Just shorting the CPU RESET pin to ground is sufficient for this, right?
Yep!
BTW, you can use it for the board reset of course.
Wait what? Why would anyone replace MikroTik OS with OpenWRT??
It's like replacing a swiss-army-knife with a nail-clipper.
I can think of a simple reason:
Because I want to.
Also, not everybody likes running the black box that Mikrotik ships full of holes, no Wireguard support etc.

I bet you know how to enable WPA3 and EdDSA keys on "MikroTik OS"!?
BTW, do you know it's name is RouterOS?
Possibly you know how to run tor for example (on ARM platrofm, where Metarouter isn't supported)?
@shashank1, could you confirm the current instruction is correct and you've successfully enabled uart?
Yes, I know very well the it's name, I have been using MikroTik for years.
BTW, do you know that there is SwOS, which is also a MikroTik OS?
Obviously you need some very specific functionalities. However, if we talk about multihomed network design capabilities, dynamic routing, plenty of VPNs, PBR, shapers, a bunch of tools for troubleshooting and monitoring, etc, etc... all of them ready for you out of the box, you can hardly beat it with OpenWRT.
Don't get me wrong, I'm also OpenWRT fan and use both of them in my personal network, but MT is far better and closer to the professional networking field.
- SwOS is just a web interface for switch configuration, not an OS.
- The only advantage of MT is TDMA.
- Please stop with the off-topic comments! If you'd like to talk about replacing RouterOS with OpenWrt start a separate topic. This one is only about porting OpenWrt on cAP ac. I've already flagged your comments as off-topic and like them to be removed (including my replies), @jow?
Why should one replace MikroTik´s RouterOS on a MikroTik 802.11ac access point with OpenWRT:
On an access point I don´t need BGP, OSPF, MPLS, ... but I need good wireless and this is something MikroTik is missing:
- MikroTik programs its own wireless drivers. They neither use the linux kernel modules nor paid drivers from the vendor.
- Those drivers are way too generic and doesn't provide any special improvement for a specific chipset.
- No roaming protocols, i.e. 802.11k/v/r. If you write an email to mikrotik.com and ask if those are one the roadmap, the answer is "no"
- No MU-MIMO. Almost 2 years ago, there was an answer within the MikroTik forum, that this is "wip", i.e. work in progress. Since then it hasn´t arrived nor has anyone from MikroTik replied about the expected release date. MikroTik started selling access points with 802.11ac wave 2 chipsets years ago, even with 4 antennas for 5 GHz, but only supports MIMO with its "RouterOS".
- No WPA3, WPA3 Enterprise
- No airtime fairness
- No band steering

I have hAP ac2 with OpenWRT and it works way better than with ROS, it's unacceptable how Mikrotik don't even support SQM considering they're targeting the routing market where Ubiquiti has supported fq_codel for years.
OpenWRT offers true wave2 WiFi for IPQ401X devices
-
I took the built for hAP ac2 from here and was able to boot openWRT and connect to 2.4 and 5.0 GHz wifi

- hAP ac2 and cAP ac have similar hardware:

Hello, is it stable? I'm planning on buying 2 of this units
Yes, it is stable enough. I have 2 units with functional roaming (dawn).
lol, it never work right, very slow, never work clear.
openwrt work much better on mikrotik.
i had only one mikrotik that i was not able to flash openwrt, and i put it in the trash.

Oh I don't want to go into that discussion again.
I will say that like everything - what's better depends on the use-case.
If you want decent SOHO router, OpenWRT is a perfect option. However, if you need dynamic routing, PBR, QoS, reliable L2 segmentation, tunneling... etc, some ISP/corporate stuff, using OpenWRT sounds like a joke to me. Don't get me wrong, I have used both of them for the last years and I like them both, but RouterOS is just more serious stuff. This is the opinion of a network administrator that has worked with vendors like Cisco and Juniper.
If it hasn't worked for you - that's maybe because you hadn't invested the time to learn how to operate it - it's fact that RouterOS has quite different interface, but once you set it up - it just works.
And one last fun fact: I have account here, but not on the MT forum. Why? 
Because I never had the need to post / troubleshoot problems or look for compatibility between HW and SW on the "slow", "unclear" and "full of holes" RouterOS.

P.S.: As the author said, this is off-topic for the post so I'm stopping here. No need to answer me. 
Hello everyone, I installed generic firmware on my cap ac, also work firmware for hap ac2. I now want to go back to ros but netinstall not see my ap. What is your suggesting. Thanks in advance.
@dulehak
If routerboot is untouched then it should work
Netinstall is a bit tricky
best is to use some dumb switch between PC and RB because some net card does not get link up fast enough
Have you set the boot_protocol back to bootp?
No, any instructions (command) for bootp?
Depends on what exactly did you install and how.
If I understood you. I boot openwrt via tftp and update .bin from lucy UI. I use moded firmware for hap ac2. Follow official instructions for fleshing openwrt.
