marvell orion support going mainline?

November 8, 2007

Various developers at Marvell are aiming to get support for various Orion SoC based platforms included in the mainline vanilla Linux kernel and have just published a git repository of work so far. This will hopefully have a significant impact on NAS hacking communities with the popularity of this hardware in currently available devices, many of whom have been stuck with old vendor specific code for some time.

In terms of foonas this will bring improved support for the Kurobox Pro initially with various ARM based Buffalo Linkstations to follow.

jonli447 and lb_worm from our forums worked so hard on finishing the 2.6.22 port….and at the end there were still this strange XFS issues.

i cannot wait for a working kernel and therefore full foonas support for the LS Pro/LS Live/Kurobox Pro!
