Mhh, I've missed that part of Juans mail. It's not clear to me what Juan tried to load and run from ram. Loadx and run the kernel from ram is a brilliant idea. Albeit I've done it dozen times with u-boot, I never considered doing the same with brnboot. I might have some time later the day to give it a try. I couldn't manage to start an uncompressed LEDE kernel from ram. I've tried kernels with brncmdline and without. But the router immediately resets itself. Running the uncompressed recovery kernel from ram worked however.

This looks like a dual image configuration with 10MB for each image, there 128MB NAND flash is probably the cheapest solution. >> If I try to read from above address the router gets locked. >> >> I can read from certain area like memory or 0xBC00 or 0xBE00 >> but others locks the router. > > You can not access the NAND flash via the system memory addresses.

You can try to build an ascii (UART) u-boot for this device. But this requires the correct GPIO settings and matching memory parameters for the RAM chip. Usually I'm extracting the RAM chip parameters from the brnboot binary. But this seams to me a "chicken or the egg" problem here. What's more likely to work is to create a second stage (brnboot) u-boot which doesn't have to do the low level chip initialisation and can be started from the brnboot shell [1]. You can use the u-boot for the BT HomeHub 5A [2] as a beginning and add the missing SYS_BOOT_BRN stuff from the VGV7510KW22 [3]. This might allow you to dump the NAND from the second stage u-boot.
