There is a TP-LINK R860 router. Is it not in the list of supported OpenWRT devices? Is it possible to install OpenWRT, DDWRT or RouterOS from Mikrotik on it. I asked everything in a heap, but still I hope someone will tell me?

Nobody knows how to Marvell cpu at the moment.
Flash is not enough, RAM is also not enough. No prospects.

It's like in a joke:
- is it possible to eat fly agaric?
You can, but only once.
If you're not lucky (with some routers you can't restore if you fail), the router will also turn into a piece of iron ... IMHO, of course I can be wrong.

still possible. sources are open. cut the kernel and drivers and forward.
Yes, but the router still needs quite a powerful one. once installed on a weak router. everything got up fine. The web interface opens, but it only reboots constantly because the memory is over. and everything slowed down because the processor load was almost weaving.
