I think this Nanostation M5 is an XM as it does not show XW.
How can I make sure whether it is an XM or an XW?
I have just tried with your image, Ilario.
I could flash it, but it does not work properly. The router shows the
SSIDs for some seconds and suddenly they are gone, and it repeats this
behavior every few minutes. Moreover, Ethernet connection does not work
either.
Does anyone have any Nanostation M5 XM working with the last LiMe version?
I think the XM is a low flash and memory device. Maybe that is the problem?
If that is the problem, could I compile a LiMe image with the mininum
software so that the XM works?
Please let me know if you have any recommendation on things to remove to
get a minimalistic LiMe. I don't need the Nanostation to be an Access
Point, it's just for backhaul.
I hope I can find a solution, because I have many old nanostations :(

Thank you very much Ilario and SAn for your answers,
and sorry for my
delay. I'm trying to resume now the troubleshooting.
Ilario, do those images include the babeld-auto-gw-mode package?
Ilario Gelmetti:
Hi Amuza!
So the other Nanostation is an XM one, right?
Sounds like you're using the right image for that model, at least
according to the OpenWrt wiki page:
https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/nanostationm5
The only thing I noticed which could (?) cause a failure in the upgrade
is that you're flashing the "factory" image using the sysupgrade tool
instead of the "sysupgrade" image.
Did you compile using OpenWrt 19.07.7 as a base?
Please avoid flashing images based on OpenWrt trunk unless you're sure
of what you're doing (there is some risk involved in upgrading to images
with DSA switch driver and even more in downgrading afterwards).
You could also try with the image taken from here:
http://repo.libremesh.org/expansive_emancipation/2020.1/targets/ath79/gener…
these are images I compiled and uploaded on the LibreMesh servers
(recently devs gave me access) but I did not announce them as I have not
yet tested them...
Ciao!

Hello.
Yesterday I upgraded a Nanostation M5 XW and it worked ok.
Today I have here a Nanostation M5 that has a working LiMe 16.07. I am
trying to upgrade it to ExpansiveEmancipation, but I get an error:
root@nsm5:/tmp# ls -hal | grep .bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.8M Jun 12 19:08

openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_nanostation-m-squashfs-factory.bin
Invalid image type.
Image check 'platform_check_image' failed.
root@nsm5:/tmp#
How should I troubleshoot it?
Thank you
