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/bash
#
# 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.
source /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
echo 3250 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/fan1_target
sleep 40
fi
else
echo 1500 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/fan1_target
sleep 40
fi
else
sleep 60 # overcompensate w/ 1 min of extra fan time
echo 0 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/fan1_target
fi
done
done
exit 0
- Sample /etc/fannyd.conf
# config file for fan-temperature control daemon - fannydee # # After the checkperiod elapses, it checks again.
