Downgrade from Nightly to Release

I am trying to downgrade a MikroTik RouterBOARD LHG 5nD device from nightly 2089-bc77ff8 to 3.22.12.0.

It will not work via the GUI.  And trying the CLI scp method (RE: https://www.arednmesh.org/content/can-aredn-firmware-be-updated-directly-device-using-terminal) also goes not work as it gives this error:

sysupgrade -n /tmp/aredn-3.22.12.0-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Fri Jan  6 08:33:27 EST 2023 upgrade: Device mikrotik,routerboard-lhg-5nd not supported by this image

Fri Jan  6 08:33:27 EST 2023 upgrade: Supported devices: rb-750-r2 rb-750up-r2 rb-750p-pbr2 rb-911-2hn rb-911-5hn rb-931-2nd rb-941-2nd rb-951ui-2nd rb-952ui-5ac2nd rb-962uigs-5hact2hnt rb-lhg-5nd rb-lhg-5hpnd rb-lhg-5hpnd-xl rb-ldf-5nd rb-map-2nd rb-mapl-2nd rb-wap-2nd rb-wapr-2nd rb-sxt-2nd-r3

Image check failed.


Maybe the problem is going from ath79 back to ar71xx?
Any ideas?  Thanks.

See this section of the docs

Mike, this section of the online docs should help with downgrading.  Since you're going from the new target architecture to the legacy target, you need to do a fresh install as described here:  https://docs.arednmesh.org/en/latest/arednHow-toGuides/firmware_tips.html#tips-for-downgrading-firmware
