mt7988/i2p5ge-phy-pmb.bin is a firmware for the 2.5G upgrade of BPI-R4 (replacing one of the SFP with 2.5G ETH).
This version of the armbian kernel is based on the mainline (patches are entirely from OpenWRT), so there are some imperfections. If support for bsp is needed, it will be tested and added in future work.
Additionally, this firmware is supported by community enthusiasts like me and is .csc support. It is not OFFICAL support, nor is .conf support. The work of this SBC requires everyone to work together.
