The guide is the result of two months of work, testing, and failures. There were a lot of thanks during those days, all of this wouldn't be possible without their help, so they deserve credit too.

What do we need?
** USB key. Always MBR, do not format it as GPT because the box will not recognize it. Thank you to Storm for his discovery
** Console: It's a must; you need an FT23RL USB UART converted. There are a lot on amazon. You can check this blog for more details (Thanks Nico)
** Minicom for Linux or putty for windows. I have always used minicom.
I will split this guide into six sections: Serial console, boot from the USB, Debian recovery firmware, u-boot, kernel and file system, Open Media Vault.
Let's play!
