Okay, USB 3.0 and Cardreader is still buggy, so I left it out of the Kernel.
uImage3.18.1_7 the 3.18.1_7 is my current Kernel
One other think is that the samba performace is quite bad, even with some tweaks:
read ~30mb/s
write ~22-25mb/s

Samba even in original kd20 (firm.2.38) is not fast. I use vsftpd to get files from KD20 and have 70-75MB/sek while on samba only 35 (raid1).

Can you explain how to make installation - step by step? Is the console conection is require - how to dismantle this device?

@Kluch: Okay I thought you can reach ~40mb/s wright and 80mb/s read. with the original FW
Sure, I can do that the next days step by step.
But for now:
For dismantle the device you can thank Crosser for his pictures:
Dissemble KD20
With them you can easy open up the device.
For Installation there are 2 ways :-):
1. (what I did): You access vendors U-Boot via UART and configure it and go from there via TFTP
2. You boot Uboot direct from SATA1:
+ The advantage there is you can leave the nand and the case totaly untouched. and boot up everything via sata or usb (later maybe sd), and you don't need an TFTP
- The disadvantage: You need a special Uboot for this, and I've not compiled the right Uboot yet, so no: netconsole and no access to any storage so far.
On the USB 3.0 front:
USB 3.0 and Cardreader are both connected to a Etron EJ168A chip. And there are a few bugs reported for this chip, but I have to look into the reports.

Re: Debian on Shuttle KD20 (PLX OXNAS 7821)
If you "hacked" into your device you can just backup the nand with dd, if not you can do this from debian or from just ask me for my nand backup :-)
Befor you start:
+Connect to the UART and see if you can access vedors uboot
+Make bootdisk (sata or usb) a rootfs partition (ext2 o. ext3) and extract my wheezy_rootfs or bodhi's oxnas rootfs (both will work)
Rrecommended:
+ Prepare a TFTP server with uImage (Kernel), Initrd_w, and rootfs
+ Make familiar with uboot commands
Process to debian:
1 Boot into vendors Uboot and interrupt the boot via UART
(1.5 Backup the bootargs (simply printenv -> copy&past to file) or it's backup within the nand)
2. Change the bootargs:
[code="setenv bootargs root=/dev/sdb1 console=ttyS0,115200 mem=256M poweroutage=yes"]
[/code]
To make this permanet:
Here your rootfs is sdb1, a better why here would be use labels or uuid but I had sometimes problems with that. But the sdx are not given strait forward, so just have a try.
It makes no difference if it is usb or sata here.
3. Load your uImage and Initrd, maybe you can load these files form sata(ext2) via ext2load but I never tried.
Here for tftp:
If your tftp ip is given by dhcp, you can skip 3.1
3.1 Set up IP's:
3.2 Load files:
4. Boot it:
Now you Debian should boot up.
If it you get a Kernel Panic and it cant find rootfs, go back to step 2 and change rootfs location
For now you have not touched the nand (besides the bootargs)
I you like to write the kernel & initrd to nand you ca do this via:
If more questions rise feel free to ask, but ask google as well :-)
Just try few things out, even If you erased the nand complet you can bring things back via sataboot

Shouldn't backup NAND with dd, always use nanddump (safer).

On the mainboard of Omninas i do not have any pin to connect uart cable(console).
Do I have to solder this pins for console ?

YES, you have to solder them or just pin the conectors:

Hi Guys,
Very nice work.
I look forward hacking my K20.
But I would like to do it would out soldering.
Is there a way I just replace the system partition?
If no choice I would like to find a more detailed step by step (instructibles for example) on how to replace the Uboot.
But again, very nice work!
:D

Re: Debian on Shuttle KD20 (PLX OXNAS 7821)
Hey,
@DeDenker:
You don't have to replace the uboot. I work with stock Uboot.
But you need a way to access it, and there for a serial connection via UART is simply the best. The soldering is not a too hard task and by the way there are "ways" to do such a connection without soldering. Just a thought here: https://hackingecibfocusv2fubirevb.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/a-solder-free-uart-connection/
You might can go without UART, if you have ssh access to the vendors system you can change uboot settings form vendors linux system.
BUT: If something in the uboot is not right configured you need the serial connection, to fix this.
@all
I opend the KD20 month ago, and have not colsed it again. So I can't remember every step, but I used crossers pictures to see a way to open it, and it was not too hard.
As I see you have some issues with opening and uart I try to get a full SATA boot (uboot, kernel, uimage, rootfs from disk), and set the usb3.0 / cardreader issue back.

Re: Debian on Shuttle KD20 (PLX OXNAS 7821)
Okay, load things from usb will not work, from sata you can load data.
These errors comes most of the time from bad network settings.
As your server has really the IP 213.x.x.x, this might not to be right.
The tftp server should be in the same network so 192.168.1.x so check your tftp server settings, and the dhcp server.
May be its easyer to set the ip static :-)
