No Porting OpenWrt to an unsupported carrier optical network terminal (ONT) requires low-level board bring-up, proprietary Realtek SoC drivers, and PON telecom protocol expertise.
What it would actually take: The project requires creating a Board Support Package (BSP) within OpenWrt, developing custom Linux kernel device tree sources (DTS), and patching proprietary SoC drivers. The hard part is extracting, reverse-engineering, or forward-porting vendor kernel modules for the RTL9617CVW optical MAC layer (GPON/EPON OMCI stack) and proprietary hardware packet forwarding engines (HNAT/PPE). This requires specialized embedded Linux engineering, hardware debugging (UART/JTAG), and telecom networking protocol knowledge.
