yeah this is just after reboot i will leave it on and post when it happens
when it does, try to ping 8.8.8.8 from the router, assuming your client(s) still can access the device.
ok last night when i slept it the device seems to have restarted and lost all settings
and it boots in initram recovery so i flashed rc2 now and will see what happens
I've set up my R3 today. Impressive performance. After a few hours the R3 restarted and seem to have lost all settings. It keeps restarting and is not coming online again.
I installed to NAND.
I'll check tomorrow if I can get it back to work and will try NOR and disabled WiFi then.
Update: I'm currently doing a new try. I suspect a broken USB connection the cause of my problems.
Cooling Fan
I have downloaded the Sdcard image 23.05.0rc2 and flashed on NOR rpi-r3 with POWER LOGIC pld5010s112L cooling fan 4pin to 2pin, cooling fan it works fine while doing all other task and booting too but once booted the cooling fan stops working. How do i fix it.
There is as fan control kernel module, have you installed it?
I think its GPIO (you can also test the PWM controler), test it please and tell us the results:
opkg install kmod-hwmon-gpio
anyone tried to self-compile a custom sd-card image? I read somewhere it's impossible to use once compiled. thanks
Yes, im using a custom build.
Ok thanks. Could you please share the build base? Like rc2?
I use bananapi as Access Point. My main router is a N5105 x86.
My bananapi openwrt is a custom build with Selinux, and other mods. Openssl Wpad-openssl, Unbound and others...
Im using Snapshot version, I've not build The rc2 yet. Im waiting The final release.
I see, thanks. BTW I tried yesterday to compile from scratch (not the build online) but it failed (RC2). I will do more test during the next weeks, ciao
Post the log, and the configuration.
Are you selecting ext4? It doesnt support ext4
[BananaPi BPI-R3] - There is a way to use ext4? - For Developers - OpenWrt Forum
Hi !
Just received my BPI-R3 today, and installed 23.05.0 RC3 on eMMC.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to recognise my SFP ONT GPON MA5671A... (Which was hacked in order to work @2.5Gbps (HSGMII) )
The MA5671A works on my Mikrotik RB4011 @1Gbps, and it connects to internet. But not in the BPI...i'm still investigating.
EDIT :
just found here that some people doesn't have trouble with this GPON Stick
Hi!
I just tried to rebuild my own configuration for BPI-R3 on 23.05_rc3 and I'm getting error :
make[3] -C target/linux install
WARNING: Image file (...)/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-sdcard.img.gz is too big: 52232192 > 46137344
ERROR: target/linux failed to build.
I don' have any idea why I'm getting this message. NAND flash on this board is 128MB and there's also 8GB of eMMC, and reported size is ~50MB.
I've also re-run make target/install with -j1 -V=s and it crash at sdcard.img.gz generation:

Could someone shed some light why this warning occur and why I'm getting error at the end of the build?
You need to switch off initramfs, because initramfs image is limited to ~44 MiB. Not generating that means the resulting SD card image won't have a recovery OS to boot if things go wrong, but gives you the full size of the configured rootfs.

Thanks! This limitation for initramfs size is something related to OpenWrt? If I would like to have initramfs enabled I just need to disable some of pacakges to decrease size of rootfs (and through this also the initramfs) to 44MiB?
The limit is arbitrary and could of course be adjusted. But as initramfs is mostly for recovery purposes, 44 MiB is already very huge.

One more thing is still unclear to me. I checked the size of files generated and I can see initramfs file, but it's size is lower than 44MiB:
-rw-r--r-- 1 petroz petroz 39649280 Aug 24 23:33 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-initramfs-recovery.itb
But the message reported was :
WARNING: Image file (...)/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-sdcard.img.gz is too big: 52232192 > 46137344
I would really appreciate If you could clarify it, so I could wrap my head around this. Thanks!
Sorry, my bad, it's 32 MiB for the recovery partition and hence size limit for initramfs image.
