+    playing with Liminix or similar projects. The manufacturers seem
+    open to the DIY market, and the devices have a reasonable amount
+    of RAM and are much easier to get serial connections than many
+    COTS routers.
+
+    Wire up the serial connection: this probably involves opening
+    the box, locating the serial header pins (TX, RX and GND) and
+    connecting a USB TTL converter - e.g. a PL2303 based device - to
+    it. The defunct OpenWRT wiki has a guide with some pictures. (If
+    you don't have a USB TTL converter to hand, other options are
+    available. For example, use the GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi.)
+
+    Run a terminal emulator such as Minicom on whatever is on the
+    other end of the link. I use 115200 8N1 and find it also helps
+    to set "Line tx delay" to 1ms, "backspace sends DEL" and
+    "lineWrap on".
+
+    When you turn the router on you should be greeted with some
+    messages from U-Boot and a little bit of ASCII art, followed by
+    the instruction to hit SPACE to stop autoboot. Do this and you
+    will get a gl-mt300a> prompt.

-U-Boot and serial shenanigans
-=============================
-
-Every device that we have so far encountered in Liminix uses `U-Boot,
-the "Universal Boot Loader" <https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/>`_ so
-it's worth knowing a bit about it. "Universal" is in this context a
-bit of a misnomer, though: encountering *mainline* U-Boot is very rare
-and often you'll find it is a fork from some version last updated
-in 2008. Upgrading U-Boot is more or less complicated depending on the
-device and is outside scope for Liminix.
-
-To speak to U-Boot on your device you'll usually need a serial
-connection to it.  This is device-specific. Usually it involves
-opening the box, locating the serial header pins (TX, RX and GND) and
-connecting a USB TTL converter to them.
-
-The Rolls Royce of USB/UART cables is the `FTDI cable
-<https://cpc.farnell.com/ftdi/ttl-232r-rpi/cable-debug-ttl-232-usb-rpi/dp/SC12825?st=usb%20to%20uart%20cable>`_,
-but there are cheaper alternatives based on the PL2303 and CP2102 chipsets.  Or
-get creative and use the `UART GPIO pins <https://pinout.xyz/>`_ on a Raspberry Pi. Whatever you do, make sure
-that the voltages are compatible: if your device is 3.3V (this is
-typical but not universal), you don't want to be sending it 5v or
-(even worse) 12v.
-
-Run a terminal emulator such as Minicom on the computer at other end
-of the link. 115200 8N1 is the typical speed.
-
-.. NOTE::
-
-   TTL serial connections typically have no form of flow control and
-   so don't always like having massive chunks of text pasted into
-   them - and U-Boot may drop characters while it's busy. So don't
-   necessarily expect to copy-paste large chunks of text into the
-   terminal emulator and have it work just like that.
-
-   If using Minicom, you may find it helps to bring up the "Termimal
-   settings" dialog (C^A T), then configure "Newline tx delay" to
-   some small but non-zero value.
-
-When you turn the router on you should be greeted with some messages
-from U-Boot, followed by the instruction to hit some key to stop
-autoboot. Do this and you will get to the prompt. If you didn't see
-anything, the strong likelihood is that TX and RX are the wrong way
-around. If you see garbage, try a different speed.
-
-Interesting commands to try first in U-Boot are :command:`help` and
-:command:`printenv`.
-
-To do anything useful with U-Boot you will probably need a way to get
-large binary files onto the device, and the usual way to do this is by
-adding a network connection and using TFTP to download them. It's
-quite common that the device's U-Boot doesn't speak DHCP so it will
-need a static LAN address. You might also want to keep it away from
-your "real" LAN: see :ref:`bng` for some potentially useful tooling
-to use it on an isolated network.

-
-This output provides a UBIFS filesystem image and a small U-Boot script
-to make the manual installation process very slightly simpler. You will
-need a serial connection and a network connection to a TFTP server
-containing the filesystem image it creates.
-
-.. warning:: These steps were tested on a Belkin RT3200 (also known as
-             Linksys E8450).  Other devices may be set up differently,
-             so use them as inspiration and don't just paste them
-             blindly.
-
-1) determine which MTD device is being used for UBI, and the partition name:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot>  ubi part
-    Device 0: ubi0, MTD partition ubi
-
-In this case the important value is ``ubi0``
-
-2) list the available volumes and create a new one on which to install Liminix
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot> ubi info l
-    [ copious output scrolls past ]
-
-Expect there to be existing volumes and for some or all of them to be
-important. Unless you know what you're doing, don't remove anything
-whose name suggests it's related to uboot, or any kind of backup or
-recovery partition. To see how much space is free:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot> ubi info
-    [ ... ]
-    UBI: available PEBs:             823
-
-Now we can make our new root volume
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot> ubi create liminix -
-
-3) transfer the root filesystem from the build system and write it
-to the new volume. Paste the environment variable settings from
-:file:`result/env.scr` into U-Boot, then run
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot> tftpboot ''${loadaddr} result/rootfs
-    uboot> ubi write ''${loadaddr} liminix $filesize
-
-Now we have the root filesystem installed on the device. You
-can even mount it and poke around using ``ubifsmount ubi0:liminix;
-ubifsls  /``
-
-4) optional: before you configure the device to boot into Liminix
-automatically, you can try booting it by hand to see if it works:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot> ubifsmount ubi0:liminix
-    uboot> ubifsload ''${loadaddr} boot/uimage
-    uboot> bootm ''${loadaddr}
-
-Once you've done this and you're happy with it, reset the device to
-U-Boot. You don't need to recreate the volume but you do need to
-repeat step 3.
-
-5) Instructions for configuring autoboot are likely to be very
-device-dependent. On the Linksys E8450/Belkin RT3200, the environment
-variable `boot_production` governs what happens on a normal boot, so
-you could do
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot> setenv boot_production 'led $bootled_pwr on ; ubifsmount ubi0:liminix; ubifsload ''${loadaddr} boot/uimage; bootm ''${loadaddr}'
-
-On other devices, some detective work may be needed. Try running
-`printenv` and look for likely commands, try looking at the existing
-boot process, maybe even try looking for documentation for that device.
-
-6) Now you can reboot the device into Liminix
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    uboot> reset
-      '';
-    };
-  };

-Loading kernel at offset 0x10000 works only for zImage, but not for Image,
-because the kernel expect the start of decompressed kernel (.head.text) to be
-at an address that's a distance that's 16MB aligned from  PAGE_OFFSET +
-TEXT_OFFSET (see vmlinux.lds.S). This check is enfornced in __fixup_pv_table in
-arch/arm/kernel/head.S TEXT_OFFSET is 0x00008000, so a 16MB alignment needs to
-have a "0x8000" in the lower 16 bits so that they cancel out. Currently the
-offset Qemu loads it at is 0x10000.
-
-With zImage, this need is met because zImage loads the uncompressed Image
-correctly, however when loading an Image and executing directly Qemu is
-required it to load it at the correct location. Doing so, doesn't break Qemu's
-zImage loading. With this patch, both zImage and Image work correctly.
