[LEDE-DEV] VRV9510KWAC23

[Juan Rios]

Hello again. Thanks to borderline at
http://foro.seguridadwireless.net/openwrt/(desarrollo)-openwrt-en-livevox-next-(astoria-networks-vrv9510)/
I could install the ZyXEL P-2812HNU-F1 uboot and I can boot into it.

What I did was shortcut the flash pins like described here
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/arv7519#bootloader_hack till I
got the VR9 prompt and
then used U -> 0 and uploaded via xmodem the file
https://github.com/ScApi/P2812HNUFx-Pre-Build/blob/OpenWrt-Designated-Driver-r47026/F1%20OpenWRT/uboot-lantiq-p2812hnufx_nandtpl/openwrt-lantiq-p2812hnufx_nandtpl-u-boot.img

With that installed this is the bootlog

How can I get the information to make a proper .dts file for this
device ? The layout of the flash for the P-2812HNU-Fx has nothing to
do with this device.
