GPT-5.6 just finished writing a shim for me in rust that sits between Broadcom’s bullshit kernel and a standard Linux user space to turn my mesh routers into standard computers. At some point I’m not sure what the difference is in practice.

Note: I can’t code. Not a line.

That is amazing, I am surprised how the other replies to your comment just ignore that aspect pf it.

I thought it was cool too, though I understand AI use is a heated debate and I think people get their backs up that some dumb illiterate like me who can't code has ghidra on my laptop decompiling kernel headers. I get it, the deluge is coming for my job too.

What do you need your tiny routers to do?

[selectodude]

Not run all of ASUS's unstable garbage software.

Does this work on early Velop mesh nodes, by chance?

Doubt it - Linksys encrypts their firmware. ASUS not only doesn't, but left everything in the binary that made it really easy for GPT-5.6 to crack it open and decompile everything in ghidra.
