> Several friends already told me that using a USB3 microSD card reader on a USB2 port will tremendously improve the R/W throughputs. Yes. As said above, it's not the USB 3.0 but the fact that the reader is probably using UHS-I interface with SD card (and better overall quality of the controller), since it has to justify the use of a USB 3.0 interface/controller. >I certainly donby bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
I don't think that making a UART crossover is a good idea. I'd just buy another USB-UART dongle.

@bodhi: why fatload in the envs? that uboot has ext2load too as said here https://pointless.net/blog/2014/04/17/debian-wheezy-hp-t5352-thin-client/ I'm half sure that Debian cannot run from fat filesystem (although you can make a fat partition for boot folder only, but in this case it's pointless). @cv: can you post the result of "printenv" in uboot serial console?by bobafetthotmail - Debian
Ah nice. I'm waiting for the cables (dunno about Gravelrash). Can you test if this box can UART boot? (see here) http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852,7852 It's a pretty important feature, if it can UART-boot it's easy to unbrick, testing will be faster and safer.

Ah, forgot about the i2c. the b version needs both lm85 and i2c for fancontrol. As explained by pbg4 anyway, but making sure just in case. >But obviously the above was probably the reason for the DTS author to have named them that way?

>I need to describe the difference between the 3rd version of the DTS and the exisiting 2 DTS. The new dts needs to have a red USB led, just like the first dts has (and works if I load it). The new dts needs to have lm85 sensor, like the second dts has (and works if I load it).

Oh, cool you're right. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi/ There is indeed an open driver for it, and it is still alive, it even got EXA 2D acceleration before XGI died (XAA has been removed in modern kernels) http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzkyNA Of course I only expect this thing to do 2D at a decent fullhd resolution, but having a fully oby bobafetthotmail - Debian
SD card reader speed depends from various factors: -SD card flash speed (class 10 in your case, should be higher than 10 MB/s), -from SD-adapter interface (the SD can go up to UHS-I interface, again higher than 10 MB/s) -USB speed (top USB2.0 speed in real world is 30 MB/s, it's awesome if something can go beyond 25 MB/s). -inherent crappyness of adapter From my experience, people alby bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic

Why the standard env image uses ext2load instead of ext4load? I'm a bit curious.

A quick question, does the graphics in this thing work outside of the original firmware? I somehow doubt that a 7yo closed-source driver will cut it, but it would be cool to get a kirkwood device with a GPU.

1. yes. only drives in the NAS must be USB drive installer and USB drive where you are installing OMV in. No sata drives. 2. theoretically, it should work as it's standard linux software raid, but I can't give any real guarantee on that, so backup the data. 3. serial cable is best.

if you wrote resetenv you need to run the installation again to get the u-boot to boot usb drive. Can you post the text when you write "printenv" after the install in u-boot console?
