helge, Here is another approach. Let's try booting a non-FDT kernel. This is the rootfs that has non-FDT kernel. Updated 02 Sept 2014 (rootfs): Rootfs Debian-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 was uploaded. This rootfs is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 (and its new features).

Thanks daviddyer, That's a big drop in performance! I suspected this because the same smb config should behave the same way, considering we are using mainline Debian packages. The only significant difference is the ethernet driver which is an OXNAS version, versus Marvell version. I'll take a peek at this code to see if I can find anything.

Tushar, You can create the Debian rootfs on any Linux box, that's what I meant. To install newer kernel, you need to do it in the system while Debian is running. Or using chroot in the host system. What you did using dpkg is not creating rootfs, you tried to install a newer kernel. This is the section you need to follow: QuoteUpdated 20 Feb 2016: This Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tlby bodhi - Debian

Hi Jeff, Regading "oxnas xhci Linux patches", I have not come across patches for this. The PCI and EHCI patches were worked on by kref (the originator of Pogo V3 OXNAS patch). I do believe that an NDA with Oxford Semi was needed to learn about these low lever drivers parameters, I think WarheadsSE and kref had NDA. Perhaps the NDA is no longer needed by now.

Thanks Joey to have been a good guinea pig on the Pogo V3 Oxnas :) you've been a good tester, too bad we hit the road block on this box. I'll take a look of the differences when I have time to do it. If we get lucky (i.e. only the timing or IRQ) it might be possible. But no promise, because this subject is not easy.by bodhi - Off-Topic

I've tried the card in the Kirkwood iConnect, and it works beautifully! it is powered by a USB 2.0 port on the iConnect (direct USB male-male cable), while the boot drive is on another USB 2.0 port. Everything checked out OK. The raw performance is in the ballpark of what we'd expect. The Ultra Fit USB 3.0 is about x4 faster than the USB 2.0 Cruzer Fit. hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dby bodhi - Off-Topic
