Adding OpenWrt support for Asus RT-AC5300

For Developers
#1

Hey all:

I have an Asus RT-AC5300, on which I used DD-WRT. However, after messing with OpenWRT in a Virtual Machine, I'd like to use OpenWRT (and perhaps OpenWisp) on my main router. However, it seems as if the Asus RT-AC5300 isn't supported. How would I go about porting OpenWRT for the AC5300? I've compiled the firmware for the same chipset and all, but is there anything else I have to do to make this work and not brick my router?

Thanks,
Sam

Probably by looking into the bcm53xx target, at least the wireless should be covered by brcmfmac.
