Are you want Banana Pi BPI-R4 8GB RAM version

Banana Pi Router design BPI-R4(MT7988)
10

8 gigs of ram, be19 module, vertical case, dpdk vpp.

Or only wired router with 10gig fibers and 2.5gig switch and maybe some place for m.2 nvme ssd. Fanless.

11

I am highly interested in an 8GiB version.

12

8GiB of RAM would surely be cool, however, being a router board I’d much more fancy a version with PoE and 10G, ie. use an external Aquantia 10GE PHY instead of the built-in 2.5GE of the MT7988.

13

Can’t you put a 10G fiber / copper module in the sfp+ port? Or is a on board port more efficient?

14

Sfp cannot do PoE…thats the cause for integrated 10g phy

15

I would like to get an 8GB version. I became interested in this option with planning to try my hand at doing this myself following [BPI-R4] Successfully upgraded 8GB RAM on BPI-R4 including upgrading eMMC storage.

I would much rather buy an 8GB version directly as I’m not confident in my BGA rework ability :sweat_smile:

16

Yes, 8gb would make samba and especially docker containers work better!

Agree with nextgen-networks assessment of x, BTW. I don’t need their DB knowing what router hw/sw I’m using…

17

Yeah, I’d buy some! What is the level of commitment that would be needed to make this happen?

@sinovoip 8GB would be amazing but would be great to have the txpower WiFi driver sorted first :slight_smile:

Yes, that’s what I’ve tried last time. :slight_smile: After question what is my project i never got any further reply. P.S. It’s for my home lab and i only need 1 or 2, so unless it’s mass produced i suppose the chance to get it from BPI is very low :frowning:

23

We will mass produce BPI-R4 8GB RAM version

i’m happy with my BPI-R3… i only use 10G between NAS and PC so no need for 10Gbit ports on my router as there is no Fibre here yet :frowning: While 7Ghz WiFi7 would be really nice, i manage 800-1500mbits on 5Ghz. That’s enough. i Only have bare necessity as docker on my Router. Most of the stuff runs on my NAS… so i don’t need 8GB Router… i really don’t okay…

27

If my vote counts, please make a Wi-Fi module that has more power than the BE14.

Wrong topic for this comment :zipper_mouth_face:!

Will it be sold on the official ali express store?
