¶ Banana Pi BPI-R3
The Sinovoip Banana Pi BPI-R3 test device comes in an esd-bag in a carton. There are no accessories, no cables no quicktstart, just the device. In the European market it is available e.g. at Amazon as a Kit or without a case. The Kit also includes:
- Power supply
- Metal Casing
- 8 x Antenna
- 8 x pigtail
- serial adapter
The case can also be bought seperately.
Prices vary a bit, mostly they are below 200 € for a kit.
¶ First Boot
First I had to figure out what kind of power supply to use. It needs to be able to deliver up to ** 2 Ampere** at 12 Volts. Luckily I have plenty of power supplies in my lab so it's literally Plug & Play. The red Power LED lights up when you connect the power supply. There is a series of 7 LEDs, labeled like that:
- PWR
- G
- B
- W2G
- W5G
- LTE
- SSD
I could not find any specifics about each of those LED. Some of them are self explanatory but I couldn't figure out what the G and B LED are for.
This is what appears on the serial console if there is no bootable device.

System halt!
In order to see any output at all, I connected my USB to serial adapter directly to the UART 3 Pin serial port on the board.

¶ 2.5G Networking
I think a word needs to be said to 2.5G networking these days. It seems like a valid options, since 5G and 10G Equipment is still a bit expensive and power hungry. Yet 2.5G is not that common. Try to find a 2.5G compatible SFP for fiber (LR / SR). They are pretty rare. One I could find was the TP-Link TL-SM411LSA (Fiber) which is sadly not available in Europe as the TL-SM410U (Copper) from TP-Link. Both adapters were tested by the manufacturer.
I tried a module that seemed like a good fit, but it's actually not: Mikrotik S+RJ10 which supports rates of 1G / 2.5G and 10G but it was not recognized by the Banana Pi. Probably because it's an SFP+ while the Pi only uses SFP.

The cheapest copper SFP for 2.5G Ethernet I could find was the SFP-2.5G-T from fs.com for around 50 €.
Also switches with 2.5G are not that common, yet. On the plus there is quite low power consumption and PCIe Ethernet Adapters with good chipsets like Intel are available from 30-40 € per piece.
2.5G Ethernet can be a reasonable decision to upgrade to. It's fast enough to cope with Wifi 6 simultaneous band speeds, it is affordable and consumes a reasonable amount of power. So if you choose 2.5G, the Banana Pi BPi-R3 might be a really good fit for you.
For my review though I was not able to get SFP modules that worked with the Banana Pi. At first I wanted to have fiber connection. Just for fun: Try to search a NIC that supports 2.5G Ethernet and offers SFP ports. Only those will be able to adapt to fiber connection. All adapters I could find were copper only. In the end I didn't manage to get 2.5G ethernet working, so all my wifi benchmarks are made with 1G only.
¶ Booting
The device comes preinstalled with OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT as well as on the NAND and the NOR chip. It's a bit difficult to figure out how to choose between boot devices. There is a 4 channel dip switch on the side of the device. The labelling is a bit confusing. On one side it's:
(1) (2) (3) (4)
on the other side there is:
(A) (B) (C) (D)
In the Wiki they use:
(SW1-A) (SW1-B) (SW1-C) (SW1-D)
I will use the notation below. This is how you choose what boot device you would like to use:
| Jumper Setting | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPIM-NOR |  |
|
|
 |
| SPIM-NAND |  |
|
|
|
| eMMC | |
|
|
|
| SD | |
|
|
|
-> pull the lever down
-> pull the lever up
-> irrelevant if up or down
Sadly booting from M.2 NVME SSD is not possible, so this is only an option for additional mass storage.
¶ Install Vanilla OpenWrt
First things first, install OpenWrt. The latest stable release 22.03.2 does not support the device, yet, I need to download the snapshot image for sdcard. This is how to flash it to an micro SD card.

