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:
  - Press 1 during boot
  - IP and filename should be already set
4. Boot into OpenWrt and perform sysupgrade with sysupgrade image.
