Developer Markus Probst has submitted patches to the Linux kernel mailing list introducing a new Rust-based driver for Synology NAS devices. The Synology Microp driver targets the microcontroller connected via serial port, enabling support for LEDs, fan speed control, a beeper, and shutdown/restart handling in mainline Linux. An initial v1 patch was posted Friday, followed quickly by a v2 with fixes on Sunday. This builds on Probst's earlier work writing the first LED Linux driver in Rust.
