Installing on Wavlink WN-529R2P

ok so to start

  1. open the case and record all chip models

  2. Identify the UART pins (you did already) :+1:

  3. study a similar commit to make a similar DTS and profile

  4. build an initramfs-kernel.bin and load that over TFTP to boot (NOT flash)

here is a commit for a mostly similar board for example

https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=dbaf0d20bb6afec4a592456af6b1238b46fa1acb

generic building guide

to build initramfs-kernel.bin in ramips

in make menuconfig
after selecting Target Profile
select Target Images
enable ramdisk

edit: before going through the build process see if there is a command or key for loading TFTP in the bootloader

you can paste your serial logs here
