  rright.  many thanks to the person on arm-netbooks who found that the
 netgear ReadyNAS boxes can take standard DDR3 SO-DIMMs.
  apparently there are lots of people who have been upgrading them from
 the pathetic 256mb they come with to at least 1gb, with some degree of
 success:
 
   http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=110t=49254

That thread is for DUO v1 only (LEON SPARC based).

I have not seen any claims that DUO v2 can be upgraded before the post
on this mailinglist. Only numerous claims and complaints about it not
being upgradeable, and wrote it off as not interesting when it came ot
due to being restricted to 256MB.

Henrik

Fwd: [Arm-netbook] ARM port(s) BoF at DebConf

2012-07-24 Thread lkcl luke
ughh :)  *sigh* why is this so difficult for manufacturers to
understand that there are people who both want and need to push the
limits?  don't tell me, i know the answer: they want to reduce costs
in mass-volume manufacturing.   *sigh*.

 ReadyNAS is DDR1, not DDR3. That's why it's limited to 1GB of RAM - DDR1
 SO-DIMMs don't come in sizes  1GB.

   the specs on the readynas.com web site say that ReadyNas Duo v2
 takes DDR3 RAM.

 Curious. I wonder if the postings I saw with the RAM part numbers used
 was for the older ReadyNAS, then. I clearly recall 333MHz DDR RAM being
 mentioned.

  wouldn't surprise me if it was a mistake on the readynas web site...


It takes DDR3 RAM, but it's soldered on board. A google image search
gave me this link:
http://www.legionhardware.com/articles_pages/netgear_readynas_duo_v2,3.html

Here is internals of ReadyNAS Duo (not v2):
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/networking/display/netgear-readynas-duo_4.html

A forum post says that only ReadyNAS Duo has SO-DIMM socket, v2 doesn't have it.

Such a pity, with USB3, SATA and Gigabit Ethernet, it's a very good
product for this price. But memory is not upgradeable.

  hideki, those look superb.  summarising (in case anyone's missed it):
 they're armv7 compatible because they're using a marvell xp processor;
 they're up to dual-core 1.4ghz and the company openblocks can do them
 with up to 3gb of RAM, and i gather the openblocks boxes have a mini
 pci-e port as well as gigabit ethernet.

ftp://ftp.plathome.co.jp/pub/OBSAX3/Documents/OBSA_UsersGuide_1.0.0.pdf

seems to be the (Japanese) user guide for it.  Now, erm I don't know
any Japanese at all, but there are lots of very pretty diagrams in there.
But the picture on 4/24, and table 1.4 on section 6/24
shows the OBSAX3/4/x with an Armada XP, 1.33GHz dual core,
1GB SDRAM, a SODIMM that takes 1 or 2GB (more??), SATA2, Mini PCIe,
4 () GigE, eSATA, 2xUSB2, and 2xRS-232C.

Very nice!  Pity it says available in japan only.

  i'm including arm-netbooks because there may almost certainly be
 people on that list who would be interested in a group buy.  there has
 been quite a bit of interest in getting hold of modular computing
 devices for rack-mounted server usage.

Hi,

I have a spec sheet to devices for English.
I ask whether this can be distributed.

Please wait.
