with the same hardware, but software speed limitations in vendor
firmwares.

Specification:
 * SoC: MT7628AN (580 MHz)
 * RAM: DDR2 64 MiB
 * Flash: 16 MiB NOR (W25Q128BV)
 * Wi-Fi:
   * 2.4GHz: SoC Built-in
   * 5GHz: MT7612EN
 * Ethernet: 5x 100Mbps
   * Switch: SoC built-in
 * UART:
   * 115200, 8N1, 3.3V (real u-boot speed: 119050)
   * Pinout JB4: 1:[3V3] (TXD) (RXD) [NC] (GND)

Flash Layout:
  0x0000000-0x0030000 : "Bootloader"
  0x0030000-0x0040000 : "Config"
  0x0040000-0x0050000 : "Factory"
  0x0050000-0x0ff0000 : "Kernel"
  0x0ff0000-0x1000000 : "CBTinfo"

MAC address:
  LAN: factory 0x28
  WAN: LAN + 1
  2.4G: LAN + 2
  5G: LAN + 3

Installation:
1. Connect to UART, use LF as EOL (not CRLF)
2. Set IP address
  - Press 4 during boot
  - setenv serverip <TFTPSERVER_IP>
  - setenv ipaddr <DEVICE_IP>
  - setenv bootfile openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-linksys_e5400-initramfs-kernel.bin
  - saveenv
  - reset
3. Load Openwrt Kernel image from TFTP:
