Product Information

Still, most likely, it will support OPNSense or OpenWrt or perhaps both because this board is ideal for working as a gateway protection firewall device to help protect local networks from cyber-attacks.

Of interest, we’re talking about bog-standard Android 12 here, not that horrible Android TV software you often see. I simply downloaded the FriendlyCore file for SD from here (7GB) and again with Balena Etcher flashed it onto an SD (a 32GB I had handy) and booted the R5S from it. FriendlyELEC has equipped the NanoPi R5S with 2 GB LPDR4x RAM, 8 GB eMMC flash memory, a microSD card slot, and an M. After the OS begins to load, if the system LED is flashing and the network LED is on, it means the the OS has loaded successfully.

When you boot with the microSD, a simple GUI will pop up, designed by FriendlyElec company, making this task super easy and fast, even for no tech geeks with previous experience.

The NanoPi R5S board comes in two main variations equipped with 4GB RAM and 2GB RAM configurations with few changes to the eMMC flash storage capacity.
