Most Add-ons are done by third parties. You need to remember that the x-86 system has been out for five years while the ARM system has been out for less than one year. It is unlikely that the ARM community will have as many add-ons as it is considered an entry level system rather than the high end Pro line for which most add-ons have been developed. (Mid range x-86 units benefit from those add ons because the vast majority of them run on all x-86 boxes, including the discontinued 32bit NVX units).
The third parties developing these add-ons are users of units employing the architecture. A member (super-poussin) recently posted in another thread that he has 15 add-ons he is testing for the ARM based units. He developed a lot of the third party add-ons for the x-86 units. Development and enhancements of the ARM based system will continue by Netgear. This can be seen by the recent release of ReadyDrop for the ARM based units which has yet to be released for the x-86 units. The ARM based units also got the new Frontview interface (version 5) before the x-86 units which have yet to get it.
