Forewords
Flash a new bootloader or firmware AT YOUR OWN RISKS, be aware that you can bricked your nas. Un-bricking can in the best case be achieved thanks to a serial console but can require a JTAG access.
I have developped this NAS oriented openWRT based firmware with:
- Linux Kernel 3.0.4 (thanks to Tobias Waldvogel)
- NFS/SAMBA/RSYNC/USHARE servers
- LUCI web user interface
- USB/HARD DISK external boot
- optional packages
Packages and Images
OpenWRT packages and images repository
| Version | Location | Packages |
|---|---|---|
| Trunk | http://opengemini.free.fr/openwrt/trunk/cs351x/ | Packages |
Install OpenWRT (packaged per vendor upgrade)
Use these images to install OpenWRT for the first time on your device.
Download an appropiate image from
the repository and go through your vendor normal firmware upgrade.

Upgrade OpenWRT firmware from Luci web interface (sysupgrade)
If required, use sysupgrade images for a device ALREADY running OpenWRT

Enjoy OpenWrt
Because not everyone has a runing DHCP server at home, I made the default IP addresses static
first ethernet : 192.168.1.250 second ethernet : 192.168.2.250 (for systems like the Planex MZK-NAS02SG with dual gigabit)
Also, I disabled firewalling and ethernet bridging by default because a NAS is not meant for that in a local network
Revert from OpenWRT to the original vendor firmware
I provided images to flash from the Openwrt web interface to get back to a vendor state.
| Brand | Product | File | Test |

| Edimax | NS-250X | images-openwrt2edimax-ns250x.bin once re-flashed the default NAS IP is 192.168.1.250 (change your subnet!) | OK |
