bjonglez: Looks like the SXT Lite2 has indeed a NOR flash, while the SXT Lite5 has a NAND flash: https://mikrotik.com/product/RBSXT2nDr3 Both models were added at the same time, with a NAND flash: https://git.openwrt.org/3519322e6238913eeae717a598c9760ddf40436c So, maybe mikrotik later changed the SXT Lite2 to use a NOR flash? |

zorxd: Yes this is what I think R2 has NAND flash (no longer listed on manufacturer's web page) I made a patch which should fix this. |

Tested using OpenWRT 18.06.1 on Mikrotik SXT Lite 2. This device is listed as supported on the wiki.
OpenWRT boots fine over netboot (DHCP/TFTP).
But when trying to install permanently (to flash memory) using sysupgrade, there is the following error message:
Device unknown not supported by this image
Supported devices: rb-750-r2 rb-750up-r2 rb-750p-pbr2 rb-911-2hn rb-911-5hn rb-941-2nd rb-951ui-2nd rb-952ui-5ac2nd rb-962uigs-5hact2hnt rb-lhg-5nd rb-map-2nd rb-mapl-2nd rb-wap-2nd

I am using the following files:
network boot: http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/openwrt-18.06.1-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
sysupgrade: http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/openwrt-18.06.1-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
This device has a 16 MiB NOR flash. By looking at the code (target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/mach-rbsxtlite.c), it seems we expect NAND flash instead.
