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.
