If you are running OpenWrt, you can instruct the bootloader to carry out installation upon the next reboot. In this way you won’t need the serial console connected.
I’m sorry to say that U-Boot 2022.07-OpenWrt-r20814-2ad949b11d (Oct 02 2022 - 09:39:13 +0000) works, while the current snapshot with ( ( ( OpenWrt ) ) ) [SD card] U-Boot 2022.07-OpenWrt-r20867-ee38573093 (Oct 05 2022 - 17:16:52 +0000) fail:

This can happen if there are still left-overs of previous things on the SD card. Try wiping all partition/filesystem headers before writing the OpenWrt sdcard image:
But does the MT7975PN as AP mode works in 5 GHz or 6GHz? If it does work with just one band at a time I can live with it for now…
Did you hear about the Pineapple 6 M.2 key B+M radio card It is supposed to works in 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz at the same time, I’m thinking about it now since you told that the MT7975PN won’t work with 5 and 6 GHz at the same time…
I guess i’m not able to test this as this needs a clean environment (no other wifi-ap), a optimized config to use all posssible channels in both bands and a wifi-client which can handle this and the speed too. I only do my work in private free time and have first and last. Maybe @dangowrt can test this
Yes, with 2T2R client (Intel AX220) on HE160 channel bandwidth I can easily reach about 1.3 GBit/s on the 5 GHz interface, even without any antennas connected to the R3 board, just holding the laptop somewhat near the board.
I’m testing the development snapshot from openwrt site and when I do a sysupgrade (sysupgrade -v /tmp/bananapi_bpi-r3-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb) it doesn’t keep my current config.
@dangowrt could you tell which SFP module are you using ? I’m trying ONTi’s (ONT-C1GE-R01) and it just stop working after some time (no errors, tested 2 modules in 2 different R3 boards, same problem…)
Thanks for pointing me to the bug with sysupgrade config restore on MMC (it worked on NAND and NOR, but I forgot to re-test MMC after adding NOR, which actually broke things…).
Now it should work after
I’ve tried several 1000Base-T modules with mixed results and the recommended TP-LINK TL-SM410U which works fine. For xPON module it can be that it takes too much power…?
Wow ! that was fast thanks…
I will do some wire up tomorrow and test the current draw with some of these 1000 and 2500 modules and compare with R3’s regulator spec. If I remember well they’re 8A, it shouldn’t be a problem.
thanks…
