I know the nightlys' now are using OpenWRT release, version 22.03.2 and that some older 32MB Ram devices like the NanoBridge 5G25 are being sunsetted.
Has the sun set on these devices yet? Or does this OpenWRT release, version 22.03.2 nightly still work on these devices but has not been tested?
If the nightly will still work, I'd like to try it on my NanoBridge, but don't know what nightly file to use. If sunsetted, then I'll just continue to use the last stable release.
Thanks

Nightly for NanoBridge 5G25?

Yes, and No. There is a "Tiny" version for this model. I have so far been un-successful upgrading a unit for testing. Just for clarity - I had mistakenly reported that I had a successful upgrade for this model in this post, however I was mistaken and have edited this post to report that I have NOT been able to upgrade. I'm also evaluating staying on Nightly 2002 for most of my 32MB sunset devices which I believe is the last one before the new OpenWRT version. My attempt at AirRouter "Tiny" was not so successful.

Search for "5G25".

The writing is most certainly on the"wall"!
I have a NanoBridge M2 that I upgraded this morning to the nightly (NB2138) using the tiny/ubnt_nanobridge-m image. Some folks treat the nightly builds like "releases" but they are not. There is only one Nightly Build, and that is the latest one -- all others are obsolete. If you need to stay on an older build then it's best to put the latest Stable Release on your node.
So far, NO success upgrading from N-2002 "Bullet ATH79) to N-2138 Tiny Nanobridge Ath79. Will try another unit.
I can't seem to find the nightly (NB2138) or later using the tiny/ubnt_nanobridge-m image so I can test on my NanoBridge 5G25 device.
Thanks

Didn't realize there was a "Tiny" directory. So I'll give it a try.

I think the fix is queued up to compile tonight - so maybe check tomorrow's (1/13/23) nightly run if you aren't successful with the current "tiny" version nightly 2145. I believe the AirRouter may also be included in the next fix as well.
Instead of trying to remember or know the directories, try: http://downloads.arednmesh.org/afs/www
This AREDN Firmware Selector (AFS) tool should tell you the exact file for your model (ESPECIALLY for the nightlybuilds and releases moving forward)
Was able to update on first try using Nightly 2152-252b1dc using ath/79/tiny ubnt (nanobridge m)
Device is used as a portable and has not been online or remotely used in service prior to upgrading.
Updated via a dumb switch between node and computer.
