Hi all, I installed openwrt-23.05.0-rc2-ipq40xx-mikrotik-mikrotik_hap-ac3-initramfs-kernel.bin via TinyPXE Server and can successfully go to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/flash but when I upgrade to openwrt-23.05. 0-rc2-ipq40xx-mikrotik-mikrotik_hap-ac3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin the router can not start, I waited 10-15 minutes, on the computer it constantly connects and disconnects (connection via cable).

3. Use ubiformat to remove MikroTik specific UBI volumes
* Detach the UBI partition by running: "ubidetach -d 0"
