NanoPi R5C - Rockchip RK3568B2 - 2 PCIe 2.5Gbps

Hardware Questions and Recommendations

let's open a new thread on the documentation section and ask for support there - tbh - I don't have a wiki account

Now I installed a Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA222 (AR9462 chip), and that works with multiple encrypted SSIDs in AP mode.

189

Would you mind sharing your network config to help me understand how VLANs are being set up on this device? I just cannot get it running...

Sure. Sent with PM.

I recently received and updated the R5C based on the firmware selector. I did find that opkg was not included with the snapshot, but updated/upgraded and installed luci using apk add

Model
FriendlyARM NanoPi R5C
Platform
rockchip/armv8
Version
SNAPSHOT (r28146-52b6c92479)

Is this different from the 24.10 snapshots?

192

Migration from opkg to apk is currently on its way: Major Change Notice: New Package Manager

As of now, at least for the R5C, 24.10-SNAPSHOT still seems to have opkg whereas snapshot already has apk. That was my finding over the last days but might be subject to change.

Everything is working fine with the snapshot I am running on. I wonder if there is any benefit going to the 24.10 Snapshot or just staying where I am.

194

If you want to switch to the 24.10 release when it comes out, the most logical choice would be to go for the 24.10 snapshot.
If you don't, then the normal snapshot makes more sense.

195

I'm on pre-24 snapshot and wondering how smooth the transition to stable 24 will be. Don't want long downtime on the release :wink:

196

Hi guys. Can anyone be so kind to explain me how to expand the storage? (If there is a way)

Thanks in advance.

Sorry. Figured it out in here

As I can see in owut it will be possible to set rootfs size directly in image.
I don't have owut available to install on snapshot so thinking of migrating to -rc4 and to stable later on.

199

I had no issues with 24.10rc2 on my R5C gateway and 24.10rc4 has been running without issues for 4 days handling CAKE, VLANs, adblock, and https-dns-proxy for my network.

Thanks for confirmation. It will be my first encounter with owut as before I was heavy user of attended-sysupgrade via Luci :wink:

201

I've used the firmware selector to include packages in my downloaded squashfs sysupgrade firmware updates. I do not have experience with owut, but plan to give it a try at some point.

may someone found the same problem

newbie here,

can anyone support me on how to get hdmi output from ananopi r5c using openwrt!

i flashed the openwrt-rockchip-armv8-friendlyarm_nanopi-r5c-ext4-sysupgrade.img image

204

I do not understand what your issue is, since I get HDMI output (Linux text console) out of the box (with FriendlyARM, too) and I use it for status display (writing directly to /dev/tty0).

What does not work for you?

205

I'm having the same issue.

With the factory FriendlyWRT firmware the internet speed was averaging 850mbps with the latest OpenWRT Snapshot its averaging 175mbps.

Is there a solution to resolve this?

Thanks, Glenn

Is this problem specific to wireguard or all network performance ? If it's all network you could try the vendor driver instead of the usual driver.

target/linux/rockchip/image/armv8.mk

define Device/friendlyarm_nanopi-r5c
  51   DEVICE_VENDOR := FriendlyARM
  52   DEVICE_MODEL := NanoPi R5C
  53   SOC := rk3568
  54   DEVICE_PACKAGES := kmod-r8169 kmod-rtw88-8822ce rtl8822ce-firmware wpad-basic-mbedtls
  55 endef
  56 TARGET_DEVICES += friendlyarm_nanopi-r5c

Perhaps try the realtek vendor driver to see if it makes a difference ? Change kmod-r8169 to r8125 or r8125-rss ?
