What do you mean by "ARM-based server" here ? I don't sure<br>
I understand. Does this product include some tiny ARM server?<br>
Do you have access to this server by telnet/ssh, and is there a BSP<br>
open source package ? I see you have ethernet connection there.<br>
I look in WD site, and I don't see that they mention an ARM<br>
based server there:<br>

Can you please give a link/elaborate about the product you are talking about ?<br>
