Image
The differences between this and the previous release(2018-04-11) is that the following packages are integrated by default:
WIFI support package(wmt)
MMC tool
LUCI(based on branch lede-17.01)
Strongwan
You will get three images from below image links:
build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/linux-mediatek_32/mtk-bpi-r2-SD.img: This is for SD image, please program it to SD card by executing command “dd if=mtk-bpi-r2-SD.img of=/dev/mmcblkx”
build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/linux-mediatek_32/mtk-bpi-r2-EMMC.img: This is for EMMC image, please follow below steps to program it EMMC:
We need another system which is running on SD card to program EMMC image to EMMC, please follow below steps to do:
Copy EMMC image to a running system which is from SD card
Program EMMC image to User Data Area of EMMC: dd if=mtk-bpi-r2-EMMC.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 (assume /dev/mmcblk0 is for EMMC)
Program preloader to EMMC boot0 block: dd if=mtk-bpi-r2-EMMC.img of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0 bs=1M count=1
Change the Partition configurion of EMMC is 48h: reboot the system which is running SD, and enter the U-boot command line, run command emmc pconf 48 (for this steps, we can change partition configuration in userspace by using mmc-utils, see more information in BPI-R2 OpenWrt(LEDE) Souce code : 2018-04-11)
Power off, remove SD card, and then power on R2 board.
This is for runtime upgrade, copy it to R2 board which is running OpenWrt system(no matter where(SD or EMMC) it boots from), and then run command “sysupgrade lede-mediatek-32-bananapi,bpi-r2-sysupgrade.tar” to update both kernel and rootfs.
Note1: sysupgrade can be executed when jffs2 file system is initialized completely, the log “jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem: complete building xattr subsystem” means the initialization of jffs2 file system is done.
Note2: The images in Image link2 are compiled with hard-float, and you can install the userland package which is from online repositories.
Two pre-program image and one upgrade package are generated
Add uboot package to this project(package/boot/uboot-mtk-bpi-r2)
Two Ethernet interfaces and switch works
Both PCIe0 and PCIe1 works
sysupgrade tool is supported
Both SATA interfaces works
LUCI support(New)
Updating from web is supported, please use image lede-mediatek-32-bananapi,bpi-r2-sysupgrade.tar
If you use image from Image link 2, installing a userland package from online repositories is supported.
Limitations
Both HDMI and MIPI interface do NOT work
PCIe2 (which is shared with USB3.0) does NOT work
BT doesn’t work
If you use image from Image link 1, installing package from online repository(opkg update/install) is not supported, the workaround is that please build the package you required by yourself.
Don’t use the latest code of feeds. looks like they are unstable.
If I want to compile image by myself, I got errors((
and I tries to use already compiled images…
Why I does not see any WIFI-Interfaces with your image? (last image has same problem for me) May be I have different onboard wifi on my BPI-R2?
What information I need provide to you?
Is necessary to make (from instruction):
Unlock EMMC boot0 block:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro Program preloader to EMMC boot0 block:
dd if=mtk-bpi-r2-EMMC.img of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0 bs=1M count=1
if I have normal boot?.. (I makes Partition configuration changes last time when I has problem with booting from eMMC)
Sorry @frank-w, but your answer is not informative; echo 1
just print 1 in console; it’s obviously;
Please, if someone have some ask be sure that your answer have a fully recomendation for solve question/problem… or provide a link which contain information about same problem. Thank you!
i make client mode via LUCI (long time ago for testing) on my current TP-Link router, but remove this mode;
I need to make AP like on my curent TP-Link… but not sure that be worked on BPI-R2.
my current configs (from TP-Link (MAC/KEYS edited):
Sorry…
I can not use wireless interface on my BPI-R2, because I do not have driver (nl80211 or mac80211); build.sh from @frank-w wiki returns many errors

Both USB3.0 is working fine, but PCIe2 doen’t work, we have a patch to fix, but this will cause one USB3.0 to be unavailable, also on standard R2 board, there is no mPCIe slot for PCIe2.
Hello…
Can someone ask…
After clonning new image your OpenWRT works normally or not?
Any packages which I want to install does not work… any PACKAGES…
for example tries to install git:

for now I still have a BPI-R2 device that can not work correctly.
I am very disappointed((
I like OpenWRT, and I do not has a plans to use Raspbian(debian) on my BPI-R2
Is someone have properly workes new OpenWRT image?? (can you show succesfully installed package in expamle?)
This is an known limitation, the packages in online repository are based on /lib/ld-musl-armhf.so.1, but the default setting of our openwrt project is based on /lib/ld-musl-arm.so.1.
So we can NOT install the package from online reposiitory so far.

May be I have different onboard wifi on my BPI-R2?
