¶ Overview
Banana Pi BPI-RV2 open source gateway is a device based on Siflower SF21H8898 SoC, 1 × 2.5G WAN network interface, 5 Gigabit LAN network interface, onboard 512MB DDR3 memory, 128 MiB NAND, 16 MiB NOR, M.2 interface, MINI PCIE and USB 2.0 interface, etc.
¶ Prepare
¶ Prepare
Before you start using the development board, please have the following items ready
¶ Optional Accessories
¶ Power
¶ Burn image
¶ Ethernet burning image
-
Ready to burn, the board is connected to the serial port, and the computer network cable is connected to the network port on the board.
-
Open the serial port tool, restart the uboot, press enter Key to enter the command mode, enter the http://192.168.1.5 command (or other 23 ip address in the same network segment as the PC), press enter, the interface is as follows:
-
Open the browser and enter different urls as required. The following table uses 192.168.1.5 as an example:
| IP address | Function |
|---|---|
192.168.1.1 |
Burn firmware |
192.168.1.1/uboot.html |
Burn uboot |
The normal burning interface is as follows:
It restarts automatically after burning
|
Q: How to deal with uboot burning failure A：If the uboot fails to be burned, the image cannot be updated through the uboot. You can download the image through the irom usb, or remove the flash and re-burn the image in mode of the burner |
