I have this machine with 4 x ARM11 MPCore, it works like a charm. I use it to test exactly this kind of stuff, I know if a kernel works on ARM11MPCore it works on anything because of how fragile it is. > So it seems to come down to a question about CNS3xxx and OXNAS.

I don't especially need to keep the ARM11MPCore machine alive, it is just a testchip after all. The Oxnas is another story, that has wide deployment and was contributed recently (2016) and has excellent support in OpenWrt so I wouldn't really want to axe that. Yours, Linus Walleij
