Sadly there is no image for this board, I doubt anyone is working on this device support.

You can ask for help in BPI forum, or ask then to send samples to the team who can help bring up this device support on BSD, freebsd and opnsense.

Regards,

R2S using rtl usb to lan chip which does not have good drive support on freebsd hence it's broken. 
That chip is only used in few devices so developers are not putting effort to fix it..

Best is to use R4S. 

Sergey from Personalbsd.org project is waiting for his device to arrive.

Once he have it then he will start working on Opnsense port for that device.

Please subscribe fro regular donation to his project so he can afford to buy devices to support at opnsense community arm project called personalbsd.

R2S have second ethernet driver support still unstable.

Please do donate to personalbsd.org project.

Thanks.

There seems to be no support yet. 

Opnsense Arm port is available for devices supported by bsd team. 

I am running Opnsense on radxa RockPiE since a year now. 
Also rk3399 have good support.

Please share which image are you using? 
Which device? 

How are you trying to update? 
You will have to manual change the source link to get updated pkgs if your using image made by sleepwalker as he have created a new repo to maintain all bsd builds.

If you have 1gb internet than no arm device can handle it atm unless you use macchiatobin or clearfog as most sbc are low end cpu soc with limited IO like the gigabit Ethernet are not powerful enough to give you full performance. 

Best option for you is to use x86_64 device

To use opnsense on rpi you will need a usb to lan adaptor and not all devices are supported in freebsd .


Also performance will not be good with usb adaptor, hence many no one is working on it.

The June 12 image here doesn't work on first boot. Did anyone got it working including internet connection on the WAN interface?

I know the mac address of LAN needs to be configured first so you have to connect directly to the pc. I haven't tried it though. Is there a working build that has a working connection on first boot?

Do you mean it doesn't boot at all?  Coz r4s have 2 types of ram used so maybe it have different uboot for it. 

Not sure.  Please share more detailed logs

Thanks for providing the R2S image.

I am using R2S hardware revision "1.0 1912" (it was shipped last year with yellow plastic enclosure instead of metal and micro-usb instead of USB-C).

When trying to boot from OPNsense-21.1-OpenSSL-aarch64-NanoPi-R2S-20210612.img the red sys LED stays on for a few seconds, but then LED goes off and the device does not react anymore.

On the same device I can boot into rk3328-sd-friendlywrt-5.10-20210618 and FreeBSD-aarch64-13.0-RELEASE-NanoPi-R2S-20210702.img without any problems.

Any idea how I could make OPNSense work on my R2S? Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to debug via GPIO.

It is very hard to know what is going wrong without the debug logs. 
Will always need debug logs to help.

Can anyone build and share the R4S image from https://github.com/yrzr/opnsense-tools/tree/22.1/r4s?

You can download it from here.  Sergey is the guy maintaining it for aarch64.
His website

Please donate to his work if you like the built.  I am using the built images on my RockPiE and R4S since long time. 
Check both devices working for me on how built images.
Images attached.

NanoPi R2S image is available for testing.

For those who have the device can test the performance using this image and share the feedback.

There is a working image gor freebsd and opnsense for NanoPi R2S as since the rtl drivers were recently merged in freebsd.

Please donate to sergey for all his effort at personalbsd.org
Feel free to join telegram chat for opnsense on arm @personalbsd
Thanks.

Yes updating and installing plugin works fine as sergey is maintaining a repo for aarch64 pkgs which is updated as an when he gets time and there is major updates.

Dont expect all plugins as many are not available for aarch64 architecture yet.
