Ford_Prefect Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Hi All, since i had many problem with my old OPI R1 (without PLUS) I just ordered the newer Model with 1 Gig Ram, RK3328 CPU and two Gigabit Ports. There Is a debian Image available on their Google Drive Share right now, I'll certainly try that out, but Is there a generic Armbian Image as well, I can take? Should be pretty straigt forward Device, I tink.... HDMI Out is not available, only USB Gigabit Ethernet and Rockchip Gigabit Ethernet. Would be great if Hardware encryption for IPSec is also availaibe. Any thoughts? Cheers Ford Prefect 0 Quote

thanh_tan Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I have tried to test this board. The OpenWRT version on xunlong site (http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/) doesn't work The Debian/Ubuntu version is booted, but i don't know why it always crash and reboot. I am planning to install PiHole on this device to bring it to a hub that can block ads on internet natively, like this flow Internet <=> Modem <=> R1 Plus (PI Hole) <=> Wireless Router any thought? 0 Quote

Did you attache a Heatsink to the CPU? I doubt the rk3328 is able to cope with its temperature without.... I just bootet debian up and the cpu was nearly instantaniously at 75°C.... With a passive heatsink it is still 62° Idling.... seems to much for my feeling More testing to come - also armbian. Cheers FP 0 Quote
ChrisO Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I received almost the same time a RockPi-E and an OrangePi-1+ First I started to play witch RockPi-E and then, as I realised OpiR1+ is not supported, I tried the RockPi-E Raspbian image and it works OK. At least for what I use it for, as router and WiFI access point, iptables and such. Only strange thing is I "have" three Ethernet interfaces :-) ifconfig shows eth[012]. OpiR1+ does indeed get hot even if doing almost nothing, going to buy tomorrow a heatsink. RockPi-E Regards, Chris 0 Quote

ChrisO Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 This is the official Armbian image Armbian_20.11.10_Rockpi-e_buster_current_5.9.14.img from https://redirect.armbian.com/rockpi-e/Buster_current armbianmonitor -u output is here http://ix.io/2PDj So far it works OK. I didn't do any special tests. Just set-up a WiFI accesspoint with hostapd (on bridge eth2/wlan0) and udhcpd. iptables for masquerading and just now accessing internet from my phone using this AP. ifconfig shows three Ethernet interfaces. the two real ones are eth0 and eth2. Let me know if I could be of any help. Would be a pleasure for me to give a bit back to Armbian :-) Both, RockPi-E and OpiR1+ generate a Kernel panic at the end of "init 0" harmless AFAICS. Output is attached. Regards, Chris rockpi-e.oops r1plus.oops 1 Quote

I think you are wrong with that - this little thinge is blazing fast in encryption/decryption - at least for a SBC. I just configured the latest strongswan, setup xfrm interfaces and a straight forward configuration wit AES_GCM_16/MODP2048 and I am totally astonished... Not really CPU Load and about 420 MBit/s decrypting and 270 MBit Encrypting (via Gigabit-LAN to a Ryzen3 Machine) I had to setup up this extra scenario, because the little device maxed out my 300 MBit+ WAN Link :-) t For that, I build iproute2 and strongswan+swanctl myself on top of the OPI Debian Image, which works really stable, I have to say! Much better than the OPI R1 without Plus (which, BTW, was maxed out at around 40 MBit/s IPsec Traffic) Cheers Ford Prefect 0 Quote

Ford_Prefect Posted March 4, 2021 Author Posted March 4, 2021 Quote Comparing apples and oranges. Those are totally different SoCs. Also generation wise. Not really apples and whatever... It's the 'same' type of SBC, and costs are similar. This is the fastest encrypt/decrypt sbc besides the atom based 'Atomic Pi' - which has AES-NI enabled. Cheers, Ford 0 Quote

No, its the other way round... I was looking for a SBC with 2 NICs (preferebly Gigabit, off Course) which is capable of running debian to connect me with strongswan (+ xfrm interfaces for the sake of it) with a reasonable encrypting speed and easy t otravel with - so the size of the Atomic Pi was too big, and it lacks a second ethernet port. Let's take a look on the market.... there is not much, is there? So the Orangepi R1 Plus is the optimal choice for me.... it seems:-) Quote This means you didn't check this? https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench/blob/master/Results.md No, I didn't know about that. But "pure" AES Benchmarks doesn't help too much compared with 'real' IPsec throughput. Off course, you get a 'hint' which is faster but no absolute benchmarking regarding to network traffic is possible, because you don't know how the NICs behave together with the rest of the system.

HilmiEsen Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Hi All, I ran Armbian at orangepi r1 plus. Details: Firstly, OrangePi R1 Plus is booted with Armbian_21.02.3_Nanopi-r2s_buster_current_5.10.21. But I got the error: Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. done. Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT!

(initramfs) All Boot Output: https://pastebin.pl/view/c23b4566 After that, Orange Pi R1 Plus is successfully booted with Orangepir1plus_2.1.0_debian_buster_server_linux5.8.18. I inserted another sd card (it has Armbian_21.02.3_Nanopi-r2s_buster_current_5.10.21 image) to the R1 Plus and mounted. I copied /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3328-orangepi-r1plus.dtb and paste into the sd card. I changed /boot/armbianEnv.txt as follows: # more /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false overlay_prefix=rockchip fdtfile=rockchip/rk3328-orangepi-r1plus.dtb rootdev=UUID=1430eaac-3ff0-465a-a7b0-66b51608ccd1 rootfstype=ext4 console=serial usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u Orange Pi R1 Plus is booted. But it has some issues. The device did not detect 2nd ethernet and first ethernet is not working properly.
