Is there somewere GPL sourcecode for it? The challenge is to port recent kernels and rewrite/port realtek drivers. Can you share bootlog?
RTL8197F?
is some interesting SoC
Looking at wikidevi there are already ~10 devices on sale, mostly from the cheap low cost side.
Anyway sources based on OpenWrt for v3.10 kernel
look for rtkmipsel target
I think almost all drivers are there
It should be feasible to use this as a starter
Where is openwrt_rtk with 3.10 kernel and where is recent openwrt with 4.14 kernel? Did you have time to look inside proprietary realtek driver's codebase? It is nearly impossible to port it onto recent linux kernels. @hackpascal did great work to port LEDE onto Realtek SoC but gave up. It is interesting to hear his point of view.
RTL8107F != RTL8196C
The latter one misses some patented functions, so it's/was a waste of time.
@xssa
Please follow the link I gave here
There is the sdk for rtk
And some defconfigs
RTL8107F != RTL8196C
@ElektromAn What is in difference?
You misunderstand me probably. I'm not about cpu core or it's architecture, but about drivers. They are written on plain C and have nothing to deal with Lexra or clean MIPS32 (and will run on both if compiled with right toolchain) but code itself is awful and is far from recent linux kernel standarts, thus has to be rewritten from scratch. Do you have needed datasheets for this SoCs, and knowledge, and time to perform this piece of hard work? IMO Realtek itself has to invest their efforts to be supported well in recent Linux kernels.
And about Realtek openwrt-RSDK - I know well what is inside it.
The code on openwrt-rtk
rtk_openwrt_sdk/target/linux/rtkmipsel/
is ugly, awful, whatever
They messed up the old lexra and new MIPS code.
Also some registers are not well named
i.e.for GPIO, pinmux, clok
And I have no datasheet at all.
@ElektromAn, here you can find some useful datasheets, and, again, @hackpascal already did big piece of porting work and indeed have knowledge to do the rest.
@xssa
The datasheets are for the older 9187D.
But I think parts of this may be the same for 9187F.
For initial support aka boot this is maybe sufficient.
Hmmm 
Hi All!
I have a D-Link DIR-842, and play with this device.
I have some information:

Realtek is a dead end for OpenWrt. You can only blame them for that. Don't buy hardware with their SoCs if OpenWrt support is what you're after.
Hi All!
The UPVEL ur825ac Barrier Breaker OpenWrt firmware (Upvel_OWRT_v0.1.2build39.bin) work on D-Link DIR-842 B1.
You can download more firmwares from:

I changed D-Link boot loader first.
I used CH341A spi flash programmer.

The RTL819x LEDE without Wifi compiled already.
You can find bootloader with Winbond W25Q128 support:

That is neither OpenWrt nor is a five-year-old OS suitable for any use, due to multiple, well-known, actively exploited vulnerabilities in the kernel, third-party applications, and 802.11 protocols.

Hi All!
I would use the original and newer OpenWrt.
If they exist, but not. Nothing.
The Barrier Breaker is more secured like brand routerOS.
I think: All brand (blackbox/closed) routerOS have factory backdoor:)))))
The RTL819x for LEDE from hackpascal compiled already.
I didn' try load mainline kernel wifi modules yet.
The finished "rootfs" is still too big.
I must configure required/needed modules, and packages.
When done, i will try upload to the router, and try load mainline wifi modules.

The Realtek SOC's (rtl8881a, rtl8196e, rtl819xd) DOESN'T CRIPLED MIPS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi All!
I checked the code of realtek SDK 2.5 and I found something very important.
The forums and openwrt informations contains:
"Realtek inherited a reduced mips ISA via Lexra"
Realtek SOC's have lexra core with reduced (crippled) mips funcionality.
The lexra core doesn't support four unaligned instructions:
" It was founded in 1997 and began developing and licensing semiconductor intellectual property cores that implemented the MIPS I architecture, except for the four unaligned load and store (lwl, lwr, swl, swr) instructions. "
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT
The Realtek SOC's (rtl8881a, rtl8196e, rtl819xd) support these four unaligned load and store opcodes (lwl, lwr, swl, swr) !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conclusion:
The Realtek SOC's (rtl8881a, rtl8196e, rtl819xd)are full MIPS. The instruction set is the same as the mips r3000 and not the r6000.
The MIPS R6000 doesn't support unaligned instruction opcodes.

There is a guy who ported RTL8186 in linux kernel and successfully able to boot it https://github.com/yashac3/linux-rtl8186 . RTL8186 doesn't support unaligned load and store opcodes (lwl, lwr, swl, swr). But RTL8196E does as u say and I have a RTL8196E device. I followed his steps like 1 year ago and try to do a port for my 8196E but it didn't worked, back then I didn't know that 8196E is a full MIPS. Do u want to check his port and continue ?
I have ported the RTL8196E RTL8197D and RTL8197F SoC from Realtek to the last master of Openwrt (as of today).
The port have the necessary code for those SoCs. I used the @hackpascal initial port as a start and have ported RLX4181 and RLX5281 Lexra processors. Those are easier to port, as they have the unaligned instructions. Musl is working in lexra now...
RTL8197F uses a full 24k mips processor, so, no modification is needed in the toolchain...
For the SoCs:
All the SoC drivers are implemented and tested (gpio, pci, irq, timers, etc), for the three SoCs. One can port a router to openwrt just creating a DTS file for it (and changing the Makefiles, as any normal port for openwrt).
The problem is with network and wireless. RTL8196E based routers can use the RTL8192EE open source wifi driver from mac80211 package. Most routers that use RTL8197D SoC also use RTL8192EE for 2.4 and RTL8812 for 5... Both drivers are open source on linux kernel...
TODO:
- Network and switch driver: hackpascal has started the port for RE865X driver. Need rework for new SoCs....
- RTL8197F 2.4Ghz wireless driver: This SoC uses an internal wifi, but can be ported to the new RTW88 driver, as they use the same structs (8192EE uses this structs too, but is implemented in the old driver... May a port of 8192EE to the new driver can help too
) - Performace: The main focus right now is compatibility... We need to improve for performace....
Use the ramdisk for now... As we dont have the network driver right now, we must use the serial port to bootup... The cvimg boot can be used, but is now of much use right now...
Any help and feedback are welcome

Devices are only merged through the master branch, for that kernel 5.4 support would be a hard requirement.
Realtek SOCs haven't seen a lot of love so far, because of the lexra issue (in all but the latest SOCs) and because they're usually very low-spec and with a "challenging" wireless support state. If those issues can be solved (musl support can also be considered a hard requirement), there wouldn't be much of a reason not to merge support for these devices (obviously there needs to be sufficient development manpower behind it, to suggest longer term attention).
