What`s the firmimg.bin?
The stock kernel + the ramdisk is stored inside the firmimg.bin.
The ramdisk implements EM-Mode.
What's the purpose of these firmimg.bins?
The stock firmimg.bin does NOT have telnet + ftp enabled.
These firmimg.bin files here are enhanced versions which have telnet + ftp enabled.
Only the ramdisks were enhanced, so they were designed for the stock bootloader, NOT for UBoot.
The root-password was removed, so it is able to connect to the Linkstation while in EM-Mode.
This makes it possible to fix various problems that normaly would lock you out of the box
and that would demand a complete reflash via the firmware updater.
EM-Screenshot
There are several folders which explain which model the specific firmimg.bin was made for.
It is important that only a proper firmimg.bin is used.
Using the wrong firmimg.bin may lead to a brick or may change the box model.
Compatibility list
| Model | Compatible firmimg.bin |
| LS1 | LS1 |
| HG | HG , HS |
| HS | HG , HS |
As the HG and the HS Model only differ in the Software (Kernel/Ramdisk) it is possible to
convert a HG to a HS or a HS to a HG.
Do not flash firmimg.bin for fun!
If anything goes wrong your box maybe recoverable only via JTAG.
Info about Unbricking/JTAG
If your box really becomes a brick it is possible to unbrick the box again:
- Kuroguy`s unbricking service
- Create a JTAG cable on your own
These firmimg.bin files will be bundled with OpenLink/FreeLink images soon.
Have fun!
