- Installation via uboot's upgrade command
0. attach serial cable
1. interrupt uboot and enter "upgrade code.bin" into
the u-boot prompt
ar7240> upgrade code.bin
2. rename openwrt...sysupgrade.bin to code.bin on PC
3. run a tftp-client on the PC
(shell)$ tftp 192.168.1.230
binary
put code.bin
4. wait for the device to finish
[...]
Copy buff to Flash from 0x9f040000 length 0x79f000
Copy to Flash... write addr: 9f040000
done
5. enter "go" in the u-boot prompt
ar7240> go
- TFTP ramdisk image boot from the uboot prompt
(tftp server defaults to serverip 192.168.1.254)
=> tftpboot 81000000 initramfs.bin
=> bootm
Tested and working:
- LEDs
- Buttons
- Ethernet
- Wi-Fi
- OpenWRT sysupgrade
For flashing and debricking information see:

Users coming from ar71xx can use sysupgrade too. But I highly
advise to no save the old configuration and start from a clean
state.
