New Freetz Alien 7530 -> 7490

[FaserF]

Unfortunatly the 7490 is now stuck at an outdated FritzOS 07.59
The Fritzbox 7530 has recieved FritzOS 8 and technically it should be possible to maybe create an alien here. I tried searching up which Fritzbox got FritzOS 8 and shares the most similare hardware to 7490

Here are some reasons:

• Broadcom chipset: Both use Broadcom technology, which makes porting the firmware easier.
• DSL support: Both support ADSL/VDSL connections, with the 7530 also supporting supervectoring (VDSL2 with 35b).
• Similar range of functions: The basic functions for DSL, WLAN and telephony are similar.
• Current architecture: The 7530 offers more modern components, but is simpler in design than the high-end models such as the 7590

I am too unexperienced and failed already before in creating an alien. But I would be very happy to see someone here giving it a try, I am also happy to test it.
If that would be possible, it could maybe also be possible to port the firmware to the 3490, as @LizenzFass78851 did with porting 7490 FW to 3490

The Fritzbox 7490 is one of the most popular Fritzboxes and many people are still using it, so hopefully quite a range of people could profit from this :)

Practically the one is ARM, the other MIPS. Maybe another one does fit better

Thanks! Just checked it and there is no newer model (with newer firmware) that's on MIPS architecture. Then I think it won't be possible

7590 is mips, but dsl and wlan chips should match.
without drivers (kernel modules) these compolents dont work
