Default Kissdx on Verbatim/Smartdisk NAS

Hi,

I bought a 500Gb Verbatim NAS (aka Smartdisk SOHO NAS). I've managed to compile xkissd to arm processor and to make it run in the NAS (linux inside). It's still a kind of "beta" test because the firmware has not been modified and the xkissd files are lost when you restart the NAS.

Next step is to integrate the xkissd in the firmware and to make a configuration page in the HTML admin of the NAS.

I'll tell you more soon. Maybe soneone will be interested by this port.

I've tested with a Kiss DP-600 client. Everything is OK (video, audio, pictures)

Good work! Keep it coming!
Do you know which processor the Verbatim uses? Have you tried software from any of the Optware ipkg feeds? Maybe it could become a new Optware target.

The NAS runs a linux 2.6.10 kernel. When I read /proc/cpuinfo I can find the following information, maybe it can help you to find out which processor it is :

Processor : FA52Xid(wb) rev 1 (v4l)
BogoMIPS : 64.71
Features : swp half thumb
CPU implementer : 0x66
CPU architecture : 4
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0x526
CPU revision : 1

meminfo tells it has 64Mb RAM + 500Mb swap (on disk drive ?)

I used the 920t_le gcc cross-compiler to build the binaries. Kissdx needs libdvdread, libjpeg and libm to work, libiconv is already in the NAS.
I compiled kissdx 0.14.0.b1a with no changes at all in the default makefile.

I can play movies even HD avi or wmv, mp3 play fine too. Pictures are scaled to 1920x1080, a bit slow for the first one then it's ok.

The NAS has a hidden menu to enable telnet. This helps a lot to make tests.

I'll take a look to Optaware ipkg. I don't know what it is.

hi

Another user of your processor seams to use ipkg successfully
(ipkg is a apt-get for small device, then no need to recompile each time)

For the cross-compiler, I'm using the one included in the sources of the NAS. I downloaded them at technical support download page for Smartdisk SOHO NAS

In the 309 Mb tar.gz file you will find the sources of GNU part of the firmware, the binaries objects of private part of firmware and a complete dev environment with a ready-to-use cross-compiler. If you want more information I can tell you more.[/url]
