Quoting from the supported hardware list, and likewise from the Attitude
Adjustment announcement made earlier this year:

"Note that with the release of 'Attitude Adjustment (12.09 final)' on 25th
April 2013, 'Lower end devices with only 16 MiB RAM will easily run out of
Memory…'."

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start

I do see that some device on that list are spec'ed at 16MB RAM, and I can
only guess those are old entries.

My own attempts to get recent versions of OpenWRT running on a FONera 2100
router, which has the same CPU and RAM capacity as your device, proved
futile due to memory exhaustion and random kernel crashes.  Even without
the LUCI UI.

My understanding is that the memory requirement is a hard limit.
