Hi guys,
I like syncthing a lot. I need a lightweight and powerful device to play with syncthing. Router runs openwrt seems quite attractive for me.They are cheap, small size, powerful(sometimes), low power consumption, runs 24 x 7, internet connectivity is a must.
So, our team launched WiTi board project which is designed to be a home data center. We start an indiegogo campaign a week ago. We successfully raised $15000 in a week.
The board is very powerful, It has:
- Dual-Core CPU MIPS 1004kc 880MHz(4 thread)
- Dual Band WiFi(2.4G+5G)
- Very large storage space, SATA3.0 x2,USB3.0,USB2.0(through expansion ports),and MicroSD card
I know syncthing very early at go-nuts. What is disappointed me is the official golang team decides only supports ARM/X86_64, No MIPS!!.So I gave up syncthing for a while and trying to find a replacement, but I canโt find one. Iโve tried OwnCloud for a week, I have to say i donโt like it. Itโs to heavy for me. Syncthing is still the only one meet my needs and make me want to use it daily.
Everyone knows MIPS architecture is dominating the router market currently and there is a lot potential users for syncthing.Nearly every home and office needs one router, right? I like golang a lot, i decide to port syncthing to our MIPS router.
Thanks to gccgo, We can make it happen now! After trying a lot of hours, I finally make it happen and here is the proof.
Command Line (1/2)
Ignore the errors which i intended to print it out, syncthing is actually working for me
Opensource
Iโd like to release all the sources to let everybody can use syncthing on there router. The source include the OpenWRT building system, you can build everything from scratch include GCC itself! A modified version syncthing, and a build guide. I will prepare it ASAP.
