Thank you for this bodhi. Please note that on my NAS325 the --noecc is not available. So I removed it from the command. I made also a nanddump with -i and I saved both.by miazza - uBoot

This is realy what I do not like because I would like to see it working in debian before to have it fixed and stable. At the end if there is no way I will apply anyhow... I'm really curious now.

I've now serial console but the issue now is that when I hit a key for stop booting, the booting stops but only for few seconds. After about 10 senconds, it starts again and I have no time to send all the needed setenv __ __ _ _ | \/ | __ _ _ ____ _____| | | | |\/| |/ _` | '__\ \ / / _ \ | | | | | | (_| | | \ V / __by miazza - Debian
Thank you bodhi. So, there is no way to try without serial console ? I still have not set it up .... Before reading your feedback I tried one fw_setenv command just to try if it was working (I modified the VENDOR_NAME) and this was effective with a fw_printenv so I thought is was possible to apply even in absence of serial console. But I see the fw_setenv are automatically stored and may bby miazza - Debian

Thanks for the answer. Bo you mean I have to download it un a Linux PC and copy on NSA325 to be executed ? And for the second point: If I want to revert to original FW what shall I do ? is it sufficient to remove USB ?by miazza - Debian
I'm trying to install the Stretch rootfs Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (24 Jul 2017) with original stock u-boot. (new u-boot is also in progress but with bad block... still need some help). I followed all the instructions but when I arrive at mkimage , my Linux box does not have mkimage. Then I tried to install with apt-get but also apt-get not found. I feel reaby miazza - Debian

Thanks, yhis is the time to set-up a serial console ... this is what happens when you try :( Ok I will apply but it will take some time. Thanksby miazza - uBoot
Thanks for the answer. Now .... I do not know what I have done but now I have an issue: When I switch on the NAS it power up for few seconds, I can SSH but immediately after it power shut down. This happened immediately after that I formatted the rootfs USB but this was not active because I never arrived to the step 1b. Now it is useless and I do not know what to do ... any suggestion ?by miazza - uBoot
Hello yo the whole forum for my first post. I'm waking my old NAS - Zixel and I have found all this nice job that I would like to apply. I'm not very familiar with all this stuff and I do not have time to apply for the UART emergency serial interface (I have one it in any case if needed). So I would like to do everything right at the first time. I am startin with a stock uboot (by miazza - uBoot
