Good morning, I'm doing a review of the 8GB RAM version of OpenWRT, the official firmware version, OpenWRT 21.02-SNAPSHOT unknown / LuCI openwrt-21.02 branch git-23.093.57360-e98243e Kernel Version 5.4.271

Good morning, I’m doing a review of the 8GB RAM version of OpenWRT, the official firmware version, OpenWRT 21.02-SNAPSHOT unknown / LuCI openwrt-21.02 branch git-23.093.57360-e98243e Kernel Version 5.4.271

Then the speeds from NAND version 21.02 to EMMC 24.10 kernel 6.6.86, the speed difference is 1.5GB in favor of 24.10.

speedtest 21.02

speedtest 24.10-emmc

The version I have in sd perfectly recognizes the 8GB of RAM

The version I have in NAND perfectly recognizes the 8GB of RAM.

The version I have in EMMC perfectly recognizes the 8GB of RAM.

In the SD version, it’s great that we have 1GB free to install, but if the opkg doesn’t work, why do we need it?

To be able to install from the OpenWRT repository up to version 23.05 and later, no packages for filogic appear.

There’s also no WireGuard, and there’s no way to install it like the rest of the packages.

Would it be possible to release version 24.10 for 8GB of RAM that would work with installing the official Banana Pi R4 packages,

and not have to go all the way to OpenWRT.

Version 21.02 has some very interesting things in Wi-Fi Configuration - mld-configuration - EasyMesh Configurations.

Thanks for clarifying my doubts.

21.x is not supported by years. Just use the mainline openwrt and if there are features missing ask in openwrt forum. Old version is only for reference…maybe some code can be ported to mainline openwrt.

Good evening @Frank W, thanks for your explanation, but I thought that since this is a new Banana Pi R4 product, we’d be surprised by its own version, 24.10 or later, and not by an old, non-productive version.

Product is new,but official software was based on mtk sdk which was based on this old openwrt. New sdk is now based on current openwrt.
