Hardware and Performance / Re: OPNsense 20.1 on NanoPI R1S (H5)

« on: December 21, 2021, 10:54:57 pm »

AFAIK The Nano Pi R2S and R2C are almost identical except for one important aspect - the ethernet controller chip is different in the R2C. So using an R2S image you will still get the traffic through the ethernet port that is controlled by the USB (because it's the same chip in both), but the software probably needs adapting to account for the new controller chip in the R2C.

These boxes are still a great investment for the price if you're prepared to wait for the software to catch up, which at the moment seems down to the herculean efforts of a (very) small number of developers. I'm sure it would be appreciated if you were able to subscribe to the project at personalbsd.org.

Hardware and Performance / Re: CPU clockrate and temperature on NanoPi R2S

« on: October 30, 2021, 02:42:27 pm »

Hi, on the x86 version that i have previously been using, the temps and CPU details are usually on the dashboard page in the GUI, are they not in this version ?

I've just been trying to get this version to work myself. The R2S seems to boot up ok (i.e. the sys light comes on, the WAN interface comes up, and the LAN light comes on when connected) but I can't ping it or get a gui. My modem can see it and gives out a DHCP address as 192.168.1.101. Maybe this is the problem ?Would be grateful if you have any tips.

The unit gets warm to the touch when running (I have the version in the black metal case) but not hot so far. When I get it running properly I might be able to get a bit more solid info. I think there's a package for monitoring temps in OPNSense that you can also install as an addition.
