 +==== Abstract ====
 +There is a bootloader with tftp support which can be useful for many developers. ​ This binary is taken from the unknown VoIP device based on the ADM5120. I've decided to publish it after some patching.
 +
 +I tested it on the Edimax BR6104K it works for me. \\
 +**Warning:​** do not use this bootloader with standard firmwares, because this bootloader has size over 32K. Standard firmwares will damage some parts of bootloader for own system variables. \\
 +
 +==== Upgrade ====
 +For upgrading bootloader you should make following steps:
 +  - Download [[http://​midge.vlad.org.ua/​firmware/​rd/​vmlinuz-rd-bootloader-20050912.bin|vmlinuz-rd-bootloader-20050912.bin]] to your PC, not to your router. This image is a small temporary midge system with all data for bootloader upgrade included.
 +  - Upload it to SDRAM an start from SDRAM if not done automatic
 +  - Login as User root, password midge
