Installation
------------
1. Update stock firmware via the web interface (don't keep settings).

Update U-Boot (optional)
------------------------
After installing OpenWrt, you may want to install opensource U-Boot.
1. Install kmod-mtd-rw:
   apk update && apk add kmod-mtd-rw
2. Unlock bootloader:
   insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1
   mtd unlock BL2
   mtd unlock FIP
3. Download and write open-source BL2 and FIP:
   cd /tmp
   wget https://.../openwrt-mediatek-filogic-routerich_be7200-preloader.bin
   wget https://.../openwrt-mediatek-filogic-routerich_be7200-bl31-uboot.fip
   mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-routerich_be7200-preloader.bin BL2
   mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-routerich_be7200-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
4. Reboot the router.

Return to stock
---------------
1. Update OpenWrt wirh the vendor's firmware (don't keep settings).

Recovery (original U-Boot)
-----------------------------
1. Press Reset button and power on the router. After ~10 sec release
   the button;
2. Upload and flash squashfs-sysupgrade.itb image via the web interface.

Recovery (open-source U-Boot)
-----------------------------
1. Place OpenWrt
   'openwrt-mediatek-filogic-routerich_be7200-initramfs-recovery.itb'
   image on the tftp server (IP: 192.168.1.254)
2. Press Reset button and power on the router. After ~10 sec release
   the button.
3. Use OpenWrt initramfs system for recovery

Recovery (full disaster)
------------------------
Use UART and mtk_uartboot tool.
