Installation:
-------------
This device uses an obfuscated bootloader and an obfuscated image. As such,
the installation can only be performed using the console ports.
1. Set the switch to boot from the first image.
2. Attach console cable and hold Ctrl+C while powering on the switch
3. After a few seconds, a very basic U-Boot menu appears. Wait for the user
input to appear, then press "z" to get to the message "Please input auth
code".
4. Type "jiangks" as the password, the RTL9300 prompt appears.
5. Load the OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP:
> setenv serverip 192.168.0.1
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.2
> tftpboot 0x83000000 openwrt.bin
> bootm 0x83000000
6. Once OpenWrt has booted, use the "sysupgrade" image to perform the
actual installation.
7. Reboot the switch and enjoy OpenWrt.
Recovery/return to stock:
