NAS DS-213+, qoriq arch

[NightFalcon650]

Ubuntu 14.10 and spksrc installed
NAS: DS-213+
Arch: Qoriq

I'm trying to cross compile node.js for my nas but i get the message that it's not supported.

Why isn't my nas supported?
And when would it be supported or could someone make a work around so it's possible to install on my nas???

Hereś the readout:

I made a noarch spk and installed it on my DS-213+, but can't say if it works like it's supose to do, how can i check this???

I also see in the makefile that qoriq arch isn't mentioned, why is this?

Node.js isn't supported for qoriq: https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/blob/develop/cross/node/Makefile#L19

[NightFalcon650]

I've seen that but why isn't it supported??
Is this support planned for the feature???

Qoriq (Freescale PowerPC e500 series) doesn't have all the instructions necessary to compile Node/V8. Because it's a limitation in the CPU architecture, I don't think this will be solved anytime soon.

[knut-forkalsrud]

There is an in depth discussion about the shortcomings of the CPU here:
ibmruntimes/v8ppc#100

[Dr-Bean]

Right. Seeing as there's not much we can do from here, let's close this. Keep an eye on the progress over there, maybe it'll be fixed one day.

This is an old thread, but I'm trying to install Node.js on my qoriq DS413 and desperately need advice. I had thought it was just going to be a bit of work, but after reading this thread -- is it not possible to compiled Node.js on a qoriq device? The route I was taking was trying to install gcc 4.8 or later (which nodejs requires) and then doing a native complie of Node.js. Am I wasting my time? E.g., I'm currently stuck on getting gcc 4.8 installed. (ipkg will only install 3.4.6).

[knut-forkalsrud]

If you refer to the V8 issue I referred to above you'll find that "there are 117 locations in the code that need to be changed to make this work (if we disable crankshaft)". This is to work around missing instructions in the CPU.
