Could you build this?
No This is a custom Linux kernel (6.18) port and patchset for the Xiaomi BE7000 Wi-Fi 7 router, avoiding kexec workarounds. Porting Linux kernels to proprietary Qualcomm router SoCs requires advanced embedded systems, device tree hacking, and board bring-up expertise.
What it would actually take: Porting OpenWrt natively to modern Wi-Fi 7 hardware like the Xiaomi BE7000 (Qualcomm IPQ5332/IPQ9574 platform) requires reverse-engineering proprietary bootloaders (U-Boot/SBL), writing Device Tree Source (DTS) definitions, and patching kernel drivers for proprietary Ethernet PHYs and PCIe Wi-Fi chipsets. The hard part is achieving hardware stabilization without vendor kexec hacks, managing secure boot/partition maps, and handling thermal management and hardware acceleration offload (NSS/PPE). This requires a senior embedded Linux kernel engineer equipped with serial UART consoles and hardware debugging tools.
