Description

Buffalo LinkStation Live is a Network Attached Storage built in DLNA Server, desined for home networking to share your documents, pictures, movie and music over a network.

You can store contents from network computers or using the one touch direct copy function, that is a means of taking pictures or movies from your digital camera, camcorder and storage device via USB port directly.

  • 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet with JumboFrame support
  • Access your data from any Windows or Macintosh computers

GPL Kernel

  • Can't use stock distro, use Debian
  • After compiling the kernel with ls-chl support and appropriate modules, run the following commands: 
 devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c0B,4' 'wl 0xe3811061,4'
 cat foo arch/arm/boot/zImage > zImage.new
 mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'linux' -d zImage.new uImage.buffalo
  • For correct fan support, the gpio-fan module needs to be enabled and the following script, or similar, set to run on startup: 
#! /bin/sh
#
#  fan-temperature control daemon - fannydee
#
#  this script checks the hdd temp on any LS-PPC that is running avr_evtd
#  and has hddtemp installed.  If the temperature is greater than the
#  defined limit, it kicks the fan up to high speed.
#
#  After the checkperiod elapses, it checks again.  If the temperature is
#  below that limit, then it drops it back to low speed.
#
#
#  In /etc/fannyd.conf, mak sure you define your devices that you want to check the temperature on
#  e.g.  /dev/hda  or /dev/sda , the temperature limit, time check, etc.
#  You can declare more than one hard drive, but that is not a likely situation.
