Debian on Orion devices

Orion is a system on a chip (SoC) from Marvell that integrates an ARM CPU, Ethernet, SATA, USB, and other functionality in one chip. There are many Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices on the market that are based on an Orion chip. They make nice home servers that are fairly powerful, pretty quiet and don't consume too much electricity. Orion based devices are a great platform to run Debian and together with Debian they can be a very powerful environment.

Work is in progress to add support to Debian for a number of devices. There are additional pages with instructions and information about all supported devices:

If you're interested in Debian support for other Orion based devices please consider donating hardware.
