Not a release yet, just development/nightly snapshots. Release branch will be created in a few months, stable release including support for the R4 towards the end of the year probably.
Okay, I delated the “official”. Sometimes I’m a bit fast … thought snapshot should be clear … .

“official” is the true part. “release” is what you should remove.
Yea, that what i meant! I used the latest snapshot yet and for my simple purpose seemed working quite well, i did all my simple stuffs without bugs and seems quite stable, but isn’t the official stable release. Anyway waiting the wifi7 card i used an old Atheros AR5BXB63 and i setup the bpi as AP with vlans for different SSID. Btw thanks for your answers and precisations. Bye

much to learn I have …
An anecdote for those trying to passively cool the R4: I bought a passive heatsink from Alpha - Heat Sink | Your thermal solution partner (specifically a LPDM50-40BP-1P3N) and it seems to work quite well, and maybe even quite a bit of overkill. I wasn’t sure what mounting pressure to select so I went with the lightest one. I’m testing with stress -c 4 (if there is a better way to test a maximum thermal load I’m all ears!) and it caps out at ~48C, mounted vertically not in a case. At a more typical load (no substantial traffic, just running a few servers, it stabilizes around ~42C.
I did some measurements and looked at the board design file and while the holes are slightly closer on the board than on this heatsink, it works with some minor effort.
Because of a tall surface mount component, I did have to file down the heatsink a few millimeters in one corner:
I probably could have gone with a much shorter one and it would have stayed pretty cool, but I wasn’t sure so just went overboard; I’ll be designing my own case so can design around a large heatsink. Final look:

I used the firmware downloaded from OpenWrt Firmware Selector and found that I could not connect to the pptp client via the pptp server. I can’t find net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_helper in my system, can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi everyone, I tried to compile the Open WRT image by cloning the official vendor repository: GitHub - BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-R4-OPENWRT-V21.02
I performed this procedure:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make grep unzip gawk subversion libz-dev libc-dev rsync
git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-R4-OPENWRT-V21.02
cd BPI-R4-OPENWRT-V21.02/
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
make -j$(nproc) V=s
Compilation fails with an error related to the cryptsetup library.
I noticed that some partially compiled modules remain in the build folder: json-c-0.15, libubox-2021-05-16-b14c4688 and opkg-2021-06-13-1bf042dd

Can anyone tell me where I’m wrong?
may i ask why you clone the vendor version and not the snapshot of openwrt? because the snapshot version works like a charm. i also had a lot of trouble with the vendor version (required old version of packages). you must NOT run ./scripts/feeds when building the sinovoip version! When you go with the official openwrt snapshot, you can and should update the packages with ./scripts/feeds
Hi, I’m still thinking that something is wrong with the PCIe slot: gist:de8a0726f22b97de72558a59029225ff · GitHub after trying to connect the Intel BE200 wireless card. I tried different adapters + different slots,I checked the card on old laptop which is taking good performance results (also I got another card base on mt7921e which is working normally on BPI-R4 in both slots). I also asked a commit author firmware: add Intel BE200 firmware by januszdziedzic · Pull Request #14531 · openwrt/openwrt · GitHub if the card is working normally on his device and he confirm, that everything is fine on his bpi-r64 device.
The boot log is completely innocent. The two mPCIe slots both report a link, the two M.2 slots both report that the link is down. It can be an electrical problem (we’ve had this before and maybe we again miss a filter capacitor somewhere) or a problem with PCIe power management, for example. If we know what the problem is we might be able to solve it in software, but there are chances that it’s a hardware incompatibility.
Just for clarification because I see people again and again assuming that error -517 is an error, it is not:
So those lines in the bootlog saying
[ 0.051838] /soc/pcie@11290000: Failed to get clk index: 0 ret: -517
basically just means that the clk driver has not yet been loaded and the kernel should try again to bring up the PCIe driver at a later point. Really not an error, but something completely normal.

Thanks for the very detailed answer
The BE200 cards are well known to only work in recent Intel systems. It is not known if this is something Intel did intentionally, or if support can be added to other platforms.
Yes, there was many threads on reddit about it. I still consider that it will not work on BPI-R4, but according to the OpenWRT forum, it is working for some users on BPI-R64 and Nvidia Jetson. Maybe they have different cards, maybe they have different adapters… Now I ordered two more adapters, just to remove suspicion.
Does anyone know how I can enable the fan ?
Several people have told me to do this:
echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export echo 10000 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period echo 5000 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle echo normal > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/polarity echo 1 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/enable
but /sys/class/pwm/ is empty.
I use OpenWrt’s official snapshot - checked out and compiled from GitHub yesterday, so I might just miss a module or something?
That is interesting. I did not read this in any banana pi chat.
The last information I had was:
->SUPPORT IS NOT ESTABLISHED YET.
Ok, one person from Sinovoip said it should work with both their image (it does) and the official OpenWRT snapshot, and one person from DIYzone on AliExpress (which sells the cabinet with fan) said that it should work.
I have removed the sense cable until I, or someone else figures it out.
That already explains why it doesn’t work. The 3rd pin on the fan connector on the BPI-R4 board is not a sensor input, but rather a PWM signal output. The other two pins are constant DC output. So you need a fan with mosfet to have than PWM signal drive the fan, typically fans with 4-pin connector have DC input, PWM input and sensor output. Use one of those and connect the sensor output to any of the GPIO inputs of the GPIO header, if you want to measure fan speed.
Pwm on fan socket works for you (in your wip tree)?
It works great with BPI-R4-mtk-bpi-r4-SD-20231030, but not if I compile it myself using the OpenWrt git, so it is either not supported there, or I’m missing a module, or something.
