D-Link DNS-320L

[andyboeh]

Hey,

I recently bought a D-Link DNS-320L and was surprised to find another Kirkwood variant inside: 88F6702A. As no mainline support for this device existed, I started porting ALARM to the platform.

Currently working:

Linux 3.1 (will port to DeviceTree later on)
SATA
SATA and USB LED
USB Button
Ethernet
USB

Work in Progress:

Power LED
Power Button
Fan Control
Temperature Sensor
RTC
WOL
Device Shutdown

Find the latest patches and my progress here: http://blog.aboehler.at/2013/09/arch-li ... -dns-320l/

If anyone is interested in support for this device or can assist in development, don't hesitate to contact me!

How much ram is there?

[moonman]

256. Ram it seems.

That is an interesting cpu. I couldnt find any specs on aside from the fact that it is 1ghz. (At least from googling on my phone)

Yeah, i found patches for lacie as well, but nothing on the marvel's website

Yes, it's got 256MB of RAM and 128MB of Flash.
Apart from a noisy fan, the device is quite nice.
There are a number of things controlled by a custom MCU as it seems, e.g. RTC, Power Button, ...

[andyboeh]

Just for your reference: The implementation is fairly complete now. I've got a traditional setup-file for Linux 3.11 ready as well as a dts file for Linux 3.12.

In conjunction with my system daemon, everything works for me, including fan control, shutdown, reading/writing RTC. Still WiP is resume from RTC Alarm, WOL and Flash are untested.

I moved the blog entry to a dedicated web page: http://www.aboehler.at/cms/projects-a-hacks/50-dns320l

Thinking about buying it. You think it's a good choice for sharing between PCs?

[andyboeh]

Depends on what you're going to do. If you want to run anything non-stock on it, you need to solder the serial header to the mainboard.
I have no experience with Stock firmware, but it works fine for me with my kernel patches and my userspace daemon.

Hi,

I am quite interested in this device to complement Dockstar and Goflex Net devices I am currently playing with, as it can power 2* 3.5 SATA disks.

I wonder if one can avoid soldering the serial console by making use of the script (file) named “fun_plug” run when the OS is booted cf. http://nas-tweaks.net/371/hdd-installat ... s-devices/ .
Using this file, one can enable telnet and ssh.
