I'm curious if this access point from D-Link could be used with OpenWrt...
The serial port is already there in JP1; the pinouts is TX, GND, 3,3V, N.C., RX.
I have established serial access and this is the OEM bootlog:

All the wiki pages for the already supported devices deals with installing OpenWrt using TFTP Server method; before any attempt is it possible to load a firmware image on RAM and then load form there, without flashing?
Which steps should I follow to prevent bricking the device during my attempts to be able to restore original firwmare?? (dump OEM flash, or...?)
