Image check failed when installing AREDN firmware on ALFA Tube-AHM

Hi all, I'm new to AREDN and just starting to experiment with it. I ran into the following issue while trying to install the firmware on a new Tube-AHM. The device was purchased from Rokland, and the label clearly states that it is the US version.

 

Current version information:

 

Model: Tube-AHM

Firmware Version: Tube-AHM v1.0.1-alfa-hw01-cc7cc

OpenWrt: v1.0.1-alfa-hw01-cc7cc

Linux Kernel: 5.15.150

Architecture: MediaTek MT7628AN

Target Platform: ramips/mt76x8

Chip ID: MM6108-A1

 

I am trying to install:

aredn-4.26.10.0-ramips-mt76x8-alfa-network_tube-ahm-r0c-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

(I also tried 4.26.7 with the same result.)

 

Uploading the image through the stock ALFA web interface fails with:

Device alfa-network,ahtu6108e-kr not supported by this image

Supported devices:

alfa-network,tube-ahm-r0c

alfa-network,ahtu6108e-us

Image check failed.

The unit has never run AREDN. This error comes from the original ALFA firmware during the upload process.

 

Since the device label clearly says US version, is this a new hardware revision or a board-ID mismatch that is not yet recognized by AREDN?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
