Yes,but the version from pr is not working and i got it working so far and added pcie overlays,8gb (waiting for my own pr) and also the mxl switch which can use the current driver from daniel not yet upstream.
Not talking about parts daniel wants to wait for upstream like the ethmux and aeonsemi phy.
are we going to have the same issue as the non pro. where we need to patch for 8gb ram? or once its mainstream it will automatically detect?
Bl2 is same…either flash 4gb image and update bl2 or flash 8gb image if it exist
I’ll try to revisit it this week. I had two other devices land on my desk begging for support, and all the necessary drivers already exist for them, so they got priority.
had sometime and based on Frank’s Opennwrt branch R4Pro got the aeonsemi mxl to work … the docs are wrong…looking now at the sfp’s / 10g (wan/sfp) but no luck yet
You need aeonsemi downstream driver + dts +firmware to be recognized and to work the ethmux patches for mtk eth driver and mxl driver + dts change
Edit sorry i thought you did not got it working…seems you added driver for the phy from latest mtk feed with this strange bbu api (and debug) code. The wan is basicly same only needs patch for mtk driver and dts for the mux. That part was a bit strange and i had modified in my repo due to phylink hangs/traces…maybe look in my kernel repo how i added mux there
Btw. My latest state with different mxl driver is this
But misses fit definition for nand. And needs to be rebased on latest mxl patches and andrews PR (but still modifies existing patches for adding dts to makefile).
Hey guys what screw do I need to use this ssd? How can I move the standoff without damaging the board? Maybe its better to get just another standoff then I can use the M.2 screw? Do we have dimensions of the possible standoff screw? Or better to buy a 2230 to 2280 adapter?
this one the screws heads are to slim. I found something similar on amazon.de but the hole is big and the head should not be too tall. I don’t see any groves in the motherboard. 633 Stück Laptop Schrauben, M.2 NVMe SSD Montage Schrauben Set, M2 M2.5 M3 Notebook Computer Schraubenset mit Schraubendreher für Asus Gigabyte MSI-Motherboards, Kompatibel mit IBM/HP/Dell/Samsung : Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehör
It seems like the simplest and fastest solution. You could also 3D print it—maybe one of your friends has a 3D printer.
How to get updated MaxLinear MxL86252C switch firmware, version 1.0.78 or newer? Mentioned in mediatek: add support for BananaPi BPi-R4 Pro 8X by andrewjlamarche · Pull Request #21083 · openwrt/openwrt · GitHub
@sinovoip or @sinovoip1 should reach out to maxlinear to get it or maxlinear publishes it.
hope this happens soon or later…
Hello everyone! Please help. I’ve been trying to build a firmware for the P4-Pro all night, but it’s not working. The firmware uploads, but the preloader is pointing to the wrong location. Does anyone have a ready-made firmware in the standard OpenVRT repositories? I just need certain packages that aren’t in the built-in firmware repositories.
Hi, are you talkong about BPI-R4 Pro? Why do you think preloader (TF-A or bootrom) is pointing to the wrong position? Do you see any output on debug uart?
I see that “bootconf_emmc=mt7988a-bananapi-bpi-r4-pro-8x-emmc” in uboot console, but if there is this var, i have error “Waiting for root device /dev/fit0”. If i use “setenv bootconf_emmc mt7988a-bananapi-bpi-r4-pro-emmc run boot_production” in uboot console, system is starting. This problem only occurs when I build the image myself. Plus, after loading, half the interfaces stop working, and the router behaves erratically. Sorry about my English))
My main goal is to install “sing-box” and Momo
Yes it is an issue i fixed in my tree already but not yet added to andrews PR
-boot_recovery=led $bootled_rec on ; run sdmmc_read_recovery && bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf#$bootconf_emmc ; led $bootled_rec off
+boot_recovery=led $bootled_rec on ; run sdmmc_read_recovery && bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf#$bootconf_sd ; led $bootled_rec off
what target i need to choose? BPI-R4-Pro-8X?
maybe you can give me .config file? 
Yes, it is same as with andrews pr
Hi @frank-w,
To me, it looks this commit is not part of a branch. Is this correct? Is there a branch I could try to get OpenWRT running on such a board that is as close to mainline / vanilla OpenWRT as possible, but working?
Many thanks, yanosz
