Flashing instructions:
======================

Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:

ap51-flash
----------

The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.

initramfs from TFTP
-------------------

The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server
(here with the IP 192.168.1.21):

   setenv serverip 192.168.1.21
   setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
   tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm $fileaddr

The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to the
device via

  scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/

On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using

  sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin
