Uboot alternative - Breed.

Chinese developer Hackpascal released his alternative to standard routers uboot - Breed. It is universal bootloader that supports MT7620/MT7620a from MTK and AR9344 chips from Atheros. Most important features are:

• web-interface
• possibility of entering bootloader without using hardware button
• telnet access to bootloader's cmdline

Telnet test:

$ telnet 192.168.1.1
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.

Fresh u-boot images (01 july 2014) for atheros-based routers

I revised original's sources for pepe2k's u-boot mod (https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod) for atheros-bases routers and dev-boards.
And i decided to recompile fresh u-boot images for all capable routers. Here they are:
