      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
