hello,
Do you know of any devices using this processor?
No open support for broadcom DSL, little to no for wifi. Look for unsupported fresh devices like free CPE-s
I know it won't be openwrt. I have a device provided by ISP, TP-Link. The interface is limited. I'm looking for a firmware with similar hardware. I connected to the device via serial. There is certain information. However, I could not find a device with similar equipment.

No open firmware supports broadcom DSL.
Check some dsl user forums for unlocking hidden menus in your CPE UI. Certainly not here.
then you're asking at the wrong place, this forum is for openwrt.
another option is to switch to a modem (not Broadcom based) supported by openwrt
