Task should be not so hard - device (SoC) is supported in OpenWRT, so it'll require just patched/configured kernel, working toolchain and some magic for image building. Before that - we should make changes into building scripts: 1) Some kind of platform-dependent packages, that are built only for limited number of archs; 2) IMHO we should make buildimage.pl more flexible/extendable - for ex., place all routines that are related to image building into separate files like was done for buildtool.pl source types. So if we building 'syslinux' image - we prepare temporary dir with files, include 'syslinux.pl' file and call it's routine 'MakeImage' with list of files; for 'isolinux' target - in same way we include 'isolinux.pl' and call routine with same name, and so on. In that case we can extend targets easily, w/o need of reviewing all logic of buildimage.pl for adding new target.
