There's only USB port. Then I'd really recommend against using the development code. With serial you can use the CFE to reflash the old firmware (assuming you have a copy of it) if things go bad, but if you don't have a serial cable you could easily end up with a bricked router. > > There's web interface available with option for flashing firmware.

Not being able to JTAG or have serial console access it probably going to end up badly. It's being worked on, but personally I wouldn't use the current codebase without a serial console to recover from problems. Regards, Daniel -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
