--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. USAGE:
The avr-evtd daemon is aimed at the Buffalo series of Linkstation and
Kurobox. This replaces the existing ppc_uartd daemon. The daemon
configures the AVR and provides the necessary 'keep-alives' to the AVR
watchdog timer.
The daemon also checks that the /mnt and / filesystems are within
scope (disk space remaining) and also monitors the power button and
the 'red' reset button. These button events are turned into requests
into the EventScript. This allows a user to control what occurs
(system wise) when an event is received. The same script is also used
by the timer shutdown process.
2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Linkstation or equivalent. Either stock or custom kernel and either
standard or Debian distribution.
3.INSTALLATION:
If you have the GCC tools installed, rebuild and install the process
by typing:
make
make install
Remove the current start and shutdown symbolic links for the
ppc_uartd:
update-rc.d -f ppc_uartd remove
Create the new symbolic links:
update-rc.d avr-evtd start 12 2 . stop 95 0 6 .
This daemon can use either the existing melco provided files or a
custom configuration file. This custom file should exist within the
/etc/default directory. Just edit the sample file contained there and
move:
mv avr-evtd.sample avr-evtd
4. CREDITS:
The Linkstation and Kuro communities.
5. REVISION HISTORY:
1.7.2 Script corrections to the ip control and routing check.
Other changes to daemon to allow script to run in background
to improve performance. New event 'S' added to indicate
5 minute shutdown warning.
1.7.1 Some minor corrections to the parser. Changes to the keep
alive mechanism to allow user control over the disk full LED.
1.7 Early additions for ntp time creep. Allow box to run without
fan. A bit more code reduction. Allow the user to specify
checked drive partitions so to cater for those with customised
drives.
1.6.3 Minor code changes to 'round' up disk usage calculations.
Changes to configuration file, more readable. Added
control over location of debug log files. Changed the
'special event' to flash the DISK FULL LED to provide
some form of feedback of selected mode.
1.6.2 Changes to EventScript to correct telnet session launch
and to add launching of the apservd firmware updater
daemon.
1.6.1 More code reduction. Error reporting changed. Updated
man pages to reflect changes. Corrections to EM-Mode
for the MIPS. Corrections to scripts for shutdown/reboot.
Added fan speedup on shutdown/reboot.
1.6 Changes to many things again. Improved timer sleep
resolution. Addition of paused shutdown. Reducing
CPU loading. Bug fixes to macro'd timer modes. Corrected
AVR message 0x31. Added EM-Mode to the event script
and changed mode of the reset button. Changed the fan
fault to provide a scripted shutdown path - following
reported fan failures on my HG.
1.5 Changes to almost everything. Added macro'd power
on/off events to allow multiple on/off events each
day. Days can be grouped (if similar times) or removed
if the unit is not required to be powered on. More
control added to refresh rates and power hold down
cycles. Control over disk full event messages added.
Minor bugs in shutdown timer corrected to allow shutdown
for the following day of power on. Standard SHUTDOWN
and POWERON now operate as default times if no macro
times are specified. Can be removed if no default is
required. Double reset event added to launch telnet
daemon. Fan monitoring added. Many more changes made
too.
1.4 Changes to the EventScript for the MIPS with
debian loads. Changes to the Makefile to add proper
install process and creation of an Install directory
containing all the other parts of the package. Slight
corrections to the daemon and addition of NO_MELCO
compilier option to reduce build if melco scripts are not
used.
1.3 Modified the start and event scripts to pick up UART
device from kernel. Output fan fault messages and
attempt slow down after 5 minutes.
1.2 Few more typo's fixed. Added MIPSEL support and
changed the makefile to autodetect the device.Changed
the operation such that the defered configuration files
are the melco ones. If /etc/melco is removed, then the
/etc/default/avr_evtd configuration files are used. These
are also monitored for timer update. Added configuration
for the remaining disk warning and extracted event out
to the EventScript.
1.1 Renamed from ppc to avr. Cleaned some typo's from
this document.
Changes to EventScript to add comments and add three
new events (7, 8 and 9).
Changes to avr_evtd launch script for comments and
try and decode UART required from the machine name.
Release (1.0)
6. KNOW ISSUES:
None known.
Tested now on PPC, MIPS and KURO systems with 2.4 and 2.6 releases of
the kernel. Also tested under stock, openlink and freelink versions
of the updated firmware.
