Hi, How difficult would it be support the Synology NAS DS-213j in Debian? The device has a Marvell Armada 370/XP SoC which is supported by the mainline Kernel. The CPU is single core and has a hardware floating point unit. Is this CPU supported by the armhf Debian port and what needs to be done to support this device directly by the Debian installer?

The DS213j has a Marvell Kirkwood ARM cpu My time is quite limited these days but if you send an email to the debian-arm list I'm sure someone will be able to assist. > I have the slug running with Debian for 5 years now and would like to > thank you for making this possible.
