For iperf only, I think the new kernels(5.9.12 above) for kirkwood from bodhi can reach about 940Mbps @ 1.2Ghz.by daviddyer - Debian

Anyway, I think it is a good idea to make it a little bigger... softwares are bloating these days... raspberry pi OS has a bigger /boot now.. This is the trend..by daviddyer - Debian

mtdparts: I think that's not a big deal. For me, I will never go back to the old firmware. Even if we install openwrt (as rescue), I guess we won't be able to get back since we will overwrite a lot of things with our definition of mtdparts... The original OpenWrt rootfs partition use unused space after stock firmware.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
For large HDDs, I guess there will be no problem. I used 3TB & 4TB SATA in goflex home with the 2017 uboot and debian, no problem. I don't think there will be any problem with the 2021 version here. For netconsole, I did not test it yet since I dug a hole in the box and kept the uart wires. :P I always prefer wired version. :Pby daviddyer - Debian

Let me post some pictures of the setup. I used Rpi 0 with an usb-ethernet adapter. Used Rpi0's hardware serial port to connect to the c200 board. The cheap CH341 usb-ttl adapter I got from eBay sucks! So I did not use it.by daviddyer - Debian

One problem about disk 1 / disk 2 LED (in debian). I think disk1 / disk 2 LED are supposed to light up when there's a drive installed. LED for disk 1 / disk 2 doesn't light up after debian is booted. Also, if I operate on disk 1 / disk 2, the LED for disk 1 / disk 2 doesn't flash. Disk 1 250GB rusty Disk 2 256GB SSD root@debian:~# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=4M cby daviddyer - Debian

Thoughts on the RTC: IMHO, we can just stick to the soft RTC. These kirkwood devices are about 10 years old, I guess most of the batteries died. Soft RTC should be a good solution.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
Well, I choose that name because the debian dts folder names other kirkwood boxes that way... And the source code file (from openwrt) name is kirkwood-c200-v1.dts Or, like the pogoplug v4, name it kirkwood-c200_v1.dtb ? Just tested one LED, seems fine. I have the usb boot drive on usb1, so LED for usb1 it is on. (green) root@debian:/sys/class/leds/green:usb1# echo 0 >brightnessby daviddyer - Debian
Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
Will test the LEDs later... currently the box was disassembled and it is difficult to match the LED with its name. :P I guess we can name the dtb file kirkwood-c200-v1.dtb Will test the sata command in u-boot later.by daviddyer - Debian
