But the marvell chip 88F5182 in the TS-7800 is ARMv5TE, so it could
work, AFAIK. Should work also with Fedora-ARM, which also chose ARMv5
as a baseline minimum.
BTW, there is a nice article about the orion support in the upcoming
kernel 2.6.25:
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5637467946.html
It talks about the TS-7800, and the many COTS NAS devices using the
orion chips. As somebody else wrote, there are lots of dedicated
communities working on kernel & distro support for this chip, so
TS-7800 hackers should have lots of resources ....
