mvebu: add Kobol Helios 4 device 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. |
