You can already do that with the rspro. I have a modified mkfwimage and everything which I've been meaning to turn into a port. It should work fine on AR71xx and AR91xx ubiquiti devices. Anything else (eg the AR724x PCIe devices and the earlier SoCs with embedded macs) aren't currently supported. If you have a Routerstation or Routerstation pro then I know for certain everything except the ethernet switch PHY works (so no hardware VLANs.) As for help preparing the images? I can't do that for various reasons, sorry. But I'll make up a mkfwimage port in the next couple days with the modifications to build routerstation pro flash images. Someone with a routerstation board can help me make similar changes for that.
