I have wiped 'by mistake' the FortiWiFi OS partition. The license has expired even before we received the device hence Fortinet does not offer the official firmware, but that's another story. Is there a test image of OpenWRT to put on this device in order to unbrick it?
Three FortiWiFi devices are supported, 60F isn't one of them.
No. The only supported Fortinet routers are:
FG-30E
FG-50E
FG-51E
FG-52E
FWF-50E-2R
FWF-51E

Unlike most other Fortinet devices, those are built out of commodity components (processors and built-in switches are Marvell, wireless networking, if present, is Qualcomm Atheros). No custom silicon, for which Fortinet is known…
Thank you . So the FWF-60F has some custom silicon making it unlikely or impossible to ever be supported by OpenWRT?
It means no one opened one up to find out.
At least the radio's Qualcomm, the rest is hard(er) to see - https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/TVE-121757A/.
Thank you guys , you're amazing! Looking at the data i see the problem could be the network card, which seems to be proprietary. Am i correct here?
In addition, the SoC is FortiSOC4 not supported by Linux and OpenWrt.

Yes. It has the proprietary SOC4 ASIC.
Actually, someone did (or at least has seen some relevant paperwork):
Well yes, there are FCC photos too, I meant "here".
