Support for Huawei B320-323 aka 4G CPE 5s

Hello OpenWRT team, I would like to request support for the Huawei B320-323 router model aka "4G CPE 5s" in future firmware releases. This device is based on Huawei’s B320 series, and it offers good hardware specifications 128 MB ROM and RAM, that could benefit greatly from OpenWRT’s flexibility and advanced networking features. Adding support for this model would enable users like me which rely on Mobile Networks to unlock more functionality and extend the device’s lifespan through open-source development. I’m happy to provide any technical details, firmware dumps, or testing assistance needed to help with development and validation. Thank you for considering this request.

Dont see that anywhere https://gitcode.com/org/openharmony/repos

if you could help with ota or webui firmware, likely outcome it is some exotic proprie%ary platform alltogether.

Open it up., remove any RF shields, and post photos.

Just to be very clear up front, the only one adding support for this device would (most likely) be you, yourself - if it's possible in the first place (Huawei tends to use their own chipsets, with zero linux support). Device support can only be added by someone with the hardware on their desk - and it's rather unlikely that requests like this will motivate anyone to go out and buy this hardware with their own money to start such an endeavour (with an unclear outcome). Device support doesn't materialize out of thin air, it's hard work with an unclear result - and there's rarely anyone taking requests (which cost money and weeks+ of their time) - most device support is contributed by the owners of their hardware, because they have a motivation to get OpenWrt running.

binwalk OTA or flash dump - if it is non-mainline SoC no chance. Type device_soc_ in search in that not-git-gub list - few platforms are perfectly supportable, but likely not in shallow end of price range.
