* Package name : iconnect-tools Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Carsten Schoenert <c.schoenert@t-online> * URL : https://salsa.debian.org/tijuca/iconnect-tools * License : MIT Programming Lang: Shell Description : system administration helping tools for Iomega iConnect The Iomega iConnect is a Marvell Kirkwood (ARM) Linux-based NAS device which comes with 4 USB ports, GbE and wireless support (802.11g). This package contains some small helpers for using a Debian installation on the Iomega iConnect. . It contains a systemd service file for controlling the info LEDs on the front of the device but also a simple UDEV rule and helper script to show recognized USB devices a user has plugged in. It also serve a Sysctl configuration file to decrease the sync rate of the Linux kernel for writing data to the swap file on a USB device. . The package provides also a configuration file for the u-boot-tools package so the U-Boot environment can be read and modified from a running Debian installation. Additional notes The Iomega iConnect is not a recent peace of hardware, it's about 10 years old but is still running without problems. As long Debian is providing packages for the armel architecture this hardware will running smoothly. The iConnect is avaialable for cheap money on Amazon or EBay e.g. I've recently adjusted the debian-installer as WIP and can install Debian in the iConnect without further needed modifications (except the U-Boot environment). https://people.debian.org/~tijuca/iconnect/ The people from OpenWRT have probably the best hardware overview if you don't know about the Iomeag iConnect. https://openwrt.org/toh/iomega/iconnect
