Installation notes
- Already running OpenWrt or ImmortalWrt: flash the sysupgrade image from LuCI (System → Backup / Flash Firmware) or with the sysupgrade command.
- The kernel / initramfs image boots from RAM without writing to flash — useful for a first install or for recovering from a failed flash.
- Verify your download against the published checksum before flashing:
$ sha256sum openwrt-25.12.5-lantiq-xrx200-avm_fritz5490-initramfs-kernel.bin e2522181844809326310c5de395201e609d6bfad4ce4c6241c06b7c78196d116 openwrt-25.12.5-lantiq-xrx200-avm_fritz5490-initramfs-kernel.bin
