This script downloads the OpenWrt ImageBuilder to generate a firmware upgrade image compatible with the stock firmware which will automatically carry out the installation.

#BELKIN RT3200 SERIAL#
When going back to the stock firmware, be prepared to connect to the internal serial port in case there are any bad blocks. If you plan to ever go back to the stock firmware, you will need a backup of the vendor bootchain and firmware.

WARNING #2 Re-flashing the installer when the device is already using UBI flash layout will erase the previously backed up bootchain, which in most cases would be the vendor/official one.

The installer stores a copy of the previous bootchain in a dedicated UBI volume boot_backup. WARNING #1 This will replace the bootloader (TF-A 2.4, U-Boot 2022.01) and convert the flash layout of the device to UBI. The interaction required is shown on the left, which is done entirely within the web browser. The window on the right displays the serial RX interface for documentation purpose only.
