Hi
Dear Team Mikrotik.
Will work RouterOS on device “banana pi BPI-R1”?
http://www.banana-pi.com/eacp_view.asp?id=64
performance results?
Best regards.
Thanks…
I’m trying to understand why would you like to put ROS on the hardware you have mentioned???
Mikrotik has a large number of hardware variations and you will certainly find something for you like…
RouterOS works only on two type of devices:
- x86 PC box (real or virtual)
- RouterBOARD ™ hardware, made by MikroTik
RB951G-2HnD/RB493G - very low performance
RB1100AHx2 - very high price
RB3011 - not for sale (still do not sell in my country)
middle price - ??? …(CCR1005-5G - 200$ 
)
PS: in theory: price(banana pi BPI-R1 + RouterOS) < price(RB3011)
Buch better http://routerboard.com/RB850Gx2
And RB3011 is already shipping to your country. Ask distributor one more time.
Thank you.
I will wait RB3011
Best regards.
Unfortunately not worth the effort
Hi
Mikrotik Team.
Actualize answer to the question. Considering that in the download section has RouterOS for ARM, now Banana PI BPI-R1 will work with RouterOS. Am I right?
It is especially interesting due to with the release of Banana PI BPI-R2
You are wrong. Read normis reply again more closely:
Any ROS version other than x86/chr is exclusively created for and bundled with ROUTERBOARD hardware whether its tile/mips/smips/ppc/arm etc. Just because the pi runs the same CPU architecture doesn’t mean it will just work.
What he said ^^^. Plus, do you really want it? Think about it. You buy a nice hardware device with 2GB RAM, bunch of GPIO ports, SATA, bluetooth, IR receiver, video and audio outputs, … And then you pay extra $45 to put RouterOS on in, only to make almost all those nice things completely useless, because they won’t do you any good under RouterOS. Does that make sense to you?
Please build an image for raspberrypi 3
You can use those devices and do everything that can be done in RouterOS except you
need to study the matter and configure the individual items and programs, something that RouterOS
normally does for you. However, when you do it yourself you can do things that RouterOS cannot yet
do because no user interface elements have been created that manipulate that particular config item.
I use Linux machines as routers, less so now I have discovered MikroTik, but it is working well.
Why use Banana Pi BPI-R3 because they are putting M.2 slots for LTE and 5g cards, something i have been waiting on Mikrotik to do for over 2 years. It would be nice to able to load routeros on this these board if Mikrotik sense at this time mikrotik has no device m.2 slots for 5g cards I stuck using them. I don’t really like OpenWRT but I am forced to either use is on banana PI boards. Only solution i have found to use my 5g cards with 4x4 mimo on a mikrotik is to use ethernet bridge to m.2 or have is connect through the usb port which i hate. Please mikrotik start adding some routerboards with m.2 slots and if dream could come true it would really nice made lte kit with 4 antennas too.
There is also PPC download section but it does not mean that ROS is suspected to work on an old PowerPC Mac.
ARM means ROS for ARM based Mikrotik devices
MIPSBE = ROS for MIPSBE based Mikrotik devices
and so on …
@BartoszP … you do realize you were quoting (and answering) a 6+ years old post, right?
