OpenWrt

There are patches for different versions of OpenWrt. It seems that support might be easy.

According this forum thread you can install via original firmware using the initram version.

I adopted the patches above to the following. This compiles well with CHAOS CALMER (Bleeding Edge, r45856).

I used the serial interface and the flash funtionality of u-boot.

The initrd image should work being flashed using the update function of the original firmware.

When it works flash the squashfs image using sysupgrade.
