Debian on WD My Cloud (1 reply)

Recently, I came into the possession of a WD My Cloud storage device (without a hard drive)
I had a look inside:

• MV88F6720 (Armada 375) CPU, possibly dual-core
• 512MiB RAM
• Gigabit ethernet
• USB3
• SATA
• 1MiB flash (for u-boot)

Naturally, I now want to put Debian on it. The stock firmware (stored on the hard drive, which I don't have) was based on Debian Wheezy and had an ancient kernel. I did however make images of the partitions from another device, so I have something to work with there. I'm hoping to run something more current on it, hopefully bodhi's image and kernel, and will document my progress here :)

Boot log, u-boot help and printenv:
