What I can see from the logs:


  * installing lede-17.01.0-r3205-59508e3-ramips-rt3883-rt-n56u-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin via tftp recovery: **works**
  * installing lede-17.01.0-r3205-59508e3-ramips-rt3883-rt-n56u-squashfs-factory.bin via tftp recovery: **fails**

The OpenWrt wiki article seams to be outdated and the sysupgrade.bin is the image that should be used for tftp recovery. The factory.bin is most likely intended to be used for a flash from the asus firmware webinterface.

Installing the trunk sysupgrade.bin via tftp recovery does work as well. But it fails later with a complete different error (rt2800pci driver has issues with getting the clock) which is unrelated to this bug report. I'm quite sure, you will see the same crash when updating from 17.01.0 to the latest trunk version as well.

Conclusion: At least in terms of this bugreport, there is no issue. It is as simple as the wrong image was used.

Regarding the rt2800pci related crash in trunk, you should create a new bugreport with a bootlog attached which shows the kernel crash.

Are you fine with closing this ticket?
