Comment on Are there any FOSS NAS servers for a Marvell arm SOC?

Do you know exactly which SoC it uses?
It’s probably a 32-bit ARM processor. Most NAS-focused operating systems have removed support for these, if they even supported them at all. OpenMediaVault recently removed support for 32-bit ARM and only support 64-bit now: www.openmediavault.org/?p=4002.
Having said that, some OSes still support them. You should be able to get Debian running if it’s an ARMv7 CPU or newer. Debian did support older ones, but they’re being phased out and no longer build an installer for them.

The specs say it’s Marvell 6281 1.2GHz… not sure what that is but the search leads to some deeper specs for a RISC CPU that is both 32bit and 16bit. The info is dicey because “6281” does not appear in those docs. In any case, I suspect you’re right, that it’s not 64 bit.
