NAS Forum

Does anyone know if this is possible? I think a small overclock would certainly help the SAMBA performance of the NAS1000/2000.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was really hoping there would be a soft (linux) mod that could do the trick. I seem to recall that this has been done on Windows Mobile devices.

Again thanks for the reply.

You say in an early post that there is a 3/2 ratio which gives 174MHz from a 116MHZ ABH.

However, this link for the NAS1000-B shows the ratio as only 1/1:

Do you think that maybe the CPU on the NAS1000-B is only running at 116MHZ?

I am wondering if this can be handled during the redboot bootloader process.

I have had a dig around the NAS4220 bootloader that is downloadable from the RaidSonic website.

The hal_sl2312.c file looks important "Handle CPU Setting" and in this file we see references to ratios of 1:1, 3:2, 2:1 etc.

Another important file appears to be board_config.h "Define board-dependent configuration".

Looking at sys_main.c the #include# entries reference sl2312.h and board_config.h so these seem to be key files.

To be honest I have a lot to learn here and do not fully understand this too well at this stage.

I suppose the important question is whether or not these files are configured as they are because of the hardware present, or if the files actually define the parameters for the hardware to follow. When it comes down to it - if we were to edit these files, would we be able to alter parameters like Ratio for example?

I am still concerned that the NAS1000 is only running at 116MHz. This may be why the NAS2000 has a heatink on the CPU. Hopefully there is a way to at least get the NAS1000 running at 174MHz.

Any advice?

Yes, I quoted by mistake. I was trying to edit but clicked the wrong button.

My German is not the best!

I have found another log (dmesg) for the NAS1000 and this shows 3/2 ratio.

Very confused.

I suppose I'll have to figure how to see the boot process for my own NAS1000.
