There are many users who have contributed to this kernel. This rootfs is dedicated for the purpose of upgrading and release distribution. This rootfs was created by Debian debootstrap and then a few packages were installed for user’s convenience. It is a basic system where you can build upon by installing packages. The released tarball Debian-x.xx.2 is a basic armel rootfs ( a complete Debian system with kernel already installed) for Kirkwood boxes ready to be used.

The kernel image is included in it for users who just want to install kernel. The released tarball linux-x.xx.2 includes everything you need to build your own kernel from mainline kernel source tree (patches and config file are all that needed). When you see -kirkwood-tld-xx postfix, it's my custom build (where mainline build has -kirkwood or -marvell postfix). For example, 3.xx.0-kirkwood-tld-1 is version 3.xx.0, custom version tld-1. tld-xx is my naming convention for a minor version in a kernel. These are my ongoing released Kirkwood kernel builds. You can also use the Latest released rootfs (see above), but be aware that some stock u-boots have kernel size limitation.
Dockstar guitars upgrade#
After initial installation, you can upgrade to the latest kernel. Note that with older u-boot such as 2012 or earlier, or stock u-boot, the Stretch rootfs Debian-4.12.2 (), or older rootfs, could be used to make it easier. And there is a lot of modern features in the new U-Boot that power users would need in a NAS. This new u-boot default envs are set up to boot this rootfs. I would recommed to install the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood, if your box is among the supported list. Please scroll down to 26 Sept 2021 section for download link and installation instruction. Note: If this is your first time installation, then you only need rootfs Debian-5.13.2 (this has kernel linux-5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1 already installed). Latest released rootfs: Debian-5.13.2 (26 Sept 2021) Linux Kernel 6.2.x Kirkwood package and rootfs for GoFlex Home/Net, Pogoplug E02/Mobile/V4, iConnect, Dockstar, Sheevaplug, NSA320, NSA320S, NSA325, NSA310S, NSA310, Topkick, Netgear Stora, ASUS-M25, Iomega ix4-200d, QiZhiTong 501mv2, HP Thin Client T5325, LG N1T1, Linksys EA4500, Lenovo/Iomega ix2-ng, Toshiba Canvio Home NAS, Lenovo Iomega EZ, Dell KACE M300, Freecom Silverstore HNCN2, DNS-320-B1, Medion P89634, Netgear Ready NAS Duo v2, Lenovo/Iomega ix2-dl, CTera C200 V1, Synology DS413j (work in progress), and all other Kirkwood plugs that are already in the mainline.
