\section{Root Filesystem and Kernel Installation}
As mentioned above, the specific steps for installing an updated firmware image
were not provided, but we found that the firmware update method available in the
web interface worked fine. In particular, we went to http://192.168.10.1/ in
our browser, then logged in and chose System -> Backup / Flash Firmware. From
there, we went to the "Flash new firmware image" section and selected the
librecmc-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841n-v8-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image in the
bin/ar71xx directory mentioned above. We chose the "v8" image because we found
our router said "v8.2" on the bottom and "sysupgrade" because we were doing a
firmware upgrade rather than a fresh install.
The investigator next tested installation of the firmware. In particular,
the investigator connected the TPE-NWIFIROUTER to a local network, and
visited \url{http://192.168.10.1/}, logged in, and chose the option sequence:
``System $\Rightarrow$ Backup / Flash Firmware''.
When we clicked "Flash image...", we were prompted to confirm the MD5 hash of
the image to flash and then clicked "Proceed" to flash the image. The process
took about one minute, at which point we were back at the web UI login screen.
We logged in and found that the Kernel Log section showed we were running the
new kernel.
From there, the investigator chose the ``Flash new firmware image'' section
and selected the
``librecmc-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841n-v8-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin'' image from
the ``bin/ar71xx'' directory. The investigator chose the ``v8'' image upon
verifying the physical router read ``v8.2'' on its bottom. The investigator
chose the ``sysupgrade'' version of the image because this was clearly a
system upgrade (as a firmware already came preinstalled on the
TPE-NWIFIROUTER).
We then logged in via SSH again and ran "busybox", which printed the new version
string, showing it was using our newly-compiled version (given the date).
Upon clicking ``Flash image\hellip'', the web interface prompted the
investigator to confirm the MD5 hash of the image to flash. The investigator
did so, and then clicked ``Proceed'' to flash the image. The process took
about one minute, at which point the web page refreshed to the login screen.
Upon logging in, the investigator was able to confirm in ``Kernel Log''
section of the interface that the newly built copy of Linux had indeed been
installed.
The investigator confirmed that a new version of ``busybox'' had also been
installed by using SSH to connect to the router and ran the command
``busybox'', which showed the newly-compiled version (via its date of
compilation).
%FIXME: dg: can you get me a screen shot for the Kernel Log above, and paste
%in the output of running busybox ?
