We continue to put OpenWrt on anything. D-link DNS-320L
I bought this NAS for a clear purpose, it should work on OpenWRT. I myself am not strong in linux, so I collected information bit by bit from the Internet. Nothing was found in the Russian-language part, so I decided to write instructions for the people + to save something, since I do not trust my memory.
The result was a NAS that downloads firmware from internal memory and mounts a usb connected hard drive as main memory.
A man named Andreas Böhler wrote a patch for openwrt revision 39746 to enable compilation of firmware. The following steps are performed on the Debian OS under VirtualBox.
Install packages for compilation:
Download the firmware sources:
Apply patches:
Well, compilation of the firmware.
Checking the installed components:
If such a window appears, select the Marwell Kirkwood line in the Target System and the D-Link DNS320L line in the Target Profile:
If this did not happen, and there are no errors, you need to do:
Actually, this is enough for a clean initial working firmware. If desired, you can run through the menu and install the necessary packages. I installed Base System -> block-mount and Kernel Modules -> FileSystem -> kmod-fs-ext4 , since I plan to transfer the root directory to the hard drive. I used an external USB hard, but with the same success, you can use sata hard or a USB flash drive.
We start compilation:
If you have a multi-core computer, then:
where 5 is the number of cores +1
Let's leave the compilation, this is a slow business. Next, you need to connect to the NAS console. To do this, there are 4 pins on the ward, located near usb and a network, I soldered sticks to them for easy connection, I use this adapter, you can use any adapter on PL2303, for example, a cable from Siemens dca-510: The
pins on the DNS320L board are ( from jamie.lentin.co.uk/devices/dlink-dns325 ):
The outputs of the board must be connected to the corresponding outputs of the USB-TTL adapter. If it does not work, then you do not need to swap RX and TX, 3.3v! I connected and burned 2 adapters.
After connecting, open Putty and install the connection port (the port can be viewed in the Device Manager -> COM and LPT Ports) speed 115200.
In the category serial data bits - 8, Flow Control - None.
Click Open - the Empty Console opens. We connect the NAS power and press the power button, the download has started, we are waiting for the inscription: If you want to stop u-boot booting, then press space then 1 when prompted to press any key
Quickly press "Space", then "1". We get the input line:
Marvell>
(Sorry, forgot to make screenshots)
Next, run the tftp server.
To do this, download tftpd32.jounin.net/download/tftpd32.450.zip
Unpack and drop the files openwrt-kirkwood-dns320l-jffs2-nand-2048-128k.img and openwrt-kirkwood-uImage of the compiled firmware into the same folder. We connect the NAS to the computer with a patch cord, give the ip address to the computer 2.66.66.32 and run tftp32:
We write in putty (information on the site http://www.aboehler.at/cms/projects-a-hacks/50-dns320l with errors)
After that, the NAS will restart and OpenWRT will start.
After loading OpenWRT, you need to change some files.
Further:
Enter the root password:
And after boot up, openwrt will get the ip address over the network, you can connect via ssh.
Next hard, which will be / formatted in ext4, unzip openwrt-kirkwood-dns320l-rootfs.tar to it on the NAS
sda1 we change to the disk partition on which / will be and you unpacked the archive.
After rebooting, if everything is done correctly, we get OpenWRT with the root on the disk.
Only 2 semi-problems remained:
1. the cooler does not spin, I decided this by connecting to the power bypassing the board;
2. disks do not park, the temporary solution is UPS from sudden loss of light
Files with the firmware that I used are on Yandex.Disk .
UPD1: Slightly changed the kernel settings, now available memory is 118 MB Yandex.Disk bigroot , you need to re-flash the kernel and jffs.
UPD2: I can’t compare about speed (now there are other screws, but there’s no possibility of returning), who can throw the dump / backup official ?, I will make the official comparison, alt-f and openwrt 12 and 14, write in a personal ;-)
PS if We saw a mistake, do not hesitate to write in PM, I will correct it as soon as I can.
