# Notes

With the release of v1.5.0, NAND flash support is not available yet. Before upgrading the router,
the u-boot environment variable `bootcount` needs to be set higher than 3. This can be achieved
by ssh'ing into the router and running : 


`fw_setenv bootcount 4` 


After rebooting the router,the router can be upgraded using a `nor` image. When upgrading, it is important that any settings
are not saved and that the "Keep Settings" box is unchecked in luci or that the `-n` flag is specified when using `sysupgrade`.
