19.07.2 on WNR2000v1 flashing problem

Hi All,
I have old WNR2000v1 which I used recently with Lede 17.01, due to virus lock down I had some time today and decided to upgrade it to 19.07.2 which as per wiki should be supported on my device. I compiled my own software on Debian laptop and tried to upload it to my router, but it failed.

can you point me what it is happening? When my own compiled SW failed I tried to download one from openwrt.org but this seems to be too big (u-boot complains about it as well as about checksum problems).

I used wrong flash by mistake (sysupgrade instead of rootfs) and too big at the same time. With proper one it went ok
