Hi,

> In order to install OpenWRT, you first need to compile an initramfs
> (ramdisk)-image for the device.

if the ramdisk image is needed, then we probably should enable it for that
target and provide it, we shouldn't demand end users to build the ramdisk
images by themselves in order to be able to install OpenWrt, right?

This needs adding `ramdisk` in FEATURES in target.mk.

> * Copy the initramfs-image to your tftp-root (default filename is
> test.bin) and configure networking accordingly (default server IP is
> 10.10.10.3, client 10.10.10.123). Start your tftp server.
> * Open the board and connect to UART. The pins are exposed and clearly
> marked.
> * Boot the board and press 1.
> * Either use the default filename and client/server IP-addresses, or
> specify your own.

Why does it reboot? Is there any kind of watchdog? Do you get any error in the
bootloader?

this should match device from the DT compatible property and use generic
board/model detection as introduced in commit b3d699bdd3caa3d ("base-files:
add generic preinit script to extract board/model info from device-tree").

ditto here.

so this is not necessary anymore and you can drop it.

We're trying to get rid of the `gpio-export` functionality as it's hack for
missing kernel functionality, which was rejected in upstream kernel long time
ago, for details see this email
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2019-February/015772.html,
discussion in #1366 or
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1814#issuecomment-462942022.

So I'm wondering if it would be possible to replace the `gpio-export`
construct with the userspace gpio-switch alternative, for example
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/layerscape/base-files/etc/board.d/03_gpio_switches#L20-L22

Can you please change the node name to more generic name `flash at 0` and try if
it boots for you?

I would add newline here in order to separate the `status` property from the
rest.

this should be set to `Device/head-weblink_hdrm200` in order to add
SUPPORTED_DEVICES variable with the proper value, matching the one in the DT
compatible.
