I managed to build and install the 0.1 release of OpenWrt for SL3516 based devices. It needed some small tweaks to make it compile but nothing too serious. The only pitfall was that you need to change the gcc version from 4.2 (pre-selected) to 4.1.2. If you don’t do this there will be no init process at the and of the kernel boot. There is something wrong with the toolchain. The produced kernels are fine but the userspace programs are not working. Thanks to Paolo Scaffardi for the hint.
