TFTP installation instructions

You need to attach a serial console to the unpopulated 4-pin header near the LEDs. With the front of the device facing towards you, the pinout is: GND - TXD - ? - RXD. The settings are 57600 8N1 and you should see a bunch of messages immediately after start.

  • Using the terminal, select option 1. Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP.`
  • Put the initramfs` OpenWrt image on your TFTP server and boot it.
  • You can then use SSH` to connect to the OpenWrt running from RAM.
  • Transfer the OpenWrt squashfs` image to the device (for instance to /tmp/openwrt.bin)
  • Run sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt.bin` to install the image to your device.
