Could you build this?
No Passive Optical Network (PON) drivers for OpenWrt require embedded Linux kernel driver development, optical transceiver PHY interface control, and proprietary SoC/chipset register-level integration. This requires deep telecom networking hardware and Linux kernel engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: Developing PON drivers entails writing low-level C Linux kernel modules interfacing with specific optical network termination (ONT/ONU) chipsets (e.g., Realtek, MediaTek, or Broadcom GPON/EPON SoCs). Engineers must implement the ITU-T G.984 (GPON) or IEEE 802.3ah (EPON) framing layers, OMCI state machines, and optical power calibration using hardware datasheets and proprietary register documentation. Access to optical test benches, OLT equipment, and deep telecom firmware engineering skills are required.
