-===== Router Bircked =====
+===== Router Bricked =====
 I succeeded in bricking this router, may be after I installed the **openvpn** package, which required the **kmod-tun** one. I mixed packages from different architectures and sources, so probably I got some unworkable mix. It is probable that my customization went into the overlay partition and the boot partition is still good, but unfortunately I don't know any method to clean or format the overlay.

 === Accessing the serial line ===
-I tried also to connect a serial adapter to the **J5** tag, soldering three wires to it. **TX** and **RX** lines should correspond to **R327** and **R328** resistors, according to some posts. But I did not get any serial signal.
+I connected a serial adapter (3.3 v) to the **J5** tag soldering three wires to it. **TX** and **RX** lines correspond to **R327** and **R328** resistors. I connected the three pins to a serial-to-USB adapter using Minicom at **115200 8N1**. The serial console is displayed, but it is in read-only mode, no input is accepted.
