The R1 is crap in so many areas that it's just a waste of time to list all the issues. So let's try to be positive and look only at what's different now:

 

Maybe your mom didn't teach you how to respect others.

 

You're just an asshole in the open source community, and you want to take advantage of what you have, and want to get something ??? and you realize that you can't say anything publicly.

 

tkaiser: Now price is available and also USB-to-Ethernet chip (RTL8152B) and amount of DRAM (256MB): https://aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-R1-H2-256MB-Quad-Core-Cortex-A7-Open-source-development-board-beyond-Raspberry-Pi/1553371_32827494728.html

 

Still no schematics available but given Xunlong's conservative approach I don't think we need them anyway.

 

haha ,  funny people , Obvious double standards, They must have paid you hush money. I can pay, but it has to be moral.

 

I have great respect for the armbian community, but  you are ashamed of one member of their community

Edit: 'Lion_Wang, the figure you posted' has been removed by him now. Guess why. The same game they play since years now happening even in Armbian forum, really unbelievable.

i am not do development now . more than 7 years , so , i make a mistake .  i will let gary join this discuss . 

 

anymore , i not  badger with you, you can do everything if you like .  i also do banana pi ,  this is my love.  even it make you not happy , I have chosen to ignore you for more than a year.  you want me still ???

Lion_Wang, the figure you posted shows WiFi + BT as OK, but you say it isn't complete.  I see it's listed as AP6212 here, but on the R2 manual it says:  " banana pi BPI-R2 have support MTK6625L wifi&BT 4.1 chip onboard. "  <---  That is the sort of thing that causes trouble and upsets people.

it is some issue for wifi&BT driver on kernel 4.4 , we must  let all code can compile at first. then we can try to fixed driver issue.  we want begin at kernel 4.4 .x， it easy to get mainline support .   

[Banana Pi R2]

we now main working on Linux 4.4, this is our development in progress , now about issue for kernel 4.4 

 

have support :

 

1. support HDMI
2. support GMAC * 5 (2 real GE ports, 1 is WAN port, another is connected to 4 LAN ports)
3. support SATA * 2
4. support eMMC (support boot from eMMC)
5. support IR
6. support OTG
7. support PWM (PWM1/PWM2/PWM3, PWM4 and PWM5 are not supported)
8. support USB 3.0 * 2
9. support mPCIe

 

issue: 

 

1：wifi  driver for MTK6625L

2：VPU&GPU 

3：MIPI driver

 

update : launcher have running success on linux 4.4 kernel ,maybe wifi will ready soon ,it is a hard work

 

 

i will let gary add this group ,and he will maybe answer more .

Do what you want.

 

 

Care to remember when I started this thread here? On June 23th. Back at that time there existed ZERO publicly available INFORMATION wrt Banana Pi R2. I wasted my time to poke the vendor over and over again to provide information, to release schematics (which they didn't since they don't understand why it's important to provide schematics if you're not able to provide technical documentation or any correct information) and to release sources. Care to remember for what this vendor is famous and why this was important?

 

I was interested in this MT7623 device from the very beginning at the moment I realized Mediatek started to open themselves (that's the reason I asked maybe 30 times over in the Banana forum to show us the existence of sources since MTK was known to only provide sources for insane amounts of money JUST UNTIL RECENTLY. Of course everybody has forgotten this now). Care to remember that everything that was available 7 weeks ago was 'wait and see', 'we finish all driver now and github then', 'why you so crazy, give us time'.

 

7 weeks ago I got the guy responsible for the mess in Banana forum posting as 'bpi sinovoip team' to provide a boot log, started to analyze the information therein which led to my account over there being banned and many of my posts including this analysis deleted, and decided to provide the information gathered here since SinoVoip is obviously still not able to provide technical documentation worth the name or any real information at all (since you never know if it's just copy&paste gone wrong or something real).

 

Well, today we know that MTK is providing a BSP without the need to sign an NDA or having to pay for sources, today we know they're actively upstreaming patches to get this SoC and board supported by mainline Linux, today we know that their coders/engineers try to fill SinoVoip's gap over at their forum answering technical questions. Care to remember how the situation looked like 7 weeks ago?

 

Do what you want! I really don't want to waste any more time with this Banana mess (since I wasted already so much time trying to support them and their hardware even if they send out broken dev samples, install a Dunning-Kruger guy between them and the outside, don't inform us about important changes and so on). And you're absolutely right: they prove that they're not able to improve in any important area. They simply don't get the idea why false advertising is wrong, why providing false information is wrong, why babbling about open source is wrong when you're keeping everything closed at the same time, why it's wrong to be disrespectful to open source community (care to remember how they deal with this pull request and so many others?) and so on.

 

 

please note below:

1, you look at all your statements, whether it's for any banana a product, how terrible it is, and why we should pay attention to someone who makes me feel sick. 

2. Look at all the statements you made on armbian BBS, and everyone thinks you are the face of armbian.I even think of you are one of orange PI member .You're out of your normal moral compass.You may never learn to respect others. 

3,note ,you are not a god for arm community.

 

PS:  i want to know , why you always attack us , what can you get or what are you want to get .

 

[Banana Pi R2]

1. I respect all the work done by armbian, and they do a lot of work, especially igor. I respect anyone who does anything for the open source community, and all work should be respected.I also want to work closely with armbian at Open source development, but the way must be correct.

2. All of TK's comments, I don't know where I have offended him, and you can see that his comments are full of malice and disgust, so most of them, I can only choose to ignore them.A product, especially an open source product, can't be perfected all at once, and if you try to find a reason to attack, there will be countless ways to attack, but it won't improve anything.We need all of us to do what we can to support ourselves, even if it's a little bit of a word of affirmation.Sometimes, standing and watching, not talking, is also a support.

3. I have been working on LINUX product software and hardware development for 17 years and have learned how to cooperate with the chip original factory.What I do now is try to make the chip plant open source a bit, provide as much information and technology as possible, and slowly promote the development of open source.

4. Regarding R2, I want to really understand the hardware people, understand how much work we have done, and how much effort MTK has made to support this project.That's what's going on.TK can't easily veto everything just because of the subjective judgment of his own knowledge. It's unfair.

5, we must have done many things wrong, which is a process of learning.If this process makes some people uncomfortable, I'm here to say I'm sorry.

6. For TK, he even attacks my English very bad, YES, maybe we can communicate in Chinese, rest assured, here I will not make fun of your poor Chinese.

Banana pi BPI-R2 source code open on github

http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/banana-pi-bpi-r2-source-code-open-on-github/3445

[Orange Pi Zero went to the market]

i also do a module coworker with webduino:

 

http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/introduction-to-bpi-webduino-smart/2379

 

you can use it as a webduino IoT module ,also can use it as a arduino WIFI module with ESP8266

Yes but what about the Total Cost of Ownership ? $5 SDcard, 5$ PSU, $3 cables, $3 enclosure, 3$ heatsink, 3$ antenna, hubs, hours of work to get software working. In a sense, that can explain why they sell much : your interest is to buy many cards to get spares if you spend time on a project and to capitalize on experience with a board !

I think I will invest in nanopi air if I can acquire a bunch of IPX antenna on ebay.

 

Thanks for the PSU link, that is exactly what I am looking for but they are sold for 4 times these price in component shops. And for the PSU, it is important to be sure of quality as I don't want to burn my house ...

About the money, the question is principally to deploy the solution : the IoT are necessarily numerous. The prices and the failures are multiplied by number of nodes ... I can no more imagine battery powered devices where you need to change a battery somewhere every second day !
