 * This has been packaged up as a image.dat suitable for flashing.

Installed applications: gcc libc-dev libc6-dev make nano avr_evtd ssh
 * FreeLink for MIPSel:download
 * From the Forums: Freelink for the mips - Testers required
 * Refer to The LinkStation firmware flasher article for Firmware Updater HowTos.
 * Info about this:
 * image.dat password = 1NIf_2yUOlRDpYZUVNqboRpMBoZwT4PzoUvOPUp6l (As required by the firmware updater)
 * It has a static IP assigned to 192.168.11.150
 * root password = "freelink"
 * ssh enabled (no telnet as default)
 * avr_evtd ver 1.61 - Fully functioning including s/w shutdown/restart, emergency telnet on port 1234 (just two clicks of the reset button).
 * Note: The operation of the reset button for the avr_evtd daemon has changed. This now, with proper setup, allows the user to enter EM-Mode.  Please refer to AVR watch-dog daemon for Linkstation for more information.
