Kernel headers for ReadyNAS OS 6.4 RN104
Good morning, Apologies if this has been posted twice, I received an error when posting, and yet I can't seem to find it I am attempting to build driver modules for DVB-T USB devices, using t...
I cannot answer your question about the kernel headers, but I think you have to recompile the kernel anyway as the Netgear kernel does not support DVB (at least until 6.3.5).
Also, I think you'll have to use the Netgear variant of the kernel source (copy the correct Netgear kernel config), not the Debian variant (because of kernel symbols, as I understand, but maybe that changed in 6.4.0 too).
I made a little recepe here for using HDHomerun (last post, ): https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Q-compiling-kernel-modules-on-OS6-dvb-hdhomerun/m-p/867251
This is confirmed to work on 6.3.3 and on 6.3.5.
I've read rumours that the boot code/process changed in 6.4.0 so I don't know whether the process to replace the kernel is still the same. And I have no intention to downgrade from 6.3.5 to 6.4.0.
Be sure to read and understand the warnings in the post: if it goes wrong, your NAS probably will not boot again, ever.

Just wanted to emphazise: the link in the precious post concerns a x86 system. For other systems, you probably need a Netgear kernel config file from a different arch.
