Any idea how to install Developers edition firmware on a Cervantes 3 device?

Yup. I need to update OP. The answer is: you can't follow this guide anymore and there're no alternatives AFAIK.

A motivated user could try to open the device, find the serial port, solder it to a TTL USB serial, hook it to a computer and see if you get a login prompt (and hope there's no password in there).

Honestly I've never played with stock firmware, so I'm not sure how hardened it is. I guess not much and, once you get shell access, you can start tweaking things in the root filesystem without problems.
