The Linkstation HG AVR

Hardware Information

Basic Information

The AVR in the HG Linkstation is an AT90S2313-4SC. This is a cheap 4 MHz AVR with 2k program space and 128 EEPROM.

CN4 is a 6 pin ISP header that can be used to read/program the AVR with a cheap device such as a usbtiny that can be purchased as a kit/assembled from various hobby electronics websites.

Pin assignment for the HGAVR

The AVR used in HG is actually a Freescale part of part number MC68HC908JL8CDW
The pin assignment and its functions used in HG is listed in the following table:

PIN SIGNAL Description PIN SIGNAL Description
1 ZIRQ CN3.3 28 ZRST CN3.4
2 PTA0 DIAG LED 27 PTA5 Power switch input
3 VSS CN3.6 / CN3.9 26 PTD4 Fan pulse input for status checking
4 OSC1 CN3.1 25 PTD5 HRST (CN5.13)
5 OSC2 - 24 PTD2 Control 12V feed to the main switching power via TR5, TR3
6 PTA1 Disk full LED 23 PTA4 Reset switch input
7 VDD CN3.2 22 PTD3 Fan speed control via TR2,TR1
8 PTA2 Power LED green 21 PTB0 CN3.5
9 PTA3 Power LED yellow 20 PTB1 CN3.10
10 PTB7 NC 19 PTD1 IDE reset / TRST (CN5.4 via R66)
11 PTB6 NC 18 PTB2 CN3.7
12 PTB5 NC 17 PTB3 CN3.8
13 RXD Connects to /dev/ttyS1 16 PTD0 Flash reset (ZRP on IC8.12)
14 TXD Connects to /dev/ttyS1 15 PTB4 NC

Interaction With AVR In Linux

The AVR controls much of the LinkStation hardware, including the power button and LED indicator. It is controlled by the commands sent to /dev/ttyS1. To send commands to the AVR: 

echo -n "commands" > /dev/ttyS1
Command Action/Code
\30\30\30\30 Stops smbd and atalkd if /dev/hda3 is not mounted to /mnt. Sent by /www/script/melsub_diskcheck.sh.
[[[[ Starts slowly blinking power LED (sleep).
]]]] High-speed cooling fan rotation.
\\\\ Low-speed cooling fan rotation.
>>>> Unknown. Sent by ppc_uartd on boot.
AAAA Unknown. Sent by ppc_uartd on boot.
CCCC Sent by shutdown -r now (reboot).
EEEE Sent by shutdown -h now (halt).
FFFF Unknown. Sent by ppc_uartd on boot.
JJJJ Unknown. Sent by ppc_uartd on boot.
KKKK Unknown. Sent by ppc_uartd on boot.
QQQQ Unknown. Sent by ppc_uartd on set timer.
RRRR End of clear flash memory.
SSSS Start of clear flash memory and /www/script/melsub_init.sh. Sent by /www/script/melsub_flash.sh.
TTTT Flash memory update completed (stops blinking power, disk full, and diagnostic LEDs).
UUUU Flash memory update started (starts blinking power, disk full, and diagnostic LEDs).
VVVV Turns off disk full LED.
WWWW Turns on disk full LED.
XXXX Stops blinking disk full LED.
YYYY Starts blinking disk full LED.
ZZZZ Stops slowly blinking power LED. Sent by ppc_uartd.
gggg Diagnostic LED blinks 3 times and system shutdown (partition error).
iiii Diagnostic LED blinks 4 times and system shutdown (cooling fan error).
kkkk Diagnostic LED blinks 5 times and system powers off (flash memory error).
mmmm Diagnostic LED blinks 6 times and system shutdown (hard drive or ppc_uartd error).
oooo Diagnostic LED blinks 7 times and system shutdown (RAM, NIC, or HDD controller error).
