Not working:
Leds: 1x via a SPI controller
Display: ST7789V or ILI9341V
controlled by stm32f205.
Note:
DSA changes are ready, but we have an issue with
ports not working after 20-30 minutes. So for now
we use swconfig.
Installation: serial connection only
There is a J11 four pin connector. You need to connect TX, RX and GND.
You can find very good information about the device here

Upgrading via serial port:
1. Download the kernel initramfs image. Copy the image to a TFTP server
2. Connect to console on the AP, and connect the LAN1 port to your PC LAN
3. Stop autoboot to get to U-boot shell
Interrupt the autoboot process by pressing any key when prompted
4. Transfer the kernel image with TFTP
Set your ip address on your TFTP server to 192.168.1.254
# tftpboot 0x81000000 amplifi-router-hd-initramfs-kernel.bin
5. Load the image
# bootm 0x81000000
6. SCP sysupgrade image from your PC to the Amplifi HD
(If you use a newer mac use scp -O)
# scp openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_amplifi-router-hd-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
7. Write sysupgrade to the firmware partition
# mtd write /tmp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_amplifi-router-hd-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin firmware
8. Reboot your device
# reboot
