Fnnas

fnnas is a Debian-based network attached storage operating system and deployment framework designed to transform x86 and Arm64 hardware into private storage servers. It provides a custom operating system image builder and a kernel compilation tool for building and packaging specific kernels and device tree blobs for various hardware platforms.

The project includes a hardware-specific deployer that maps device models to required bootloaders and kernel tags. It features an eMMC backup and recovery tool to save factory system images from internal storage and restore them to revert system changes.

The system covers embedded hardware management, including LED display control, virtual memory allocation, and system partition configuration. It also supports remote system updating via SSH with automatic backup and rollback mechanisms.
