Please notice that this patch is WiP and some additional changes are to be introduced in v2. I would expect -factory.bin to be flashable by vendor firmware. Closely looking at hexdump -C doesn't reveal any differences between generated images by existing support in ar71xx target and this ath79 port. Upgrading from OpenWrt is possible with sysupgrade. TFTP to uboot doesn't work for me (I receive ARP request and send replies back but they're apparently never heard) but with "loady" I'm able to bootm an initramfs image and then sysupgrade from it. I see there's some http server mentioned in the wiki article, haven't tried it yet (and I can't understand what "simple" web browser it talks about, probably there should be a curl command instead?), and in my opinion it's ok to wait for a few minutes for slow serial upload as it's to be performed only once anyway but if you can figure a reliable http method it would be a nice alternative. Where would you like to have the additional installation instructions, on the wiki or in the commit message itself? BTW, as a device user, what's your opinion regarding mac and lp partitions, do you consider keeping them wasteful or not?
