Thanks for sharing!
BTW: Do you have a clue what I could do to recover my router (see above)?
Please follow all steps in instruction (be sure cable is connected directly to 1st lan port and firmware is stock ax3600):

Thank you @dimfish !
I had tried the instruction already - but without success.
It says "hold down the Reset button and power on the router then release it after 8 sec and wait for the router to flash the firmware."
Are the 8 seconds correct, or do I have to wait until the system LED starts flashing quickly?
On my router the system LED flashes quickly only for a couple of seconds and then turns to steady orange again.
I have followed all the steps. I have set the IP address to static 192.168.31.100 and referred to the original Xiaomi R6000 firmware.
When I reach this window ...
... then I am pressing the reset button for approximately 8 seconds until the system LED is flashing quickly.
After a couple of seconds the flashing stops and the LED is steady orange.
But nothing happens on the screen.
When I press the button on the lower right corner the MiWiFiRepairTool just closes.
Any clue what I could have done wrong?
There is special thread
Thanks!
I had read through it and had also tried TFTP with renamed binary-files.
But also that did not work.
EXCELLENT NEWS!!!
My router is working fine again!
The problem was that I did not deactivate the firewall 
I am still laughing about this
And thank you very much for helping me patiently!
Now it is time for my router to test your latest build.
Hi all. I had compiled my owm firmware for redmi ax6 using @bitthief 's repo. And I also made some tweaks to get NSS things build and boot without error. and it works about 2 days without error.
But how can I figure out that the NSS core is working.

As it seems the drivers are loaded properly you could simply fire up iperf3. There are a lot of threads about the usage (what to test) and you should find some values for reference here within this thread also. You could also enable SQM and test before/after.
you should see a kernel message like this nss core 0 booted successfully followed by a similar one for the core 1.
as you have ECM enabled ...you should also see on /proc/interrupts nss_queues
i don't see the nss core booted on your kernel log

Hi @dimfish
I have tested your build for some hours and it works fine and I like it.
The only weak point I see is the WiFi quality compared to stock.
I am using my router in repeater mode.
And when I configure the client and the access point on the same interface this leads to troubles after a while (throughput is very low ... and sometimes it even stops completely).
I am not sure if this is solely related to the WiFi drivers - or to the OpenWrt framework.
I have taken a look into your repository and see several branches (with comments of mine what I think they are):
ipq807x-5.15-pr --> Pull Request version (robimarko)
IPQ807x-5.10-backports --> Former version
ipq807x-5.15-ecm --> No clue
ipq807x-5.15-pr-increase --> With extended disk space and different partition layout
ipq807x-5.15-pr-regdb --> No clue
ipq807x-5.15 --> No clue
Could you please explain me what the differences are?
Is there any OpenWrt repository which uses the MiWiFi stock blobs?

Ideally you want to bring iperf3 in connection with (h)top and not using the router as a iperf server.
Setup:
iperf server: wired pc connected to your router.
iperf client: either another wired pc or a wireless client connected to your router.
router: run htop to watch cpu usage. with nss in play there should be almost no cpu usage if offloading is working/enabled.
I do not have any reference. I just compared stock fw vs. openwrt in the past. But that was more then a year ago. Cannot even remember any values.

Can you share your repo with those patches ?
Thanks. But yes I know bitthief repo, just asked him for patches because I stuck at compile err 
out of curiosity can you tell me what /sys/kernel/debug/ecm/ecm_nss_ipv4/accelerated_count shows?
I did not upload it.
