Announces the XStream platform (which seems to be BCM4709 + 3x BCM43602),
which is touted as Penta Core (each BCM43602 radio embeds a small processor
to allow for FullMAC operation, BCM4709 remains same dual-core Cortex A9 SoC)

The block diagram shown @ SNB indicates each BCM43602 includes
its own @ 320MHz Cortex R4 processor (along with 940 KB RAM).

Flashing instructions:
* Boot to CFE Recovery Mode by holding the reset button while power-on.
* Connect to the router with an ethernet cable.
* Set IPv4 address of the computer to 192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0.
* Head to http://192.168.1.1.
* Reset NVRAM.
* Upload the OpenWrt image.

CFE bootloader may reject flashing the image due to image integrity check.
In that case, follow the instructions below.

* Rename the OpenWrt image as firmware.trx.
* Run a TFTP server and make it serve the firmware.trx file.
* Run the URL below on a browser or curl.

Flashing Tomato

Flashing FreshTomato ARM7 2019.4

Upload via firmware restoration utility, after it seems like endless reboot. wait for lan lights to flash twice, the do a 30-30-30 reset using WPS button as reset button. Using the actual reset button for a 30-30-30 will put it in recovery mode.

Take [RT-AC68U] as an example

Unplug the router's power cord.

Press the Reset button.

Keep long pressing the Reset button and plug the cord to DC IN at the same time.

Notice: Please DO NOT release the Reset button until the Rescue Mode is enabled.

The router turns to the Rescue mode when you see the power indicator light is slowly flashing.
