Hello,
i have a Cisco Small Business RV082 wich is unsupported by Openwrt/lede...
Wikidevi: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Cisco_RV082_v3
So 32MB Flash and 256MB RAM
A few days ago i found on internet that someone found how to "hack" the firmware, by asking the GPL code to cisco. And then he was able to compile a new firmware with SSH + Telnet enabled. Everything is described here : https://www.treshaut.net/viewtopic.php?t=37
So i flashed this "unlocked" Firmware. Everything is working, SSH and Telnet are enabled as described in the tutorial

I wouldn't flash generic image as it has not partition defined.
SOC is supported as Edgerouter Lite uses the same SOC as RV082 v3.
You would need someone who made support for Edgerouter since the whole Octeon target is currently customized for Edgerouter.
Also if Cisco is using any kind of many HW offloads in Cavium that wont work
That image is not for flashing, that is kernel image that is used to load LEDE kernel in order to then sysupgrade to device appropriate image when you cant use web UI or ssh of the device since they do firmware checking.
That is imagebuilder, you use it to make customized images for already supported devices.
I doubt that anyone will see this thread if you don't know someone willing to do the work.
No you cant,since that is only the beggining.
You would need to figure out if they use something special and whether RTL8306SD and RTL8309G are even supported.
And then device specific configuration would be needed
RTL8306SD is supported,while RTL8309G was used in D-Link DIR-632-A1 and OpenWRT used custom patch for a71xx to support that switch.
I am afraid that it would be a waste of time getting all of this to work
well, being able to flash LEDE on that router was the last reason to keep it. The original firmware doesn't have support for VLAN on WAN side which make this router totaly useless...Even cheap routers like tplink have vlan support on WAN...shame on Cisco.
