ARM? about dnsmasq-qpkg HOT 11 CLOSED

After browsing the source of this repo, I fail to find any buildscripts :-/ Otherwise I'd be on my way to produce an arm build.

from dnsmasq-qpkg.

I am working on getting that together. In the meantime. I used debian 4, so I can say start there. https://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort with http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian-4.0/main/installer-arm/20070308etch7/ if that helps you any that was where I was looking to begin. Definitely interested in trying it out.

Thanks! What should I read to get a general feeling of what is needed? I can certainly install an arm debian if that's required to build. I'm just a little lost in the whole build for qnap progress.
If you could share some pointers where to look and start, that would be awesome :)

@angerman Whew, I've been all over these past weeks for work, one more week of travel (Korea!) and then I am finally back. So sorry about the delay. I finally took the time this morning and got everything cleaned up a bit and a description typed up, I will add on, and once I get back make a go at an arm package. I hope this helps!

@angerman - Which NAS are you running? I want to make sure I looking at the proper architecture. Thanks! -Eric

@variab1e got TS-231+. Sorry for not replying earlier, things at my end are pretty crazy right now :-/

Cheers,
Moritz

Hi @variab1e

Appreciate the hard work (and a bit jealous of that trip!)
:)

Much like Moritz ( @angerman ), I have an arm based system - TS-219P II running a single core Marvell Kirkwood @ 2Ghz. I believe we're looking at a ARMv5TE instruction set (not great, but its getting the job done.)

DNSMasq v2.62-1 is available via ipkg plugin, just not something with your great front end.

My Linux skills are lacking, but if there is anything I can do to assist with increasing compatibility, please let me know.

Thx,
Jordan

@angerman & @JFish222 Hey guys, this one took a bit longer than I was hoping, but i have an ARM version compiled now. I do not have a QNAP NAS for ARM, but I had a vm and an armv7 machine (same architecture as the QNAP ARM gear) and it tested good. So this should work from what I can tell. Please let me know if it does not. Check the new releases for the ARM version. Thank for the patience! Hope you're all having a good set of holidays.

Hi @variab1e ,

Much appreciated. Just one concern, the lower end units use Marvell Kirkwood chips.
These use the ARMv5TE instruction set (that just happens to be clocked extremely high).

I'll go ahead and test anyway this weekend, but if there's anything I can do on my end for ARMv5TE compilation, I'm happy to help.

@JFish222 Thanks much! The ARMv5TE These are what QNAP terms x09 isn't it? I just realized that today as I finally had a chance to decompress and research.
This is the processor I beleive for the TS-109 units

Your TS-231+ should be good though, it is ARMv7

from dnsmasq-qpkg.

Lol @variab1e, to many model numbers floating around . . .

@angerman has the TS-231+ (Armv7)
I have the TS-219P II

The TS-219P II uses the Kirkwood Core (ARMv5TE)

That said, QNap and Marvell had been shipping variations of the Sheeva ARMv5TE CPU for a few years, so it made it into a number of units (And these for example).

If it helps, there is already a ipkg for DNSMASQ - just lacks your front end.
If they can be deployed via 2 separate packages, it may simplify things for you a bit.

Update
I tried to install the existing package. Installation was successful, but the process refuses to start (nothing in the logs to indicate why).

I'm assuming this is an instruction set issue, but if not, I can provide a full set of notes in another ticket.
