# Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
## Which file should I flash?
|
||||
|
||||
You should consult the documentation at [LEDE](https://lede-project.org/docs/start) and/or at
|
||||
[OpenWRT](https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/user.beginner).
|
||||
The produced firmware files should be somewhere around ```build/lede-imagebuilder-17.01.1-ar71xx-generic.Linux-x86_64/bin/ar71xx```.
|

You should consult the [OpenWRT documentation](https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/user.beginner).

The produced firmware files should be somewhere around ```build/openwrt-imagebuilder-17.01.4-ar71xx-generic.Linux-x86_64/bin/ar71xx```.
|
||||
|
||||
In short:
|
||||
|
||||
* You need a file with the name ```-factory.bin``` or ```-sysupgrade.bin```. The former is to
|
||||
be used when you first install LEDE, the latter is when you upgrade an already installed
|
||||
LEDE.
|
||||
be used when you first install OpenWRT, the latter is when you upgrade an already installed
|
||||
OpenWRT.
|
||||
|
||||
* You must carefully pick the proper firmware file for your **hardware version**! I advise you
|
||||
to look up the wiki page for your hardware on the [OpenWRT wiki](https://wiki.openwrt.org),
|
||||
because most of them have a table of the released hardawre versions with comments on their
|
||||
status (sometimes new hardware revisions are only supported by the latest LEDE, which is

because most of them have a table of the released hardware versions with comments on their
|

status (sometimes new hardware revisions are only supported by the latest OpenWRT, which is

not released yet).
|
||||
|
||||
## Help! The build has finished but there's no firmware file!
|
||||
|
||||
If the build doesn't yield a firmware file (```*-factory.bin``` and/or ```*-sysupgrade.bin```):
|
||||
when there's not enough space in the flash memory of the target device to install everything
|
||||
then the LEDE ImageBuilder prints a hardly visible error into its flow of output and
|
||||
then the OpenWRT ImageBuilder prints a hardly visible error into its flow of output and
|
||||
silently continues. Look into [build.sh](build.sh#L31) and try to remove some packages
|
||||
that you can live without.
