Development on BPI-W2 motherboard finished?
Nothing new has been released for several months, no new payments, it is still in a semi-functional state as it was introduced.
As a ZIDOO user and developer, I noticed that Banan is using SW from Zidoo (code source has libraries from ZIDOO products with RTD1296DD), so I just copy what Zidoo publish or is there anyone who develops for BPI-W2? Thank you.
we still work on it .
this also base on BPI-W2
I was looking for more suport for this board , the kernel not support ppp filtering also i cannot using wvdial on it , any one can help me to using this board as 4G VPN Router ?
Actually, I have reviewed the documentation available, and it looks like we can get Ubuntu 25.04 up and running on it quite easily (that is relative, I know). It looks like an exercise I had to do with BananaPi R2 before. I mean the fact that we’ll have to rebuild our own custom kernel, including required features in it. It certainly cost some time and effort, but it is well doable.
I am talking about this without having the router in my hands yet - I just placed the order, so I’ll be receiving it in next week (along with all required gadgets for it).
I plan to use it as a wireless broadband router, with optional graphical and textual remote access gateway (akin to KVM, check project Quacamole).
I know I am necroing dead thread, but if someone else get here, I hope to be able to povide results of my work.
As for why I ‘waste’ time on outdated board - because it has what I need - dual sata, dual PCI-E slots, another M2 for 5g modem, GPIO along with i2c, onboard RTC (along with battery connector!), and its chips are well placed which will makes designing cooling system for it easy.
