Re: Debian on Freecom Silverstore 2 NAS - 4 weeks ago
Brolly, Ususally it's on the board with a 4-pin header, and you'd use your own serial module converter. Some boxes (e.g. Sheevaplug, Mirabox) have a micro USB port outside, since the serial module converter is built-in. garagoyun should be able to help you about UART.by bodhi - Debian

Re: U-Boot now supports booting Linux from HTTP - 6 weeks ago
wget has been supported for a while in u-boot. But that 's not the whole story. It's just loading the kernel, similar to how you would tftp a kernel from a network server.by bodhi - uBoot

Basically we need to redefine the NAND partitions, and in the process will wipe stock FW, so after that it might not be possible to run rescue FW again.
