/developer-guide/getting_started/gettingby ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 6 months ago
Thanks Bodhi, I've been looking around and not much shows up. Going back to the DS215j, I want to try to compile and use the Synology DSM kernel (v3.2.4) with your Debian DeBootstrap install. How do I compile a kernel from source and use it within a Debian Debootstrap install. I guess I'll need some of Synologies custom libraries, but I'm not sure I've searched onlineby ZooMoo - Debian

This is not looking good without the docs. What is the latest SoC / NAS you'd recommend that's supported?by ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 7 months ago
I put the request for releasing the Armarda 375 documentation via their Request Information contact page https://www.marvell.com/request-information.html No response at all from Marvell. Maybe because I'm a nobody and not a registered company with an NDA? Are you able to try as well?by ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 7 months ago
Nice Bodhi! I've tested the LED/Beeps and they are working as expected. Shutdown (shutdown -h now) also works with the message: reboot: Power down qnap_power_off: triggering power-off.. I'll put in a request to Marvell for the very old Amarda 375 specification documents.by ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 7 months ago
Bodhi, Sorry, no luck in my search. It must be under an NDA :( Is the only way to get it is from Marvell/AMD or whoever owns it by signing an NDA?by ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 8 months ago
Synologies DSM 6.2 uses the v3.2.4 kernel which I compared to the stock kernel for the same version. To get the respective kernel sources for the armada 375: linux-3.x.txz https://global.synologydownload.com/download/ToolChain/Synology%20NAS%20GPL%20Source/6.2-25556/armada375/linux-3.x.txz Location of .config which shows the kernel version (# Linux/arm 3.2.40 Kernel Configuration): ./6by ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 8 months ago
A puzzle indeed. Given Synologies DSM uses the 3.x Kernel, then it may be a regression in later kernels (?). I'd like to try compiling a 3.x kernel to see if it works and rule out a regression in the 6.x kernel. How do you prepare the Debian-6.6.2-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 file (https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32146)? Do you have a build script?by ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 8 months ago
The DS215j doesn't support POE (https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/Hardware/DataSheet/DiskStation/15-year/DS215j/enu/Synology_DS215j_Data_Sheet_enu.pdf). Would've been a cool feature though.by ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 8 months ago
Quotebodhi Either that, or the kernel misidentified the chip. Looking at the driver source, it looks like the 88E1510 is used as a catch all for the family of 88E151x PHY chips. It also contains a workaround for the 88E1514 bug. ./linux-stable/drivers/net/phy/marvell.c ... static int m88e1510_config_init(struct phy_device *phydev) { static const struct { u16 reg17, reg16;by ZooMoo - Debian

No luck re-running sgmii (armada-375-synology-ds215j_sgmii.tar) but the information maybe useful: root@debian:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII FIBRE ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frameby ZooMoo - Debian

It's odd though that u-boot shows it detect rgmii and not sgmii.

Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 8 months ago
Thanks Bodhi. I started looking for the specification documents for both the Marvell Amada 375 (88F6720) and the ETH Marvell 88E1514. Which may help with the DTS. I cannot find anything for the Marvell Amada 375 (88F6720) (maybe under NDA???...), even the kernel docs only mentions the product brief and not the hardware specs. https://docs.kernel.org/arch/arm/marvell.html Armada 375 Flavby ZooMoo - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS215j - 8 months ago
Another approach I've tried is to extract the DTB and convert it to a DTS from the Synology DSM installation PAT file. However, it has not worked, see below. Download DSM from: https://archive.synology.com/download/Os/DSM/6.2.4-25556 Extract file: $ binwalk -e DSM_DS215j_6.2.4-25556.pat $ cd _DSM_DS215j_6.2.4-25556.pat.extracted/ Install extract-dtb tool: $ pipx insby ZooMoo - Debian
