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
