About Linksys EA8500

I bought the device Linksys EA8500 as a picture

I don't know this is version v1 hardware or not.

On this page https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/linksys/linksys_ea8500 ,
I saw the following characteristics:

Flash MB: 128NAND
RAM MB: 512

I upload 23.05.0 version of Openwrt firmware to device and see only 24 MB ROM.

Perhaps the problem is that part of the device's ROM memory is corrupted?

128 is the total flash size, not the available size.

According to Linksys' typical partitioning, you have a 128 MB NAND flash, which is split into 2*(6+34) MB. Considering that the defailt OpenWrt image is between 7-8 MB these days (and keeping ECC in mind), 24 MB free/ usable space (overlay size) is within expectations.
