Older uboot versions don't have an option to
override the DTB from the `mboot` command, so
the updated DTB needs to be replaced in the image
itself.

+Upstream changes that have led to incompatible Liminix changes are:

 just checking some files are copied, test that the machine rebooted

+Fri Dec 29 18:36:16 GMT 2023
+
+Our test for liminix-rebuild uses qemu block device and ext4 instead
+of phram because -device loader doesn't seem to survive a reboot.
+And it needs some free space in the ext4 partition inside the
+mbr image so that it can install new stuff. However, the
+filesystem is sized to be near-full.
+
+If the mbrimage output is to be much use, probably there should be
+some way of telling it how big the disk is. Maybe it should use
+hardware.flash.size?
+
+UBI also does a bad job of integrating into the hardware.flash hierarchy
+(but ubi is also more complicated as the ubi volumes are "nested" inside
+an MTD partition)
+
+To move forwards with this test I think I will make it not depend on
+mbrimage for now, but we have to come back to this. Maybe importing
+the mbrimage module provides new hardware.disk = { partitions, size etc}
+config options.

+can we extract the fw_env config data somehow to produce an appropriate
+file for the device?
+
+the device config needs to specify partition name and offset at minimum,
+possibly also size.
+
+we can create a service that writes the config based on those values. but
+if we are to be using fw_setenv from the shell, there is no service
+which depends on that service. whatever defines the service also needs
+to add it to system.services so that the recovery system can specify it

+How do we min-copy-closure to the device when we don't have anything
+hooked to the LAN port? It's rather easy to break the WAN  connection
+when it involves going out to the internet and back
+
+* Don't want to plug it into the actual lan because it's doing dhcp service
+ and that is going to confuse
+
+* the machine we're copying from is loaclhost
+
+* we could do some kind of port forwarding thing? maybe a port forward on
+  run-border-vm qemu user networking ...
+
+* static route on loaclhost?

+This is all beside the point right now because the _recovery_ system

+
+this fails because it tries to copy from the unprefixed nix

+because u-boot will need it to exist in order to load the initramfs

     Turris Omnia
     ************
+
+    This is a 32 bit ARMv7 MVEBU device, which is usually shipped with
+    TurrisOS, an OpenWrt-based system. Rather than reformatting the
+    builtin storage, we install Liminix on to the existing btrfs
+    filesystem so that the vendor snapshot/recovery system continues
+    to work (and provides you an easy rollback if you decide you don't
+    like Liminix after all).
+
+    The install process is designed so that you should not need to open
+    the device and add a serial console (although it may be handy
+    for visibility  and in case anything goes wrong). In outline
+
+      1. build a "recovery" system with useful btrfs tools
+      2. boot that system using TFTP or a USB stick
+      3. once booted, mount the real root filesystem on /mnt
+      4. take a snapshot using schnapps, and then delete everything
+      5. use min-copy-closure -d /mnt/@ to copy the real configuration
+         to the device
+      6. reboot into a fully operational system
+
+    Detailed instructions to follow...

+        *****************
+
+        For creating 'safeloader' images for tp-link devices.
+
+        These can be flashed to the device using the firmware update feature
+        in the TP-link web UI or the OEM bootloader recovery: Use something
+        sharp to hold the 'reset' button while turning on the router until
+        only the orange LED remains lit. The router will assume IP address
+        192.168.0.1 and expect you to take 192.168.0.5 on one of the LAN ports.
+        On NixOS, use something like::
+
+            networking.interfaces.enp0s20f0u1c2 = {
+              ipv4.addresses = [ {
+                address = "192.168.0.5";
+                prefixLength = 24;
+              } ];
+            };
+            networking.networkmanager = {
+                unmanaged = [ "enp0s20f0u1c2" ];
+            };
+
+        This connection is rather somewhat temperamental, it may take a couple
+        of attempts, possibly re-attaching the USB dongle and running
+        ``systemctl restart network-start.service``. The web interface does not
+        give accurate feedback (the progress bar is a lie), so you may want
+        to upload the firmware using ``curl -F firmware=@result http://192.168.0.1/f2.htm``.
+        After this shows a 'success' JSON, the image still needs to be
+        transferred from memory to flash, so be patient.