sudo sync
First try already worked. The full bootlog can be found at the appendix. SD card and the integrated EMMC cannot be used at the same time, as they share the same interface on the SoC.
As the snapshot images typically come without a webgui this is what I install first.
opkg install luci luci-ssl
This pre-release of vanilla OpenWrt I used for all my tests and benchmarks, it's OpenWrt SNAPSHOT, r21629-9d8eff6799
¶ Wireless
No additional packages were necessary to get Wifi support. The integrated MediaTek MT7986 supports both 5 and 2.5 GHz with support for Wifi 6 ( aka 802.11ax).
This is how the wifi status looks like:
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# wifi status

}
}
The Board comes with eight IPX Antenna connectors, four times 2.4 GHz and four times 5 GHz.
As this documentation shows, the integrated Wifi Chips support 4x4 Mimo for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. In the spec sheet from Mediatek it says:
Support Dual band Dual Concurrent
During my tests I was not able to get concurrent dual band working,
In order to get some numbers I installed and started iperf3 on the rpi3 itself and tested with a Lenovo T14 Gen1 AMD and an Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (rev 1a).
This is the OpenWrt wifi configuration for my benchmarks:
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc/18000000.wmac'
option band '2g'
option cell_density '0'
option htmode 'HE40'
option channel '9'
option txpower '20'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
option device 'radio0'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'bench'
option encryption 'sae'
option key 'temppw'
config wifi-device 'radio1'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc/18000000.wmac+1'
option band '5g'
option cell_density '0'
option htmode 'HE80'
option txpower '20'
option channel 'auto'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
option device 'radio1'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'bench'
option encryption 'sae'
option key 'temppw'
In order to get the highest rates possible I enabled 40 MHz bandwidth for 2.5GHz and 80 MHz width for the 5 GHz band. Choosing 160Mhz did not work.
Those are the results:

iperf Done.
I was not able to utilize 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band at the same time. So if this is going to work some day you can expect to break through the one gigabit/s threshold. You can say that the wireless results are ok for single band only. It peaked at around 900 Mbit/s but overall it was around 600 Mbit/s on average.
This is a traffic graph of the 5GHz interface during an iperf3 test.
¶ CPU Benchmarks
In order to get some numbers about how much performance you can expect from the CPU I did some OpenSSL Benchmarks. Please refer to this site for more information about the how the test is performed. You can see a comparison to more different systems on this page. I benchmarked three different devices:
- Deciso DEC740
- PC Engines APU4D4
- Banana Pi Bpi-r3

| apu4d4 | 130,5 | 4489,2 | 332,9 | 362 |
As expected the AMD Ambedded CPU of the dec740 outperforms in all benchmarks. The Banana Pi is faster than the AMD CPU of the APU4 in every test, too. Overwall I would say a very decent performance for such a low power SoC.
¶ Power consumption:
| Range of power consumption in Watt | Number of Twisted Pair connected | Number of SFP connteced | Wifi 2.5GHz enabled | Wifi 5GHz enabled | CPU state | M2 SSD | mini-PCI express |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.1 - 4.2 | 1 | 0 | |

| 4.8 - 4.9 | 1 | 0 |  |

As a result I would say running idle versus running CPU intensive tasks the difference is around 0.3 Watt. The biggest difference so far is in using an NVME SSD. It adds a bit more than 3 Watts to the bill. Enabling Wifi will add around 0.6 Watts. When under full load and fully equiped with M.2 and mini PCIe it might go a bit over 10 Watts which is really a formidable value.
¶ Final words
If you plan on getting this device I suggest you get it together with a case, wifi antenna cables and antennas of course. The most logical move would be to take a such a kit.
If you plan to go from 1G to 2.5G ethernet it's also quite of an ideal candidate, considering the really good price performance ratio. The current unstable branch of OpenWrt is already really usable but you can of course use the manufacturer's image, which is a reasonably recent version of OpenWrt.
The Banana Pi r3 is a good performer and at the same time consumes only little power.
