Rare project developers

Sorry, I assumed you had done this before :)

Just to reiterate what Frederic has said: you can either boot into
"ONIE update" and at the prompt execute

ONIE# onie-self-update 
http://hydra.nix.net.switch.ch/RARE/asterfusion/onie-updater-x86_64-asterfusion_x312p-r0

then after the reboot select "ONIE embed". The system will then reboot
automatically one more time and then you can use onie-nos-install with
the RARE installer.

Or you can write
http://files.mchome.nop.hu/inet/barefoot/onie-recovery-x86_64-asterfusion_x312p-20230306.iso
to a USB stick, boot from it and select "ONIE embed" from there.

Both methods should lead to the same result namely replacing the
existing ONIE with a new version that should be branded for that
specific hardware.
