BananaPi R64
BananaPi R64
The Banana Pi R64 is an experimental router based development board, which we have configured to boot from SD card with the latest version of mainline OpenWRTR. It has 4 Gigabit LAN ports, 1 Gigabit WAN, and AC wifi AP function while using 64 bit chip design.
The MT7622 contains MediaTek’s Adaptive Network technology that allows for easy setup, network self-healing, roaming, band steering, Smart quality of service, advanced security and more. For audio and voice control applications, essential audio interfaces such as I2S, TDM and S/PDIF are included. And for Home Automation Gateways there is a rich array of slow I/O in addition to the integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth solutions.
Powered by a 64-bit dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.35GHz, the MT7622 provides a host of advanced connectivity options like SGMII/RGMII, PCIe, and USB, and 4X4 802.11n FEM integration. Extending the platform with 802.11ac to meet additional markets is simply done via MT7615 SoC.
The advantage of the MediaTek Wi-Fi Warp Accelerator is two-fold. First, it connects the Gigabit+ class 802.11ac networking through to the Gigabit switch/WAN connection via multi-Gigabit internal pathways, ensuring no bottleneck. Secondly, its specialized design not only offloads the CPU from many-user throughput and QoS calculations, it does so at lower power. The result is the MediaTek Wi-Fi Warp Accelerator maintains a sustained high-performance when even supporting multiple, simultaneous heavy users.
We have configured this router to boot the latest version of OpenWRT from sd card and pre-loaded TorGuard VPN configuration files.
