    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
