Raspberry Pi Variants (Alcrymist, COTX-X3, SenseCap-M1, RAK, Midas……):
- Luna Uniti Alpha 5.15 GA Release 2024-09-22 0249 | SHA256 CHECKSUM
- Luna Uniti Alpha 5.00 GA Release 2024-08-09-1942 | SHA256 CHECKSUM
Libre Computer LePotato AML-S905X-CC (Amlogic):

- Luna Uniti LePotato Alpha 5.00 GA Release 2024-09-15-1454 | SHA256 CHECKSUM
- Observe the device on your router. it will get a hostname assigned “luna-fffe000000”. Wait 1 minute and then power cycle the device, observe the device show up on router again with same hostname “luna-fffe000000”, wait 1 minute and power cycle the device again. This time around you will observe the device get its actual hostname “luna-fffeXXXXXX” where XXXXXX would be the last 6 digits of your device Ethernet MAC address. Once completed, continue to onboard and license.
OrangePi Zero 2W:
- Luna Uniti OrangePi Alpha 5.15 GA Release 2024-09-25-1830 | SHA256 CHECKSUM
- Be sure to power cycle device once after onboarding and then fetch license. If you fetch license without power cycle, you will get an “undefined” error upon license retrieval. If so then simply power cycle the device and fetch license again.
RockChip Variants (Bobcat 300 – G280/G285/G290/G295):

Instructions for Flashing & onboarding:
Once you have downloaded Luna Uniti firmware for your device variant. Checkout our guide for flashing and onboarding your device.
Verifying the Checksum (Optional but recommended):
After downloading the Luna Uniti firmware, you may want to verify the file’s integrity, follow these steps:
- Recalculate the checksum of the file using SHA256SUM.
- Compare the recalculated checksum with the original checksum you stored earlier.
- If both checksum match, the file hasn’t been altered.
Lets take Luna Uniti Raspberry Pi variant firmware. To start verification, please run:
sha256sum -c checksum.BHS-Uniti-Alpha-1.20-GA-Release-2024-04-28-0559.img.xz.sha256
This command will read the checksum from checksum.BHS-Uniti-Alpha-1.19-GA-Release-2024-04-20-420.img.xz.sha256
, recalculate the checksum for BHS-Uniti-Alpha-1.19-GA-Release-2024-04-20-420.img.xz
, and compare the two. If they match, it will display a message indicating that the checksum is OK. Otherwise, it will show an error message indicating a checksum mismatch.
