Installation instructions:
1. Connect to UART via the USB-C port
2. Connect the management port
3. Boot and interrupt U-Boot
4. TFTP the OpenWrt initramfs image and boot it
5. SCP the OpenWrt eMMC GPT image to a running OpenWrt initramfs to /tmp
openwrt-microchipsw-lan969x-novarq_tactical-1000-squashfs-emmc-gpt.img.gz
And decompress it via:
gzip -d /tmp/openwrt-microchipsw-lan969x-novarq_tactical-1000-squashfs-emmc-gpt.img.gz
6. Wipe eMMC with:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M
7. Flash OpenWrt eMMC image with:
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-microchipsw-lan969x-novarq_tactical-1000-squashfs-emmc-gpt.img
of=/dev/mmcblk0
After a restart OpenWrt will boot, and then regular sysupgrade can be used
for upgrades.
