Boot flag failure preventing OpenWRT install (TP-Link Archer MR600v2)

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

So I'm trying to install Openwrt on an TP-Link Archer MR600 according to this: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=78110c3b5fce119d13cd45dadd33ca396c8ce197

Loading the OpenWRT image I want via tftpboot goes fine. My problem comes in when i try to run bootm, the image load fails with "Boot flag csum incorrect, return image0"

For further clarity:

  1. tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.img -> No problems
  2. bootm 0x84000000 -> This is where the problem occurs

I'm having a hard time troubleshooting this. I've also tried to make my own RAMDisk image using mkimage from the U-boot toolset for the MIPS architecture but that doesn't work either.

Edit: Corrected the model name

Try an older image - https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=21.02.0&target=ath79%2Fgeneric&id=openmesh_mr600-v2

Sadly this did not work. The same boot flag csum event occurs

Nevermind, this device is Version 3 which is not supported at the moment. Here is some discussion about it, ill be closing this post.
