From Nasi200
Welcome to NASi200
The NAS200-Improved open-source software project was created to gather, distribute and promote user-created improvements to the firmware of the Linksys NAS200 Network Attached Storage device.
Goals
The goals of the NASi200 project may change in the future, but this is them for now:
- Gather information about hardware and software
- Find out what changes were made to the original GPL-licensed software by the Linksys engineers
- Fix bugs
- Reproduce the Linksys distro as closely as possible so we know our build system is working right
- Make it possible to connect to a command prompt (Telnet and SSH protocols) on the NAS200 via a terminal emulator
- Make it possible to upload and download files in a secure way (SSH/SFTP/SCP) that's compatible with most NAT routers
- Make it possible to start custom programs at boot time, e.g. updated Twonky Media Server
- Add protocols such as NFS
- Make it easier to compile other programs for the NAS200 (i.e. provide files that autoconf-generated configure scripts can use to switch to the Linksys provided toolchain)
- Make it harder to brick the NAS200
- Make it possible to boot from other sources e.g. from a harddisk partition or from an image file
The current state is that we have a lot of information about the hardware and software, and we know what changes the Linksys engineers made (see below).
