OPNSense & NanoPi R4S (RK3399)

[cheese_sticks]

Not sure what was going on but I finally got the 4GB running with the link above. It is using the default of 192.168.11.1:80 and dhcpv4 is disabled (that may have been why I couldn't get in). The only light that comes on is the power light.

However, I can't login as it doesn't use the default or any of the standard combos I could think of (root/root, root/password, root/opnsense, admin/admin, etc). Does anyone know what the log in is?

edit: nevermind, turns out there's something else on my network at 192.168.11.1:80, which is very od considering my network uses 10.0.0.0/24...

Hi Huinen, does updating or installing plugins work for you?

I'm afraid that the repositories on kubu.org only contain the 21.1 branch. I tried some changes on the pkg repos but i ended with a broken system.
Lets hope Ganbold, Spikerguy and Sleepwalker make their magic soon...
Meanwhile I'm trying to build myself an image, but I'm a big newbie in Freebsd so don't expect much.

You need to change the repo of kubsu to this

https://pkg.personalbsd.org/${ABI}-opnsense/21.1/latest

Sleepwalker have moved to his own repo. I will mirror it on my server soon so we have 2 mirrors for users.  Please donate to sleepwaker for all his work on

And how do you change a repo?

Ok, I give up. I came here to have something more advanced than OpenWRT, but at the moment this is a bit too much bleeding edge, I think.

On top of all the issues I have setting it up, now the LAN port lost its MAC address somehow:


I'll definitely be back once this ARM is officially supported.

Hi, I just got the 4GB version of the R4S, is there a guide or documentation somewhere about how to build an image for it? Unfortunately I got the version with the case and I’m not sure how to open it to access the uart serial console.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I got the version with the case and I’m not sure how to open it to access the uart serial console.

On the bottom of the case are 4 rubber pads. Remove those and you'll have access to 4 screws to take of the bottom, then there's two screws on the board. When you have all the screws out you'll have to gently slide the board so that it's pressed all the way up against the side of the case that the ethernet ports are on and then it should come out.

Hi All!

I received my R4S and promptly got it up and running with the premade build from here:
https://personalbsd.org/?p=313 named OPNsense-21.1-OpenSSL-aarch64-NANOPI-R4S-20210417.img.xz

As far as I can see everything worked fine ootb: default ip-address on the LAN port is 192.168.1.1 with te default opnsense login. After initial setup everything worked great.

Now the one thing thats not working for me it's the updates. I tried changing the repo as spikerguy mentioned with the following format but I wasn't sure what the variable ABI means so I tried things like R4S-opnsense but that doesn't work.
 
How could I update to the newest version?

I observing these series from few years. Any version with proper (Intel) NICs?
And doesn't cost like latest 1L Lenovo with riser and 4 port gig Intel...

How's it going for those using NanoPi-R4S with OPNsense?

I just ordered this off amazon and will start to play with it soon. If OPNsense isn't stable I may use OpenWRT on it but wanted to ask the community if the updates/packages are truly broken on NanoPi-R4S platform or not

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.

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
