I know you sell it 85usb, but it’s not in stock now. This is a problem for who wanna buy at the moment. That mt7623a board has only 512MB ram, nand 128MB and too expensive

what are the requirements for a free sample? how far is the progress with the core-functionality (router,access-point with internal wifi-adapter) is there a manual on how-to install (debian/raspbian) on eMMC?
btw. you have a typo on your site http://www.banana-pi.org/r2.html:
Quad-code => Quad-Core and btw. Bananian is dead. refer to https://www.bananian.org/news#the_end_-_2017-04-02
why not posting it here?
i think its more useful, if all infos/discussion will be collected here
Here too - my friend,
but on my website I will write it in german

ok, i’m from germany too 
…“too” ? Sorry I’m not from German…
German is not my native Language
Thank you! Where is buy fxs/fxo and e1 board for him?
are there different versions (second pcie-Port)?
Yep. Please explain once more what is v1.1 and what will be v2.0 and when.
Any result using hostapd and general experience with testing wifi-ap/routing/nat functionality?
Is Rasbian image supported?
Will there be any bundle with case/antenna/power-supply?
As for asterisk - may do some testing, currently works well with r1 3.4 and chan_dongle gsm modem, yet no pri or analog ports.
Wonderful questions…
Hardware should be adapted to software? 
Any updates? Planning to order some new routers soon, but “recommended” Ubuntu with 4.4 kernel confuses. Any luck using more modern (e.g. 4.9.x) kernels armbian\raspbian image?
I get one on AliExpress (awaiting for packing). But I love to embed FreeBSD into such board, so free sample may help. One for home use, second for development, if you interesting. As you know there two very cool project running FreeBSD, which may perfectly extend interest to board. This is FreeNAS for home/office storage and pfSense for home/office/company firewall.
I’ve been watching the R2 development and discussion with great interest.
With a free sample (preferably including case) i offer to build and document a headless / lite version (no GUI), from the existing image (ubuntu mate). I would try to make it both in the form of an image as well as a script.
I’ve been running self-configured headless rpi, even before that was officially available for download.
Let me know if there’s interest.
i have found most drivers available on mainline kernel, you could start to port those drivers you have interest such as ethernet and switch mt7530 driver
I would interested in a sample as well. I work for my ISP as an equipment technician. I test equipment constantly. I would like to take the sample and use it to configure and test other routers. My current test system for this uses 4 raspberry pi’s(My bosses boss thought they had gigabit ports) which doesn’t quite push the limits of our current routers. I added some usb gigabit adapters to get more from it but still not stress testing by any means. We are beginning deployment of a new router. While I have relaxed period on testing the routers, I am looking to find a new testing system.
How I plan to utilize the sample to test: I would setup DHCP through the wan port and create network namespaces on each the lan interfaces. Run ssh scripts for configuration and iperf tests across the wan interface to the wan interface of our new router. The iperf traffic will continue through the router being tested to the sample lan interfaces. Ideally I will get my hands on a mPCIe wireless 802.11ac card to also be able to test the wireless.
Another possible use is to test our cable modems. My company has started exploring gigabit cable modems. We also have fiber and telephone services. The telephone services may be a possible chance to set it up with bpx(probably use on of the raspberry pi’s for this and control it using this board) and/or possibly automate phone tests(really tired of calling myself… seriously I call myself like a hundred times a day) and ethernet port tests of our MTAs and ONTs. Although we also do television as well, I don’t think this quite fits the bill for testing that sort of thing.
As I am asking for the sample for myself, if I prove its value after setting it up, my company would end up buying at least one(obviously I would keep this sample for myself[mine mine mine]). I would also being interested in any other samples you might interested giving of course but I am not sure how I might make us on them until they were offered. Obviously I will find ways to at least make use of it/kill it with stress }:). Thank you for taking the time read my sample request.
Did you forget something went wrong with this sample?
Best regards
