Hi guys!!
I'm following the installation guise to use Open WRT on a Mikrotik LHG HP5 XL.
I downloader files from here:
openwrt - mikrotik_lhg_5 section
Install:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.5/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/openwrt-18.06.5-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-initramfs-kernel.bin
Upgrade:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.5/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/openwrt-18.06.5-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Everything goes great with the test of initramfs-kernel.bin, but when i want to flash permanently, something happens. I'm getting this error:
The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image formar for your platform
Please, help!!
@halo89, welcome to the community!
To check, does an older sysupgrade file work?

Which guide are you following?
Are you sure Mikrotik LHG HP5 XL is supported by OpenWrt?

@tmomas I'm using files listed here: https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/mikrotik/mikrotik_lhg_5
I just tries flash through CLI, and the error is this:
Image check 'fwtool_check_image' failed.

That page is for RB LHG 5nD.
I'm not sure if the LHG HP5 XL is covered by this too.
