First I'd like to say thanks to my beloved husband @FoxBuru for aligning the needed partitions This is based on the work of @j-d-r (repo down below)
For booting, check the bootcmd variable in u-boot using printenv
Mine was: bootcmd=bootelf 0x9F040000
IF yours has something like bootcmd=bootm 0x9f040000
revert this commit or change the value of bootcmd: run this command in u-boot via serial
setenv bootcmd bootelf 0x9f040000
saveenv
For more info on how to update u-boot read this: https://github.com/j-d-r/openwrt#installation
For connecting via serial try these values:
- Baudrate: 115200 or 111607 (it should show up at boot in the UART field)
- Data bits: 8
- Stop bits: 1
- Parity: None
- Flow Control: None
