Re: Factory restore Dockstar - Help needed - 4 weeks ago
The factory firmware is extremely obsolete and contains multiple vulnerabilities. If you desire something that can operate entirely from the NAND flash like the original firmware then I would recommend OpenWrt. You can find information about loading that firmware and links to the firmware at OpenWrt for Dockstarby rayknight - Rescue System

Re: Time is lagging substantially on Netgear ReadyNAS RN102 and RN104 - 3 months ago
The earliest source code download for the RN102/RN104/2120 6.2.5 seems to be based on buildroot 2014.08 and uses a recipe for building u-boot using a tar file for U-Boot-2014.07. The latest source code 6.10.9 (6.10.10 link actually downloads 6.10.9) uses buildroot 2015.11 and a recipe for building u-boot using a tar file for U-Boot-2015.10. Neither of these matches the U-Boot in my example whicby rayknight - Debian

You could also consider installing a Linux OS on the device as it is supported by the mainline Linux kernel.

Re: Debian on ARM Cortex A9 - 6 months ago
Do you know how to build Linux kernel from source? Are you familiar with Device Tree Compiler? What I was suggesting was to either obtain the actual device tree source (.dts) file or as a last resort using the Device Tree Compiler tool to de-compile the DTB file to create a DTS file. Once you have a DTS it will likely need updating as what you have is for kernel 3.10.53 and you'll need toby rayknight - Debian

There is mainline U-Boot support for this device, so you should be able to easily build a modern U-Boot for it.

Please re-create your boot device and post a log of the creation process as for some reason U-Boot is not finding a readable partition. Are you creating on a Linux distribution?

It has been a while since I made the WikiDevi entry for this device.
