Debian on Kirkwood devices
Kirkwood is a system on a chip (SoC) from Marvell that integrates an ARM CPU, Ethernet, SATA, USB, SDIO and other functionality in one chip. Kirkwood is targeted at Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, digital home media servers, plug computers and other devices. Kirkwood based devices are a great platform to run Debian and together with Debian they can be a very powerful environment.
Debian support for the Kirkwood platform is work in progress. We're currently working on support for the following devices:
If you're interested in Debian support for other Kirkwood based devices please consider donating hardware.
Debian already fully supports Marvell's Orion platform, the predecessor of Kirkwood.
