## Brief explanation of this process
Like any software, the process to run it on another platform for which it was not designed is the porting process.
For this you must meet the minimum requirements that consist of:
1. The hardware must support the instructionset and endianness. In this case it must be mips or mipsel.
2. The hardware in characteristics must be similar to the original or better.
3. The binaries to be compiled for OpenWrt 19.07.02 only work correctly in this version. Starting from a bigger version adds complications in the process and surely less things will work on the device.
I could spend hours explaining how the analysis was carried out and what is the explanation behind each decision taken. I summarize it in these steps:
1. We extract the original file system to work.
2. We generate the list of dependencies to be installed. For this I developed the script `opkg-parser.php`.
3. We generate a composite FS with the things that are not third party dependencies. For this I made the lists of files to copy in each case and programmed a small script that uses those lists to automate the process.
4. We analyze those files and edit them to make them work on any device. You guessed it, for this step I also decided to make a script, it called `fs-patcher.sh`.
5. We generate the build and iterate the process until we have a fully functional port. This step can become a time consuming black hole.

## Automatic Build steps
All these steps are automated in `dependencies-install.sh` and `builder.sh`.
