I believe, Buffalo Linkstation is ARMv5 EABI, and no FPU, correct? I've added an arm926ej-s uClibc-ng target. I'll commit the change after I build the toolchain. The next step would be building and fixing packages (I don't expect many 'new' issues, since the libc and kernel headers are the same versions as in ARMv7 target, so mostly we'll simply need to add new target 'buildroot-armv5eabi-ng' to the special cases: e.g., see: line 171). If you're willing to help, then you can launch a full build of new feed with these commands (after I push the new target, of course).

Starting from Optware-ng root: make buildroot-armv5eabi-ng-target # this creates working dir we'll build feed in cd buildroot-armv5eabi-ng make directories ipkg-utils # this creates needed directories and configures ipk packaging tools make toolchain # this builds the toolchain make # this tries to build the entire feed And then fix issues you encounter and send Pull Requests with your fixes to me.

I bought a and like many NAS on the market, it is a small computer powered by an and runs the operating system. Since it runs Linux, you can install programs for Linux compiled for the ARM architecture. Read before proceeding First you need to enable the terminal on your NAS. To enable it, follow the instructions below.

Check the box Enable SSH service and click on the OK button After enabling the SSH service, you’ll need a terminal emulator. Login to your NAS as root and using your admin password to be presented to the command line.

You type the command and it will execute after you press Enter DiskStation uname -a Linux DiskStation 2.6.32.12 #1605 Thu Mar 24 02:12:03 CST 2011 armv5tel GNU/Linux synology88f6281211j To install the compiled programs, I’ll use a package manager called ipkg. To install we will get a bootstrap.

The programs are compiled to a specific CPU and won’t work if you don’t get the right script. My Synology DS211j has a Marvell Kirkwood mv6281 1.2Ghz ARM Processor.

Let’s go ahead and download a bootstrap that is known to work with this CPU. Download the script with wget following this DiskStation cd /volume1/@tmp/ DiskStation wget –19:58:04– = `syno-mvkw-bootstrap1.2-7arm.xsh’ Resolving ipkg.nslu2-linux.org 140.211.169.169 Connecting to ipkg.nslu2-linux.org 140.211.169.169 :80 connected.
