The Case Design
Banana Pi offers two distinct types of metal enclosures. Our review focuses on the CNC-manufactured version, which consists of four distinct components: a semi open profile, an upper cover, and side covers connected with screws, with all the necessary cuts for the LAN ports and interfaces. The alternative metal case is produced using the sheet metal bending process, making it likely to be more durable under heavy weight / pressure when applied to the case, what can be handy when used in industrial environments.
Fantastic buy. OpenWRT compatible only on the snapshot version, but it runs smoothly. Strange choice to put PoE on the WAN port: my LAN switch has PoE, so I swapped WAN and one of the LAN ports to make it work.
I understand. Yes, it’s cheap, good quality, and works well.
Bought a CR1220 battery, but no way to have RTC work.
Bought an M.2 disk, but it seems not recognized (maybe because is a SATA one, not NVME: very difficult to find M.2 NVME disks with B-Key).
Lacks a lot of informations and settings…
Try the ImmortalWrt snapshot, its better. SATA shouldn’t work, so your right.
