Fujitsu abandoned their Celvin NAS customers. The proprietary software is over 10 years old. And worse, Fujitsu had an app store to get apps that were not part of the stock stock distro, like a bittorrent app, which are no longer reachable.
The hardware uses a Marvell arm SOC. FreeNAS is x86 only. QNAP has some fairly recent distros that may be compatible. It’s proprietary and perhaps somewhat risky. What are the chances that a QNAP image from 2024 bricks my Fujitsu from 2013?
Is QNAP my only option, or is there a FOSS option? There are at least 15 FOSS NAS platforms:

but I have no idea if any are built for a Marvell arm SOC. Anyone know?
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.
