Installation notes

  • First install from stock firmware: flash the factoryimage through the vendor firmware's upgrade page or recovery mode.
  • 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-ath79-nand-zyxel_emg2926_q10a-squashfs-sysupgrade-4M-Kernel.bin
    1e306aefb8baf29e306483e0409d54139a2bda2bacd6d58810725bad1190def9  openwrt-25.12.5-ath79-nand-zyxel_emg2926_q10a-squashfs-sysupgrade-4M-Kernel.bin
