The Helios 4 is a NAS from Kobol
that is powered by an Armada 38x
MicroSOM from Solidrun, similarly
to Clearfog.
This device has:
-Armada 38x CPU
(dual core ARMv7 1.6 Ghz)
-2 GB of ECC RAM
-Gigabit ethernet (Marvell)
-2x USB 3.0 ports
-4x Sata 3.0 ports
-i2c header (J9 |>GND|SDA|SCL|VCC)
-2x 3-pin fan headers with PWM
-micro-usb port is a TTL/UART to
USB converter connected to TTL
-MicroSD card slot
-System, 4xSata and 1xUSB LEDs
NOT WORKING: fan control
Fan Control requires a kernel patch
that is available in the Armbian
project (the "default firmware"
of this device) and named
mvebu-gpio-remove-hardcoded
-timer-assignment
This patch isn't acceptable
by OpenWrt, it should be upstreamed.
I also have that patch in my own
local OpenWrt builds,
in case you want a more
clean and less confusing patch
for upstreaming.
To install, write the disk image
on a micro SD card with dd or
win32 disk imager, insert the
card in the slot.
Check that the dip switch battery
for boot selection is as follows
Switch 1 and 2 down/off, switches
3, 4, 5 up/on.

The Linksys devices in mvebu target feature a mixed naming,
where parts are based on the official product name (device
node, image; e.g. WRT3200ACM) and parts are based on the
internal code name (DTS file name, compatible, LED labels;
e.g. rango). This inconsistent naming has been perceived
as quite confusing.
A recent attempt by Paul Spooren to harmonize this naming
in kernel has been declined there. However, for us it still
makes sense to apply at least a part of these changes
locally.
Primarily, this patch changes the compatible in DTS and thus
the board name used in various scripts to have them in line
with the device, model and image names. Due to the recent
switch from swconfig to DSA, this allows us to drop
SUPPORTED_DEVICES and thus prevent seamless upgrade between
these incompatible setups.
However, this does not include the LED label rename from
Paul's initial patch: I don't think it's worth keeping the
enormous diff locally for this case, as we can implement
this much easier in 01_leds if we have to live with the
inconsistency anyway.

Buffalo LinkStation LS421DE is a dual bay NAS, based on Marvell Armada 370
Hardware:
SoC: Marvell Armada 88F6707-A1
CPU: Cortex-A9 1200 MHz, 1 core
Flash: SPI-NOR 1 MiB, NAND 512 MiB
RAM: DDR3 512 MiB
Ethernet: 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps
USB: 1x 2.0, 1x 3.0
SATA: 2x 3.0 Gbps
LEDs/Input : 5x / 2x (1x button, 1x slide-switch)
RTC: Ricoh RS5C372A, I2C, no battery
Flash instruction (UART+TFTP):
1. Downgrade the OEM firmware to 1.34 version (BUFFALO_BOOTVER=0.13)
2. Remove any hard drive from inside the bays.
3. Boot the Openwrt initramfs image using the U-Boot serial console:
tftpboot 0x1200000 buffalo_ls421de-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm 0x1200000
4. Flash the sysupgrade image using the Openwrt console:
sysupgrade -n buffalo_ls421de-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
5. Wait until it finish, the device will reboot with Openwrt installed
on the NAND flash.
Note:
- Device shuting down doesn't work, even if the power slide switch is
used. We must first, via MDIO, set the unused LED2 at the ethernet
phy0 to off state. Reboot works ok.

For the mvebu target in particular, there is a lot of files in
base-files that are only relevant for one subtarget. Improve
overview and reduce size per subtarget by moving/splitting
base-files depending on the subtarget they belong to.
While at it, consolidate 01_leds by using the model part of
the board name as variable.
