It's built on the AP-MTKH7-0002 REV1.0 board
shared with the DIR-878 & DIR-882 but with 128M NAND Flash a bit like the DIR-853-A3
so it's won't be hard but someone who has one has to do it

After having a look through the hardware online and in my own device I noticed that it is different from the DIR-853 A1 which uses a 16MB flash . Mine is a 128Mb NAND instead.
After using the work from Support for DIR-878 and which lucky for me only had 4 files changed from the main openwrt tree I managed to build an image that boots but I am ge…
