AVR Commands


The AVR controls the hardware such as power button and LED of the LinkStation.
It is connected to /dev/ttyS1.
  • To control the hardware, send commands to it.
  • When you push the power button or initialize button, it sends a corresponding command to the PPC.

    Commands to the AVR

    To send commands to the AVR,
    linkstation # echo -n "commands" > /dev/ttyS1
