last question I guess, is heatsink for the banana. what would be a good choice ( without fan and with fan )
Loaded banana with two 2.5gbe gbics, one 2tb nvme drive and one EC25-e 4g module. Also the first attempt at a case for the thing. It still needs a lot of tweaking until it fits ok.
It helped alot. it’s what I am using on my attempt to make a case. Thanks! If it ends up acceptable I will release it for everyone.
Having said that, I think this thing needs a metal case that can act as a heatsink for the nvme and cpu.
nice, it this already printed?
if you do not make a metal case, you have walls ~3mm thick which may prevent sfp and rj45 to be pluggin in. in my old case i made a smaller thickness there for ~2mm around these jacks
note that the holes for sd/sim and the bootswitches must be larger than the slot itself to get on it with fingers
yes, I printed it yesterday. right now I’m printing just the front part to make adjustments.
But if I make something usable it will be only temporary. This thing really needs a metal case.
currently looks like this:
It’s basically a remix of a case I found on thingyverse.

Hi everyone.
I’m a bit outdated on R3 news. Is the board already released an available on the market?
yes, I bought mine from an amazon seller in Europe

I suggest to wait for next hw-revision when reset-bug is fixed.

it’s not fixed in 1.3?
what is that reset bug about?
Can you please share the STL file?
Afaik there is only v1.1
Reset-bug: [BPI-R3] information
Should be fixed in upcoming 1.2
@azsenca it is not yet a complete case
Is there a heatsink matchin the 43mm holes on the board? Or are these holes for anything else?
Hi,
R3 seems really nice but I need two radio on 5Ghz, can someone confirm me that I can use this module : https://www.asiarf.com/shop/wifi-wlan/wifi-m-2-card/wifi6-2t2r-dual-bands-dual-concurrents-dbdc-m-2-card-bm-key-1800-ieee802-11ax-2-4g-5ghz-mt7915-aw7915-bmd/ on the M2 slot or not ?
Thanks
I’m curious what is expected performance of BPI-R3 vs my current Turris Omnia.
This is not super scientific method, but does give a rough estimate of what to expect. Could some one run Geekbench 5 for ARM64 and share results? For ex. Turris Omnia gets ~100 SC, ~180 MC (on arm32).
wget https://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-5.4.4-LinuxARMPreview.tar.gz
tar zxf Geekbench-5.4.4-LinuxARMPreview.tar.gz
cd Geekbench-5.4.4-LinuxARMPreview/
./geekbench_aarch64
Unfortunately the geekbench binaries are dynamically linked against uClibc.
If I find more time for that I’ll try running it inside a uClibc container (as Debian uses glibc, OpenWrt uses musl the binary doesn’t run out-of-the-box on neither of them).
How did you actually run this on the Turris Omnia?
I originally run this via lxc container.
However, this should also work (at least it is working right now on my Turris Omnia [just arm64 replaced with armhf, and aarch64 with armv7]):

Geekbench has some detection issues (frequency and core-count) so maybe results are not right:
System Information
Operating System Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Kernel Linux 6.1.0-rc1-bpi-r3-r3 aarch64

SoC had only ~43°C maximum without heatsink
Thank you @frank-w.
The detection on ARM is not perfect, but I think results should still be valid.
The comparison to:
- Turris Omnia: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/17822929?baseline=18391168
- RPI4B: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/18239980?baseline=18391168
I’m actually surprised as those results are pretty good. Slower than RPI4, but still pretty good.
