28 28  If you are on my 18.x below, sysupgrading to a 19.07 image will not work. You have to manually mtd write the 19.07 "kernel-initramfs.bin" into the nand and boot/log into it (192.168.1.1), then sysupgrade.

36 36  --**Images do not contain LuCi! (The build process doesn't include it for some reason I have not yet time to figure out.)** You need to have the **squashfs-sysupgrade.bin** flashed, then install LuCI. (See instructions below.)--

38 38  --The EA8100 contains 2 firmware partitions. Using the Linksys UI will flash openwrt into only one of the 2 partitions. The booting process switches partition every few boots, so if you want to always boot into openwrt then you have to flash openwrt into both partitions.--
