[edit] Circuit Board

The PCB used in the TS-109 seems to be a "Marvell Development Board (LSP Version 1.10.3_DB_NAS)-- RD-88F5182-NAS-2 Soc: 88F5182 A2".

This board seems to be part of Marvell's Media Vault Processor suite of products.

It has:

• Marvell 88F5182 A2 CPU at 500Mhz
• 2 Marvell USB EHCI Host controllers
• A 16550A Serial Interface
• 1 Marvell Gigabit Ethernet
• 2 Marvell SCSI to SATA adapters

TS-109/209 are "based on Marvell 5182 SoCs". This is the exact same CPU used in:

• Maxtor MSS II
• Linkstation Pro
• Terastation Pro V2!

[edit] Adding software ( NSLUG2 )

Since the CPU is common to Maxtor Shared Storage II (MSII), the procedures for adding software to MSII can also be used fot adding software to Qnap TS-109 and TS-209.
