LinkStation Live™ with BitTorrent

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. Stored data can be shared on your network and a built-in DLNA media server can stream it to a PC, a MAC, a Buffalo LinkTheater an other DLNA CERTIFIED™ entertainment devices. Our Web Access feature enables you to access your data and media stored in the LinkStation via the interenet by computuers and iPhone's. With a built-in BitTorrent Client, LinkStation can download content without the requirement to keep your PC powered up.

Intelligent Power Saving functions, timer power on/off and auto power on/off with your Windows PC all help towards power saving and eco in mind.

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 (updated for Wheezy), or similar, set to run on startup (/usr/sbin/fannyd):

#! /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.   

. /etc/fannyd.conf
HDDT=`which hddtemp`
      while : ; do

              for  A in $DEVICES ; do
                      TEMPERATURE=$($HDDT -n $A)
                      if [ $TEMPERATURE -gt $TEMPLIMITONE ]; then
                              if [ $TEMPERATURE -gt $TEMPLIMITTWO ]; then
                                      if [ $TEMPERATURE -gt $TEMPLIMITTHREE ]; then
                                              echo 5000 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/fan1_target
                                              sleep 40
                                      else

                      else
                              sleep 60     # overcompensate w/ 1 min of extra fan time
                              echo 0 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/fan1_target
