The EdgeRouter-X serial console is connected to the laptop using a USB-to-ttl adapter. To access the router I use 'screen /dev/ttyUSB0 57600' and get a blank console.
Plugging the power connector into the ER-X and holding down the '1' key on the laptop I interrupt the ER-X's boot process and am presented with a recovery menu. I want menu item 1 to load the recovery image using tftp. My question is how I should invoke tftp because if I try typing /usr/bin/tftp in the serial console the keystrokes are not visible. And, if I invoke it from another virtual console I don't know if it's available for use with the ER-X screen console. The Ubiquti recovery manual doesn't cover this, at least not for linux systems. So, I have a virtual terminal running screen connected to the ER-X and I want to use tftp to transfer a specific file name after entering the IP addresses of the ER-X (192.168.1.1) and the laptop (192.168.1.55). The file to be transferred is ER-e50.recovery.v2.0.6.5208541.190708.0508.16de5fdde.img which is in the ER-X recovery directory on the laptop. I have the individual pieces working (found the correct pinouts for the ER-X): a screen console, tftp, and the recovery image available and ask how to put them all together.
