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-octeon-generic-cisco_vedge1000-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar 1dfe6d17acdefb93e6a1db9c2c47ebb83a3bed6250f48da6b7110a13cd3e4f92 openwrt-25.12.5-octeon-generic-cisco_vedge1000-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
