Hello, I found a working image of OPNsense for NanoPi R4S built by Mr. Ganbold from FreeBSD ARM Team but it was for 2/4GB LPDDR4 version so I re-used it to work with 1GB DDR3 version. User can find the OPNsense for NanoPi R4S images here How to flash: ⋅ Download the image ⋅ Downl...
Thank you for the reply.

I have just received my device and I have been playing around with it.
Tested Armbian on it and it worked very smoothly while the kernel used is 5.4 at the time of my test which is few months old which is an LTS release so it should be fine for long time. Keep up the good work armbian. Problem with ubuntu is there is no way to have all the apps from one repo, example n...
For everyone who have the same questions like me which I asked above then the answers for them is Black edition is not pin compatible so only option is Neo or Neo Plus2 but Neo Plus2 will not completely fit inside the case. it will come outside the case, So I will cut the metal plate accordingly to ...
I was able to use vanilla mainline kernel with all sunxi50-a64 modules enabled and everything is working fine.

Even uboot can be build directly from denx uboot branch with the help of tfa bl31.

Nice device.
I cannot find any specification of JSM567 as mentioned on the datasheet of the NAS Kit.

I can only find JMS576 so I assume it is a typo on all the datasheet provided by FriendlyArm ?

Can anyone confirm?
Hello everyone, After doing alot of research. I finally purchased NeoPlus2 with 1bay NAS Kit. As I have read that neoplus2 already have mainline uboot support, I will build it for manjaro package. I was not able to find any mainline kernel source for this device. If anyone can point me to the right ...
Update. After doing some more research. I found that some supplier are selling 1bay nas kit dock with the claim that neo plus2 is supported. I am not sure of this compatibility claim. If anyone can confirm if I can use neo plus2 with nas kit then it will be very helpful. Thanks. Update: I compared N...
Hello @admin and @FATechsupport, I tried to purchase from your official store but it doesn't seem to get shipping cost to my country. I have dropped an email to contact us. If it cannot be send to my country then maybe I should purchase it from Aliexpress? Also is there any plan for Neo2-1GB version...
Hi Igor, I see you here :D Well every SBC manufacturer is depending on Armbian devs. As I use Balbes kernels for most of the devices I maintain at Manjaro ARM Community :D I see Armbian is maintaining support for Neo2 which is good to see as there is mainline 5.4 support :D https://www.armbian.com/n...
Looks like my post is still under review, so posting another one. After reading alot I see that neo2 black face different gpio pins so it won't be compatible with 1bay nas dock kit. While neo2-1gb is out of stock all over online stores. If there is any way I can buy 1gb model then please advice. Als...
Hello, I would like to know the same before I place the order. Is neo2 black compatible with. 1-kit Nas dock? Also anyone officially maintaining the support? Also I dont like omv anymore as I've been using it since few years but might move to nextcloud with smb/cif/nfs. I would appreciate a quick re...
