OpenWrt for Huawei E5787, E5577

Hello,

I do not see Huawei's Mi-Fi routers (e.g. E5787, E5577) among supported by OpenWrt. What is the reason behind it?

If I want to port OpenWrt to these routers, what shall be my first step? Are there any blockers which makes porting impossible or hard?

Thanks in advance!

Knowing the chipsets used would be a good start, to know if it is even possible. It goes without saying that you need to be able to flash firmware on device, including firmware that isn't "signed" by the manufacturer or their OEM.

Chipset: HiSilicon LTE Cat6 Chipset (Cortex A9 Processor).

I have found "specs": https://www.4gltemall.com/downloads/dl/file/id/140/product/808/huawei_e5787s_33a_mobile_wifi_specifications_datasheet.pdf. But they are customer-oriented.

Ability to flash firmware is crucial, of course. I have no idea whether Huawei permit flashing of 3party firmware or not. But I see that several Huawei devices are presented in the OpenWrt matrix which looks promising.
