the archives have 2 folders (BPI-BOOT,BPI-ROOT) which content must be copied to the partition with same name. BPI-BOOT contains the kernel-file (uImage), which should be backed up first (before overwriting)
every actual archive have also a md5 in same gdrive-folder to check if it is damaged (unpack-problems).
On top of wiki-page i started an overview. Please report me which features are working (mainly for 4.4,because i’m currently have only 4.14 running)
dear Frank In
in your wiki there is information about the kernel 4.9 with support for hw-nat and port separtion.
How can I build such a kernel? Maybe there is a ready precompiled Kernel ?
Following @frank-w (precompiled) Kernels for BPI-R2, i have create debian/ubuntu kernel image.
All kernel image include hardware crypto devices, eg: cryptodev module.
I also provide opensll with cryto engines to allow hardware crypto with SSL and SSH, eg: openvpn.
The deb package does not overwrite the kernel-file (uImage). It will create a separate one (uImage-).
You can check the package details and list of file with the command dpkg:
$ dpkg -I DEBIAN/bananapi-r2-image_4.9.44_armv7l.deb l

i tried lede-patches for 4.14, but at least 2nd gmac does not work correctly, btw. your link goes to 4.9-patches, discussion about the 4.14-lede-patches here: Adding second gmac to 4.14
4.16-branches in my repo are only a basic kernel, nothing changed for bpi-r2 yet…also internalwifi-driver is missing
4.4 is in separate repo (forked from official repo)
can you add infos how to compile openssl (for openvpn) and how-to create the deb so i can compile it myself?
cryptodev and openssl are dependent each other. From your kernel i always remove “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION” and select “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO”

why this? i added these options to get rid of the commit-id and the dirty-flag
ok, i had not seen that you have added these options to build.sh in 4.9_patched…btw. please use 4.9-branch, because this is upgraded to a newer version…i have merged most of your commits also into it
your way needs compile on bpi-r2, right (at least for the apt-get source -command)…is it possible to do this on a independed host? i don’t want compile-tools on a router for security reasons
There are three proprietary drivers - Video WIFI BT, but the others are supported by the mainline kernel.
HW NAT is a special case as it wouldn’t suit the current framework. Fortunately, there are some patches still under review and has been for a month now:
