ReadyNas NV+ Development > Questions (Regarding: Frontview / Device Source Code)
Hey the Netgear Commmunity
I would like to do some development on the ReadyNas NV+ V1 like if EOL and old but still functinal.
Although there is still some bug fixes firmwares coming out, i dont think any huge update will be done.
Frontview:
I would like to redesign the Frontview and make more modern lol (from what i see from the folder contain html, css, js ...),
So is there any information that could be provided on how everything connect together (a little backgroud story to give and idea), also any additinal information that could be helpfull.
Device Source Code:
The provided source is the kernel and addons right ? Is it possible to build the os from scratch or not ? What exacly missing etc ?

The javascript is a good start, although it's pretty cryptic. Most of the magic happens by making GET/POST requests to get_handler/. Most likely you'll want to use something like Google Chrome's web inspector, or Charles Proxy to watch the network requests go by and see how they work.

thx didnt notice that. should make thing a little easier
These are very old devices now.
The GPL includes the kernel and other open source software that we use. If you want GPL code used in add-ons you should contact the add-on developer.
There are some practical limitations that would mean building your own OS for the NV+ is not worth even trying.
The hardware is very old and slow, and compiling for it takes a long time.

true facts, they are for sure old, i have one laying here and been fooling aroud with it at the moment, thought would be fun to hack into it.On a other note is there a way to do apt-get upgrade without it braking frontview and ssh connection? (tried a few time and shares were still accessible over the network, but had to reset it because of the issues above.
