Hello everyone,
I've installed ARMedslack onto one of these now.
http://go.iomega.com/en/products/network-storage-desktop/wireless-data-station/network-hard-drive-iconnect/
Specification
It's a Marvell Orion board inside, complete with the header for a TTL to USB serial console.
The console can be rigged like this http://doip.org/iconnect_console
I've recompiled the kernel to include the following options: (Could these be added into the standard ARMedslack kernel config please ?)
> CONFIG_RT2800PCI=m
> CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT33XX=y
> CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT35XX=y
However it probably only requires the first of them. This has made the onboard Ralink wireless adapter available.
I'm trying to hack the mapower architecture code changes into the kernel code to get the pretty LEDs working, but have had varying degrees of success with that so far, I think I've got the code in and working, however I've yet to figure out how to control the LEDs. So I'm hacking away at the default (flash) image (debian 5) to try and figure out how they've done it. It looks like they're controlling it with a closed source binary atm.
The Sheeva Plug install instructions work for the install.
Anyway, other than that it works well, and it's a cheap device
Thanks
Dave
