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-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-snand-preloader.bin 3d65ca169bc4ad5f0fdbd2f1e4375865de289c1b74719e67c063732b698eed60 openwrt-25.12.5-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-snand-preloader.bin
