I read the directions from the openwrt site and I think the LEDE ram image I want to use is this: lede-17.01.0-rc1-r3042-ec095b5-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf I don't see a sysupgrade image in https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.0-rc1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/ Where do I find it?
