The manufacturer has stripped down the U-Boot and removed the needed tools to install another firmware. Especially,

1. there is no tftp command, so the bin file cannot be loaded to memory in order to boot into it. Without tftp, the commands bootp and rarpboot do not function either.
2. There is a httpd server command, which accepts a bin file through web GUI but it does not install it (it says something like "bad file type")

As this device is quite old and not supported anymore it would be hard to find anyone with the knowledge to put OpenWrt on this specific device. The OpenWrt Wiki is not giving any hint howto install OpenWrt on this device.

Thanks for chimming in.

I thought to revive the device because there exists an image especially created for and named after this model. But it seems the current trend to lockdown the firmware thought stripping bootloaders is followed by this OEM...
