Links to instructions for installing TrueNAS with front panel display capability on some ReadyNAS
For those looking to install an alternate OS on their RN42x, 52x, or 62x unit, here is a link to some very good instructions on installing TrueNAS Scale: https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/comments/1o...

Thanks for the links Sandshark, I didn't know about either of those.
portalman, the second one covers your Pro6. The Pro6 LCD isn't GPIO at all, it's a serial device on /dev/ttyS1 with a simple text protocol, and berouques' scripts already drive it under Debian and OMV. Worth a try on one of your test mules.
The fmor kernel module covers the Ultra 4 (LCD, LEDs and buttons) and has a fork for the RN314. I'll link all of these from my porting docs so people with those models find the right project. Mine stays focused on the 52x/62x route from my last post.

I believe the one for the Ultra4 is also appropriate to the Ultra6, and may be for the Pro6, too. I really haven't looked at them very deeply, as I'm not there yet with OMV.
