Can you please try to build and program image to emmc by following instruction?

Instruction

  1. 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 :

  2. Run make menuconfig in root directory of bpi-r2_lede

  3. Enable squashfs: Target Images ->squashfs

  4. Rebuild lede by executing command: make

  5. 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/

  6. Copy above images to /tftpboot/(please enable tftp service first)

  7. Boot the board to Uboot prompt, configure the IP address/netmask/gatewayip/serverip, make sure the R2 board is able to access tftp server.

  8. 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

  9. Run below command to program root.squashfs to EMMC:

    tftp 84000000 root.squashfs

    mmc dev 0

    mmc write 84000000 20A00 6000

10.Run command: boot

Please note that the first reboot will take a few minutes to sync file system.

With this image it Will possible to use R2 as a normal router?, i got problems with nat on Ubuntu.

15

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).

16

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.

17

Replace the current uImage with v4.14 kernel so that you can run HNAT on Ubuntu. I’ve done it before…

18

@Ryder.Lee Is sd-card-problem solved?

19

How a can configure my IP Address? I tried it with ifconfig br-lan add … and route add default gw … I can ping my PC successfully but I got no internet

Hi RW2003

The DNS should be configured and the /etc/config/firewall will be changed, please refer to http://forum.banana-pi.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/84d6c0336af978c299fb73556fd67d896e719d52.png

I think this problem is not like that. I have intenet now. And did not change any things in “/etc/config/firewall”. Actually I just change the ifname for “wan” and “wan6” in the "/etc/config/network" to “wan” but not “eth1”. And it works.

22

Could you send pull request back to github. Lets us make support lede better.

23

There is no wifi available yet, right?

24

Wifi-ap-driver is currently in testing state for debian-kernel (4.4.70)

25

Install commands not work… ‘cannot Install package’

26

Do you mean that both luci-theme-bootstrap and luci-mod-admin-full can’t be installed, right?

27

Yup, some packages can be installed eg. curl but some cannot eg. htop

28
