Warning : Opening your WDTV Live Streaming device will void its warranty !
To open your WDTV Live Streaming Gen3, first find the screw under the back label (near the mac address). Use a Torx size T10 screwdriver . Unscrew and push the screw to open the case.
You must use a RS232 to TTL converter to connect your computer to the WDTV Live. The converter transforms +9V/-9V RS232 signal to 0V/3.3V TTL.
The TX WDTV must be connected to the RX computer and the RX WDTV must be connected to the TX computer.
Transfer parameters : 115200 baud, 8bits, no parity, no control flux.
Western blocked input so you can’t use Yamon option or bash command. (except in special cases that i will explain in a next post…)
But how do I connect the RS232 to my PC .. there must be another RS232 to usb convertor, right?
I’m looking forward to your work on the Gen3. Keep up the good work.
