INSTALLATION:
Bootloader won't accept any serial input unless "boot_wait" u-boot
environment variable is changed to "on". Vendor firmware (looks like
an illegal OpenWrt fork) won't accept any serial input unless
"uart_en" is set to "1". Tricks to force u-boot to use default
environment do not help as it's restricted in the same way.
With bootloader unlocked the easiest way would be to TFTP the
sysupgrade image or to sysupgrade after loading an initramfs one.
For porting the flash contents were changed externally with an SPI
programmer (after lifting Vcc flash IC pin away from the PCB).
