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-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar cd8396fc15930d88abb02a39f7b5850cf90177f3f0186b0265b8635ce37c98ed openwrt-25.12.5-octeon-generic-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
