The source code is at: https://github.com/garywangcn/bpi-r2_lede
Please clone the code to local and checkout the code from branch bpi-r2-on-lede-v1 .
Build
Follow the LEDE building instruction to compile the lede system, the target system is MediaTek Ralink ARM, the config file is attached.

Please download the image I built from below link

Boot with LEDE image
Step 1: Please program LEDE 2017-09-08 image to emmc by following BPI-R2 New image : Openwrt/LEDE 2017-09-08
Step 2: Boot the board from EMMC, and enter U-boot shell.
Step 3: Load build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/linux-mediatek_32/uImage-mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2-initramfs from host pc(tftp 84000000 uImage-mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2-initramfs). Before loading image, you may need to set/ipaddr/netmask/serverip in uboot
Step 4: Program the image to EMMC by run command:
mmc dev 0
mmc write 84000000 1000 5800

Before testing IP forwarding, please change the firewall setting in /etc/config/firewall, and then restart firewall(/etc/init.d/firewall restart). Below is for you reference

bootm flag=0, states=70f

I can boot the system. But I can`t get any freespace like the image form BPI-R2 New image : Openwrt/LEDE 2017-09-08
How can I do?
command:
mkimage -A arm -T multi -C none -a 80008000 -e 80008000 -n ‘Multi-File Test Image’ -d lede-mediatek-32-uImage-mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2-initramfs:lede-mediatek-32-root.squashfs uMulti
And it return:
Image Name: Multi-File Test Image

Can you please try to build and program image to emmc by following instruction?
Instruction
Please clone the latest code from github(https://github.com/garywangcn/bpi-r2_lede/tree/bpi-r2-on-lede-v1 ) and then follow below steps to build/program both rootfs and uImage :
Run make menuconfig in root directory of bpi-r2_lede
Enable squashfs: Target Images ->squashfs
Rebuild lede by executing command: make
The root.squashfs and uImage-mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2 will be programmed to EMMC via tftp, they are located at build_dir/target…/linux-mediatek_32/
Copy above images to /tftpboot/(please enable tftp service first)
Boot the board to Uboot prompt, configure the IP address/netmask/gatewayip/serverip, make sure the R2 board is able to access tftp server.
Run below command to program uImage-mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2:
tftp 84000000 uImage-mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2
mmc dev 0
mmc write 84000000 1000 6000
Run below command to program root.squashfs to EMMC:
tftp 84000000 root.squashfs
mmc dev 0
mmc write 84000000 20A00 6000

Yes, it’s possible to make R2 to be a router.
On Ubuntu, the HNAT will NOT be supported, the HNAT is supported based on DSA structure, but there is no DSA within kernel 4.4(ubuntu is using), so it’s a huge task to port HNAT from lede(4.9 kernel) to Ubuntu(4.4 kerenl).

Can 4.9 from lede be used for ubuntu? Where are problems? If the problem with sd-card in 4.14 can be solved it can also be used.
Replace the current uImage with v4.14 kernel so that you can run HNAT on Ubuntu. I’ve done it before…
