Could you build this?

No This is a board-support package/bootloader port for the Airoha AN758x networking chipset, requiring deep embedded systems, hardware schematics, and low-level C firmware expertise.

What it would actually take: Developing this requires deep knowledge of MIPS/ARM architectures, SoC memory maps, and bootloader internals (U-Boot). The hard parts are reverse engineering proprietary hardware registers, configuring DDR timing controllers, clock gating, SPI/NAND flash drivers, and network PHYs without public documentation. It requires specialized embedded hardware engineering, hardware debugging equipment (JTAG/UART logic analyzers), and proprietary silicon datasheets.
