Status of QNAP TS-410, TS-410U, TS-412, TS-419P, TS-419P+, TS-419U and TS-410U+
The QNAP TS-41x is based on a Marvell Kirkwood System on a Chip. Marvell has done a lot of work in the last few months to get support for the Kirkwood platform into the mainline kernel and they continue to work on getting this platform fully supported. However, since this is an ongoing effort, some features of the Kirkwood platform are currently not as well supported as in the original Marvell LSP (Linux Support Package) used by QNAP. Please take this into account before deciding whether you want to install Debian, especially if you have specific requirements (e.g. related to performance).
The table below shows how well different components of the QNAP TS-41x are supported by Debian:
| Component | Comment |
| Debian | Debian and the Debian installer work well |
| CPU | Supported in the kernel by the kirkwood platform |
| SATA | Supported in the kernel by the sata_mv module |
| Ethernet | Supported in the kernel by the mv643xx module |
| USB | Supported |
| RTC | Supported in the kernel by the rtc-s35390a module |
| LEDs | Supported in qcontrol |
| LCD (TS-419P/TS-419P+) | Supported in upstream qcontrol but not yet in Debian |
| Fan | Supported in qcontrol, but there is no automatic regulation of the fan based on the current temperature. |
| Beeper | Supported in qcontrol |
| XOR engine | Supported |
| Crypto engine | Initial support in 2.6.32 |
| Wake-on-LAN (WOL) | Not supported. Looking for a volunteer who can adapt the Linux kernel |
| Scheduled power | Not supported. The RTC driver in the Linux kernel needs wakealarm support. There's an initial patch but it doesn't work for me. |
