[Solved] Uboot - Not enough buffer for decompression LZMA ERROR 1

I bought a TP-Link Archer D7 it's not officially supported but, it's an Archer C7 (QCA9558) + modem (BCM6318). I added this WIP wiki page few minutes ago. Briefly, I was trying to boot using an initramfs image but it says: Uncompressing Kernel Image ... Not enough buffer for decompression LZMA ERROR 1 - must RESET board to recover Obviously my image is smaller than the RAM (few MBs vs 128MB). Digging inside the GPL code from TP-Link, seems that uboot does some checks reading the size of the…
