Hello,
I have had an old DIR-615 that has been stuck in LEDE 17.01.4 for as long as the development stopped for the hardware.
I would like to change it for a new unnamed access point I found that is based on the MT7620A chip, it has 512Mb (64MB) DDR2 SDRAM ( NT5TU32M16DG), 64Mb (8MB) of serial flash (MX25L6406E), has 2 eth ports (going to the SoC) with no external switch.
Do you know of any OpenWrt image that would be close enough to this device to work? I'm looking for a premade image, I haven't compiled anything with an OS before (only microcontrollers). I took some info from the original OS, it's a Chinese AP, but it has telnet:

I don't know if it's relevant, please tell me if you want to know more commands or chip numbers. I was also wondering if there was a way to take an image of the original software before modifying it, and what is the best way to flash it, the utility on the Chinese webpage or some tftp/telnet command, or a TTL to USB. Please let me know, thanks!
