There is unofficial support here, maybe that helps?

Thanks...

i have used this branch for creating image and but only factory image is working fine. sysupgrade has problem and it left a bricked router.

Because of it i am trying to understand BSP level stuff like

  1. flash layout
  2. led supports
  3. wifi drivers to be selected in make menuconfig
  4. jffs internals as after reboot config is not saved.
