Re: NSA 325 V2 Debian Is Possible!
Thanks for the hint! With noatime, nodiratime and big_writes I was able to improve speed for read and write to ~23MB/s! Now I will look through the SMB configuration. I wonder what Zyxel did to...

Hello - I apologise if this has been answered before, but I can't seem to find comments that confirm, or otherwise, that the methods discussed here will work with a NSA325v1 box? I've built a FAT USB...

Thanks Bodhi. You say: QuoteBodhi The NSA325 v1/v2 is already supported with new u-boot uboot.2017.07-tld-1.nsa325.bodhi.tar and Debian rootfs Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 There...

Ahh, that all makes a lot of sense now! It's interesting that you say 'failed to spin up the USB drive' as the "drive" is actually a 16GB USB 'stick', so, of course, there's no 'spin'! That's what has...

Mike, “Spin up” was my lazy typing :) (“initialize” is more appropriate) USB flash has no spinning rust like with HDD of course! The USB detection prcessing was timed out with a T like that in uboot.

Hi Bodhi Sorry to bother you, but reading the - excellent! - instructions about flashing a new u-boot, I've come across a couple of queries. You suggest saving the current uBoot image that is in mtd0....

Thanks again, Bodhi! I'd overlooked the newer version of the programs (binaries) contained in that tarball. My mistake! However, I've downloaded them and extracted them as suggested. There is one...

Soory, Bodhi - me again! I see in the information about flashing U-Boot - in step 6 - it says: flash-erase /dev/mtd0 0 4 The first figure is the block offset - that's fine - and second is <block...
View ArticleRe: NSA 325 V2 Debian Is Possible!
Mike, Yes, 128MB was a typo! I should have said "NAND block is 128KB". And about flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4 The above command erases the 1st 512KB on mtd0, since we only need that much to store u-boot...

Thanks again, Bodhi. I can see exactly what you mean - and why. So, the good news is that I continued to follow the uboot update instructions to the letter, and also built a USB stick with the 4.12.1...

Thanks for the really speedy reply, Bodhi. As usual, what you say makes perfect sense, and I've removed the file But - why are my environment variables so apparently wrong? Here's the result of the...

Sorry, Bodhi but that';s exactly what I did do! That's why I am so suprised that the environment variables aren't set. Here is the contents of the file that I created after performing step 8 - and...

OK, maybe there's an error in the instructions for saving those environment variables. Certainly, when I used the command nandwrite -s 786432 /dev/mtd0 uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img as per step...
