Jun 08 06:40:16 <CIA-45> 03bzhou * r8454 10optware/trunk/ (make/gcc.mk platforms/toolchain-cs06q3armel.mk): native gcc: packaged for cs06q3armel too
Jun 08 07:30:27 <CIA-45> 03oleo * r8455 10optware/trunk/make/transmission.mk: transmission: 6071->6084 - previous two commits were unworkable. Maybe this will work?
Jun 08 08:53:41 <andreask2> I tried to install optware on a new Synology Diskstation 508.
Jun 08 08:54:13 <andreask2> It's PPC, but there is no Optware feed, which works.
Jun 08 08:55:27 <andreask2> If I try to start an application like bash or wget from the PPC feed, I get "core dumped"
Jun 08 08:56:11 <andreask2> if I look at uname -a, it says "ppc".
Jun 08 08:57:11 <andreask2> the CPU is a Freescale MPC8543, 800 MHz.
Jun 08 08:57:37 <andreask2> it's used for DS508, RS408 and RS408-RP
Jun 08 08:59:12 <rwhitby> try ds101g or ts101 feeds - they are the only ppc feeds we have
Jun 08 08:59:47 <rwhitby> if they don't work, then it's not supported.
Jun 08 09:00:07 <rwhitby> ask synology to send a couple to the project and we can support it.
Jun 08 09:00:33 <andreask2> "a couple"?
Jun 08 09:01:23 <andreask2> of diskstations?
Jun 08 09:03:02 <rwhitby> sure
Jun 08 09:03:58 <rwhitby> freecom, hp, qnap have all sent boxes in the last couple of months ...
Jun 08 09:07:39 <ShadowJK> Are any of these as "safe" to flash like nslu2 that has upslug via ressetbutton poweron?
Jun 08 09:11:37 <rwhitby> ShadowJK: some have bootloader firmware recovery modes, usually via tftp.  Dunno about the synology boxes.
Jun 08 09:12:01 <rwhitby> freecom and qnap definitely do.
Jun 08 09:13:00 <ShadowJK> The question really is, I guess, what should I get if I want something more powerful than nslu2? :-)
Jun 08 09:14:20 <ShadowJK> (to run some generic linux on)
Jun 08 09:48:12 <andreask2> AFAIK, only the kernel is stored on an EEPROM, the OS and applications are stored on the disks. you can remove/format the disks and install a new, clean firmware, AFAIK.

Jun 08 09:49:35 <andreask2> DS508 also has a RS232 connector.

Jun 08 09:55:12 <ShadowJK> hm, I wonder if their kernel has bluetooth support
Jun 08 09:55:44 <andreask2> probably not, it even does not support mounting ISO images...
Jun 08 09:56:47 <ShadowJK> This is why I like the nslu2 distributions :)
Jun 08 09:59:44 <ShadowJK> hm
Jun 08 10:00:10 * ShadowJK wonders if there's anything that does the same stuff as that "Synology Assistant" for nix/osx
Jun 08 10:00:30 <andreask2> the is an os x version, which I'm using 
Jun 08 15:27:35 <CIA-45> 03bzhou * r8456 10optware/trunk/make/gcc.mk: native gcc: avoid conflict with libstdc++
Jun 08 17:26:30 <CIA-45> 03mwester * r1069 10kernel/trunk/Makefile: Makefile: Add CROSS_COMPILE_FLAGS to u-boot make invocation in case the environment vars are not set.
Jun 08 18:04:07 <CIA-45> 03engy * r8457 10optware/trunk/make/vnstat.mk: nmap: 4.62->4.65
Jun 08 18:05:16 <CIA-45> 03bzhou * r8458 10optware/trunk/platforms/packages-cs06q3armel.mk: cs06q3armel: a feed with just 3 packages for now
Jun 08 18:06:01 <CIA-45> 03bzhou * r8459 10optware/trunk/platforms/packages-openwrt-ixp4xx.mk: openwrt-ixp4xx: promoted binutils and gcc
Jun 08 18:06:14 <CIA-45> 03engy * r8460 10optware/trunk/make/nmap.mk: nmap: 4.62->4.65
Jun 08 18:14:14 <eno> native toolchain in optware/cs06q3armel feed for Orion devices
Jun 08 18:14:43 <eno> native toolchain for openwrt-ixp4xx to be in optware feed soon
