Topic: Harddisk attached OpenWRT: XIMETA,Inc NDAS driver

The content of this topic has been archived on 3 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,

I'm an engineer at Ximeta, Inc.
We decided to publish the NDAS driver for OpenWRT on our web site.
You can find the more detailed infomation at http://code.ximeta.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/OpenWRT

Download two ipkg files and install them.

http://code.ximeta.com/download/1.0.0/1 … el.ipk.bin
http://code.ximeta.com/download/1.0.0/1 … mipsel.ipk

With these packages, you can access the data or file system in the NDAS hardisk over network from OpenWRT.
that means you can use your OpenWRT device as like an NAS server.

You can attached up to 64 harddisks for 2.4.x kernel, up to 2,097,152 harddisks for 2.6.x kernel if the memory allows it.

And you can access the harddisk from your PCs in the same time without pluging/unpluging hassle.

Please post any question to http://www.ximeta.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14

Thank you
Gene Park.

i know this is a little late but...

http://www.ximeta.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14 doesn't exist anymore and i read somewhere that you don't support your openwrt driver sad

I am having a problem with your driver and i would really like to be able to use it properly with my router.

If you could help me or tell me where i can get some support, it would be great.

Thanks

As far as I know it doesn't work Kamikaze, you'll have to rebuild it yourself if you want it to work with Kamikaze.
Second, you'll need to either install ntfs-3g to read the HD or reformat the HD to something like vfat/ext2
Third you'll need to use the updated S60ndas file, because the one it comes distributed with is wrong.
Fourth, I have one of these and it works okay but the driver itself is kinda spotty (errors inserting/removing the modules, heavy memory use, etc) and there's very little you can do to fix it since Ximeta only releases blobs and not the actual source.

But short of doing some hardware hacking and adding usb support yourself to a wrt54g this I guess is the best alternate solution.

Hi All,

IOCELL Networks released the ndas source code beginning this year, and I tried to compile this for the Fritz!Box.
This worked for the little-endian version (like used on 7170, 7270), but so far I could not get it compiled for the big-endian verstion (like 7390).

See here http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread … mp;page=10 for more information.

The discussion might have continued from here.
