Looks like the best candidate is the Synology DS411j u-boot. Also, we know this u-boot image has been installed here and working. Warning: by flashing the new u-boot, you will no longer able to boot DSM. And if the new u-boot does not work for this DS210j, then it will be a brick. The only way to recover is either running kwboot (if your serial console is working), or connect JTAG. Dowloadby bodhi - Debian

Ivan, Could you do the research about this box vs the DS109? these 2 have the same SoC and same memory. But what about the peripherals? do they both have UBS 2.0?by bodhi - Debian
OK so this box has 128MB RAM. But the DS112 and DS211 both have 256MB (mainline DTS has a wrong memory capacity for both). New u-boot will be a bit slower coming then I thought.by bodhi - Debian

Ivan, But before you throw this box away, we should give it one last shot. I can build a special u-boot verison for this based on the DS211. These boxes have 128MB RAM so they are very close. But they have different SoC (6282 vs 6281). I won't do it from the ground up, just change the DS211 configs a little to use the DS210 DTS (for the 6281 SoC purpose) and use some good looking idenby bodhi - Debian
