Flashing your NSLU2 via a Mac – upslug2 binary

In: Uncategorized

24 Feb 2009

If you’re reading this, there’s a reasonable chance you came here via Google I guess… ;-)

I recently got hold of a NSLU2 (aka the ‘Slug’), which is a nifty little linksys box that serves as a NAS server. It’s particularly nifty because with some custom firmware, you can flash it to a full Linux ARM distribution, such as Debian 5.0 Lenny, as detailed on this page. Now, the process is pretty simple, and involves the use of a utility called ‘upslug2′. While upslug2 is available in binary form for Windows and PPC OSX, it’s not available in binary form for Intel OSX, which means you have to download XCode and compile it yourself. Not tricky, but it IS a 900MB download just to compile one app!

Fear not, the solution is here…

Simply click on this link to download a zipped upslug2 binary for Intel OSX.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the binary, mate. I got problem compiling upslug2-11 from source with Xcode 3.1.2 and macports 1.71. If you can please fix the default Ethernet device from eth0 to en0 in the source. Thanks! :D

C'mon, is it REALLY that hard to specify it? ;-)

I actually sold my slug, but i'm leaving this here for posterity… :-P

It's not that hard, but it's a bonus for simplicity. I wonder why it doesn't compile. Thanks anyway :)
