Hello,
I'm new to this forum and LEDE in general.
I'm very interested in contributing to the project by (helping in) adding support for the D-Link DIR 845L, I own.
In order to do this, I already created a device page in the OpenWRT Wiki, only afterwards I learned about what happened, so here I am posting in the LEDE forum ^^
the wiki page will be ported once we got working support for the device
anyways as you can see from the wiki page, I was able to take a look at the pcb and access the device via telnet and serial and thereby got all the required data.
An "attached" 7z-file contains further data, I was able to collect thusfar.
The 7z contains:
2 prebuild Wifi binaries from the GPL tarball (one for 2.5 and one for 5 GHz)
architecture diff
includes diff
drivers diff
a text file with lines from the bootloader, that looked important to me
data I got from traversing the linux file tree using telnet and cat
the official firmware's source released under GPL:
http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/GPL.asp
I hope someone, who is familiar with the ramips target in general, will be able to help/guide me further, so we can get working support for the 6856F plattform.
I know, that I need to setup a build root now and create a flash driver and a device tree.
What I don't know for example is, how I should proceed with the given kernel config from the tarball or the diff files in general.
I skipped through them already, but I'm probably missing lots of knowledge to be able to filter out what's important and what isn't.
Stuff that confused me a bit:
/proc/cpuinfo and other places seem to list stuff, that isn't accurate in every case.
The cpu isn't the Ralink RT63165 after all and the flash isn't exactly called MX25L12805D.
I guess the RT63165 might be similar enough to the RT6856F or it's some kind of family and RT6856F is a part of it.
I'll definitely be able to test out first tries of the firmware in a ramdisk on the device and provide logs and so on.
Thx in advance! 
Regards,
Djfe
