[OpenWrt-Devel] How is the current status of support for Ubnt NanoStation Loco M5?

Hello,

Yesterday I was able to find the ubnt-LOCO-m-wm firmware. I missed it
because it is not documented in the wiki for models after 2014. I will
fix this during the day. Current trunk works fine so far.

Another curious thing was: I flashed the factory image over AirOS, and
later I wanted to use an other version, so I used the factory image
version again, but the platform check failed; BUT the sysupgrade image
just worked fine. Normally it does not matter if you use the factory
or sysupgrade image? But in the cause of ubnt devices the factory is
not the size of the ROM, is this supposed to be so?

To the serial connection:
So nobody replyed to my question, is there some threat to damage the
board if I'm brute force all variants (TX, RC, GND)? Like the older
boards, I may need no VC, so it couldn't be something go wrong, right?

Thanks and BR,
Bernd
