1 Work with FriendlyWrt

1.1 Introduction to FriendlyWrt

FriendlyWrt is a customized system made by FriendlyElec based on an OpenWrt distribution. It is open source and well suitable for developing IoT applications, NAS applications, smart home gateways etc.

1.2 Account & Password

By default the password is NULL. You can set a password for root for web and SSH login.

1.3 Network Connection

Use a network cable to connect {{{1}}}'s WAN to a master router and the board will get an IP address via DHCP. Login into the router and check {{{1}}}'s IP address.

1.4 Login FriendlyWrt

Type {{{1}}}'s IP address or http://friendlywrt/ in a browser's address bar and enter to open FriendlyWrt's administration page or you can login into FriendlyWrt's administration page via SSH.
By default, the IP address of the LAN port is 192.168.2.1, and the WAN will dynamically obtain the IP address from your main router.

1.6 Work with USB WiFi Device

1.6.1 Check USB WiFi Device with Command Line Utility

(1) Click on "services>ttyd" to start the command line utility

(2) Make sure no USB devices are connected to your board and run the following command to check if any USB devices are connected or not

lsusb

(3) Connect a USB WiFi device to the board and run the command again

lsusb

You will see a new device is detected. In our test the device's ID was 0BDA:C811

(4) Type your device's ID (in our case it was "0BDA:C811" or "VID_0BDA&PID_C811") in a search engine and you may find a device that matches the ID. In our case the device we got was Realtek 8811CU.

1.6.2 Configure a USB WiFi Device as AP

(1) Connect a USB WiFi device to the NanoPi R2S. We recommend you to use the following devices which we have tested with FriendlyElec's rk3328-sd-friendlywrt-5.4-20200514.img file

Note: devices that match these VID&PIDs would most likely work.

(2) Click on "System>Reboot" and reboot your NanoPi R2S

(3) Click on "Network>Wireless" to enter the WiFi configuration page

(4) Click on "Edit" to edit the configuration

(5) On the "Interface Configuration" page you can set the WiFi mode and SSID, and then go to "Wireless Security" to change the password. By default the password is "password". After you make your changes click on "Save" to save

(6) After you change the settings you can use a smartphone or PC to search for WiFi

1.7 Work with Docker Applications

1.7.1 Work with Docker: Install JellyBin

docker run --restart=always -d -p 8096:8096 -v /jellyfin/config:/config -v /jellyfin/videos:/videos jellyfin/jellyfin:10.1.0-arm64 -name myjellyfin

After installation, visit port 8096 and here is what you would find:

1.7.2 Work with Docker: Install Personal Nextcloud
