@jhermsmeier Even if Etcher did support tarballs, I don’t think it’d be able to flash the ‘image’ that @fremindmm has downloaded…

@fremindmm I did a bit of digging, and I suspect the file you actually want is https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/brcm2708/bcm2710/lede-17.01.4-brcm2708-bcm2710-rpi-3-ext4-sdcard.img.gz which Etcher should support already.

@fremindmm tarballs aren’t supported yet, you’ll have to extract the image beforehand
