per the instructions in ``u-boot\verb0_0reflash'' in its section ``Installing

u-boot to your router'', which reads:

\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
|

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 1 (for D-Link DIR-505, use any key)

\lstset{tabsize=2}

\begin{lstlisting}

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
