Nov 22, 2018 - Third party firmware supported: Debian. Flags: RTC w/ battery. Iomega StorCenter ix2-200, Cloud Edition Network Storage. Product page.


This tutorial uses unsupported features of the IOMEGA Storcenter ix4-200d. It worked for me but use it at your own risk! It should work (again, it is unsupported) on the ix2 Storcenter as well.
Tutorial tested on IOMEGA Storcenter ix4-200d firmware 3.1.14.995
The aim of the tutorial is to be able to add programs to you NAS without having to go too deep in the system. This is also helpful to compile natively on the NAS without needing to cross compile for your architecture..
1. SSH into your NAS
See my other post: How to ssh into your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d
2. Directory Structure on the NAS
The Lifeline OS (Iomega's OS) does put most of the root file system in read only mode. It is not much use to try to put stuff there anyway because the partitition is very small
You can type: to see the partitions and their mountpoint.
The idea seems to be that third party programs should be installed in the /opt/ directory, which has ample storage (16GB) whereas root (/) only has 50MB.
3. Use ipkg

ipkg is intalled by default in the Iomega storcenter. We just need to specify the right place to find the packages: Then type: to build the list of available packages.
The problem of this setup is that you won't be able to install some packages because installation will fail because part of the filesystem is readonly.
Thanks to ipkg, there is an easy fix: This installs the binary /opt/bin/ipkg-opt. The idea is then to use this binary instead of the regular ipkg: as a result all packages will be installed in /opt/ and you won't run into problems with the read only filesystem.
The only drawback is that /opt/bin/ is not in your path.. There is a simple remedy for that: Note: this is not persistent (if you start another shell, you will need to do that again).
Also, as a one time persistent thing, I recommand to do
and add
at the end. That's the main problem with /opt installed software: you might end up to get duplicated libraries between /lib and /opt/lib (ldd and ldconfig are your friends).
You also need to do:
so that you config in /etc/ipkg.conf remains useable with /opt/bin/ipkg and /opt/bin/ipkg-opt
Then type:
to setup the list of available packages for /opt/bin/ipkg /opt/bin/ipkg-opt
4. Install utilities and optware-devel
First install the utilities you miss to do some actual linux stuff:
If you want a full gcc toolchain to compile your own applications from source.
The compilation can be slow but this allows you to natively compile on your NAS (I think it is simpler because there is no need to set up cross compiling on another box)..
5. Install armel/debian compiled software

You can then either compile your own software (see next point) or get some ready-made debian archives..
In this case, I suggest to use the following command (for example for libsigc++-2.0-dev):
Note: do not use /tmp/ as the space available there is very small..
Note2: be careful to choose packages compiled for your architecture (armel in my case)! The above command will install your soft as if /opt/ was the root directory (you will end up with /opt/usr/lib directories and the like). As a result, you might need to add stuff in your PATH or edit /etc/ld.so.conf.

Be careful not to make a mess of your system or you will soon end up with several times the same library (with different versions) at different locations.. You will need to sort this manually(ln, rm..)
6. Compile from source
For example, a very classic install for libnfnetlink: Note: to get bzip2 to work I had to do before the tar -xvf: Another example using svn
Don't forget the --prefix=/opt to specifiy you want to install your package.
UpdateWhen compiling from source, you run into the usual complation problems you can get with linux (libraries/includes not found etc..). It gets even more annoying because default stuff does not work well anymore (package manager is not where expected etc), and sometimes you end up having to specify the complie flags yourself.
For example, I recently had to edit the configure script of a source tarball to add: -dev packages can be difficult to find with ipkg, this is where you often need to get a .deb package or compile the library from source just to get the header files right..
7. Conclusion
As you noticed, it is just a matter of using the tools (and using them right). It just gets a little bit more complicated because the usual package manager does not work out of the box, the procedure is unsupported by the hardware vendor and precompiled packages can be difficult to find for armel..
