| The U-Boot installation process is substantially more complicated than the | ||||
| firmware update.  The investigator purchased the optional serial cable | ||||
| along with the TPE-NWIFIROUTER, in order to complete the U-Boot installation | ||||
| per the instructions in ``u-boot\verb0_0reflash''. | ||||
| per the instructions in ``u-boot\verb0_0reflash'' in its section ``Installing | ||||
| u-boot to your router'', which reads: | ||||

 | ||||
| \begin{quotation} | ||||
|   \begin{enumerate} | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|     \item Install and configure any TFTP server on your PC (tftp-hpa). | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|        Set a fixed IP address on your PC \ldots and connect it to the router, | ||||
|        using RJ45 network cable \ldots | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|  \item Connect USB to UART adapter to the router and start any application to | ||||
|    communicate with it, like PuTTY. \ldots | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|    \item Power on the router, wait for a line like one of the following and | ||||
|      interrupt the process of loading a kernel: | ||||
| \begin{verbatim} | ||||
|     Autobooting in 1 seconds (for most TP-Link routers, you should enter tpl at this point) | ||||
|     Hit ESC key to stop autoboot: 1 (for 8devices Carambola 2, use ESC key) | ||||
|     Hit any key to stop autoboot: 1 (for D-Link DIR-505, use any key) | ||||
| \end{verbatim} | ||||
| \item   Set ipaddr and serverip environment variables: | ||||
| \lstset{tabsize=2} | ||||
| \begin{lstlisting} | ||||
|     hornet> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 | ||||
|     hornet> setenv serverip 192.168.1.2 | ||||
| \end{lstlisting} | ||||

| \end{quotation} | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| At this point in the installation process, hitting a key failed to interrupt | ||||
| the boot process and yield the \verb0hornet>0 prompt.  For the investigator, | ||||
| this became a moment of consideration: is this  | ||||

 | ||||
| However, the investigator was only able to read data from the serial port; the | ||||
| investigator was unable to send key events via the serial port so the U-Boot | ||||
