Has any work been done for the BPI-R2? I saw a note that the 4.11 kernel supports it.
Before I buy one (I want to work with the LAN multiport), I wish to know if I stand a chance getting at least F26 beta working on it.
In /usr/share/uboot, I am only seeing a Bananapi uboot, not one for each of the BPi boards. But in
/boot/dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/b* dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2835-rpi-a.dtb dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2835-rpi-a-plus.dtb dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2835-rpi-b.dtb dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2835-rpi-b-plus.dtb dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2835-rpi-b-rev2.dtb dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2835-rpi-zero.dtb dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2836-rpi-2-b.dtb dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb
?
Also, since it has sata, can it boot off the sata like the Cubieboards (put no partitions and only uboot on mSD).
thanks

It's based on a MediaTek MT7623N SoC, I don't know where you got information about it being supported in 4.11 as I don't see any dts files except the eval board for the SoC.

Buy something else, I don't think we'll support it any time soon, certainly not in F-26.

/boot/dtb-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl/b*
Device trees start with the SoC manufacturer so not B in this case.

No idea, I've not seen any sort of MediaTek support in upstream u-boot.
Peter,
Thanks for the in depth response.

I looked at the information again. It is R1 support, not R2. Bad reading on my part.

Anything else out there with a multLAN? Other than the R1 which I hear has weak performance.

And though I am subscribed to the uboot list, I see you active on it, so you would know...
thanks

The Clearfog is by far the best. It's not multLAN per se, it's got 3 gig ports, one connected to an onboard switch. I've heard people be able to line speed on it.
