Installation
1. Connect to one of LAN (yellow) ethernet ports,
2. Open router configuration interface,

2. Connect to one of LAN (yellow) ethernet ports,
3. Connect to UART port (leaving out VCC pin!),
4. Power on router,
5. When asked to enter a number 1 or 3 hit 2, this will select flashing
image from TFTP server option,
6. You'll be prompted to enter TFTP server ip (default is 192.168.99.8),
then router ip (default is 192.168.99.9) and for last, image name
downloaded from TFTP server (default is uImageESR1200_1750),
7. After providing all information U-Boot will start flashing the image,
You can observe progress on console, it'll take few minutes and when
the Power LED will stop blinking, router is ready for configuration.
