I built the Morse Micro OpenWRT image following the readme.md from the openwrt Morse Micro github repo and was able to get an image. However, once trying to flash it using the WebGUI, I get the below error. Anyone got any ideas?

This looks to be a fairly large image, and it’s possible the image metadata has been stripped somehow. Can you share the filename you uploaded?

You decompressed the image. Don’t do that 😉
