SHA256
🔐 Verify SHA256 (Optional)
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 SHA256 hash provided in the wiki, it confirms that the firmware you downloaded is complete and intact.
