Illegal instruction issue
V8 JIT code DOES generate FP instructions. Node.js may not work without hardware FPU or kernel FPU emulation.
If you are running nodejs on Atheros AR71xx, AR933x, You need to make a kernel with MIPS_FPU_EMULATOR option.
On Trunk branch, You can configure using menuconfig.
make menuconfig
Global build settings --->
Kernel build options --->
[*] Compile the kernel with MIPS FPU Emulator
On lede-17.01 branch, You can configure using kernel_menuconfig.
make kernel_menuconfig
Kernel type --->
[*] MIPS FPU Emulator
Also ARM core without vfp or neon (bcm53xx etc) not work. There is no solution in this case.
Note about avahi and homebridge
(1) "libdns_sd.so" is required to build homebridge package. To install this library, select "libavahi-compat-libdnssd" and press 'y' sets the <*> as built-in label.
make meuconfig
Libraries --->
<*> libavahi-compat-libdnssd........ An mDNS/DNS-SD implementation (libdnssd)
It is meant select Avahi dbus version instead of Avahi non-dbus version.
(2) Some OpenWRT / Lede images have built in dnscrypt-proxy package, which by default listening on 5353 port.
In that case, installed avahi-daemon will not start on ipv4 interface, only on ipv6 because ipv4 port is taken.
This will lead to strange issue: your homebrdge accessory will be visible in 'Home' app, but can't finish pairing.
To fix this, you have to stop and disable dnscrypt-proxy
Also, you have to enable: dbus and avahi-daemon services to start automatically, i.e for Lede:
/etc/init.d/dbus enable
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon enable
(3) avahi on home network
Please read this document. 'Why avahi and bonjour don't work on your home network'
IGMP-querier will solve your problem.

Low memory
Specify v8-options.
--max_old_space_size=20 --initial_old_space_size=4 --max_semi_space_size=2 --max_executable_size=5 --optimize_for_size
