(Optional) Verify sha256

To verify the SHA256 hash of the downloaded file, run in terminal:

sha256sum mfi_xxxx.tar.gz 
# For example:
# sha256sum mfi_recomputer-super-orin-nx-16g-j401-6.2-36.4.3-2025-05-22.tar

If the resulting hash matches the SHA25 hash provided in the wiki, it confirms that the firmware you downloaded is complete and intact.
