My BPI-R3 is working great with the,
openwrt-23.05.0-rc3-92a7d087de39-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-sdcard.img
Many thanks to those who has made this happen.
Though, I do note a problemâŚ
In menu item Status, Channel Analysis, there is no update, and in a short time, I get Session timeout, it logs me out, and I have to relogin.
Hello, I got my device yesterday and had it working till I gave it a bad backup openwrt file. I have since attempted to boot from sdcard and all it does is say this?

which sd-card vendor/model do you use? we have seen some sporadic mmc-issues in uboot on R3, but have not nailed down to root cause as they do not happen always.
But flashing to NAND or EMMC is not working. NAND will boot cycle but when switching over will then just boot to the shipping firmware. EMMC does not flash nor boot at all. When looking at /dev/mmcblk0 I can see no partition table exists. Can anyone offer some advise of how to debug/fix or will I need to get a serial console running to see uboot debug output?
Hi everyone, Iâve just received my Banana Pi r3 and just getting started with it, serial console is ready and connected, sd card burnt is ready with latest Snapshot from official openwrt
Just to confirm, i should boot from sd card and install to nand in bootloader menu? After itâs done, power off device, switch boot switch to boot from nand? Thatâs it?
Few questions
Latest Snapshot is good to go?
Will it update my bootloader as well?
Nand vs nor , anyone using it on nor , whatâs performance difference? Whatâs preferred
Please mention any additional steps needed for process above?
If you want to use the device in production right away and not be bothered with (rare) bugs in snapshot images, Iâd recommend to use the OpenWrt 23.05.3 release instead which is known to be stable and work well on this device.
Yes, choosing to install via the bootloader menu will write the bootloader to the target media (and this is needed. you cannot run vanilla OpenWrt with SinoVoipâs loader which lacks features for uImage.FIT and device-tree overlays).
Itâs important to mention that most problems users have been reporting with the installation process were due to faulty or bad microSD cards. If anything doesnât work, try with a different microSD card.
Also be aware that all 4 dip switches for choosing the boot device (A, B) and chip-select on SPI (C) and MMC (D) bus need to be in the correct position for each step of the installation:
So âDonât careâ isnât really true, you do need to care also about those.
hello there! i got R3 and i cannot boot it from microsd card to flash it to emmc, i download openwrt-23.05.4-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-sdcard.img from openwrt site (ether snapshot or 23.05 release wont boot) burn it to microsd card using bpi-copy tools also tried to burn it using dd it doesnât matter, jumper all in high (up) position and this is what i get output in console:

PANIC at PC : 0x000000000020533c
but if i insert sd card to pc i can see the fip partition there
and if i burn snapshot it says something about gpt partition error
so i guess im stuck there but i can boot if all jumpers in low position then i get U-boot menu but not much to see there i canât flash or install anything from there
also the wiki Getting Started with BPI-R3 - Banana Pi Wiki mentions something about some kind of additional packages to have to be put in the usb stick in order to flash to emmc packages like mtk-bpi-r3-SD-WAN1-SFP1-20220619-single-image.img, mtk-bpi-r3-NAND-WAN1-SFP1-20220619-single-image.bin, bl2_emmc.img, mtk-bpi-r3-EMMC-WAN1-SFP1-20220619-single-image.img so what it all about i donât really get it
