# GL.INet GL-AR750 "Creta" travel router

# I like GL.iNet devices because they're relatively accessible to
# DIY users: the serial port connections have headers preinstalled
# and don't need soldering
# The default output is a combined image containing a kernel
# packaged as a "uimage" and initrd filesystem. This can be
# downloaded to the device using TFTP and then written into
# flash, or if PHRAM suport is enabled (handy for development)
# unpacked and run directly into RAM
