No serial read access on WR1043ND v2.1

[Adrian Chadd]

you may have to solder something on the board - sometimes they don't
populate resistors or 0 ohm links.

That photo looks like they're all populated though. Hm.

Does the serial console work once openwrt is booted?

Viper-7 from ##electronics at freenode suggested that other methods of flashing the image may be used, since I do have an working OpenWRT installation. He recommended this: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd#flashingrecovery_using_tftp_only_without_serial_consoleI'd like to hear some thoughts before I go ahead and do this, as because of my serial writing issues bricking the device would be extra painful for me.
