It's not likely to be a great "first hacking on OpenWRT" experience, but it should technically be possible... FWIW, I've been hacking on Google WiFi, the successor of the OnHub. I have it working, and documented pretty much everything here: https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/google/google_wifi For the OnHub, you could leverage the same partition formatting (OnHub is also running a similar Chrome OS bootloader), but you'd have to bring up a different SoC (OnHub uses ipq8064, while Google WiFi is ipq4019). OnHub also doesn't have as easy of serial-console access for hacking. And I don't see documentation for Developer Mode on OnHub, although I know it's possible. But, I'm interested, and if you really have the stamina to hack on it, I can be a sounding board!
