Welcome to the NanoPi R2S Tools, SDKs & Images Backup repository.
This repo is a ready-to-use archive of verified, fully working operating system images, software development kits (SDKs), tools, and source code for the NanoPi R2S single-board computer.
Rather than being a step-by-step installation guide, this is a preservation and convenience resource.
You are free to use, modify, or adapt anything here for your own projects.

The NanoPi R2S is a compact ARM-based router board powered by the Rockchip RK3328 platform, ideal for networking, embedded computing, and custom firmware projects.
This repository contains a curated backup of tested, functioning builds and essential development assets — no trial-and-error required. Whether you want quick deployment options or a solid base for custom development, this archive ensures you always have access to working firmware, SDKs, and tools.
- Images/ – Fully working OS and firmware images for the NanoPi R2S.
- SDK/ – Cross-compilation toolchains, headers, and build scripts.
- Code/ – Source code for utilities, patches, and example apps.
- Tools/ – Utilities for debugging, networking, and device maintenance.
- Docs/ – Hardware notes, kernel versions, and relevant configuration details.
Included in this archive are confirmed working builds for:
- FriendlyWrt – OpenWrt-based router firmware
- Armbian – Debian/Ubuntu-based OS optimized for SBCs
- Debian / Ubuntu Custom Builds – ARM64-ready configurations
- Minimal / Specialized Linux Distributions tested on NanoPi R2S
This repo exists to preserve and share reliable, ready-to-use NanoPi R2S resources, making it easy to:
- Access proven working firmware without hunting multiple sources
- Rebuild or customize images with included SDKs
- Have a permanent backup in case upstream projects change or disappear
There’s no fixed procedure — it’s entirely up to you:
- Download any image and flash it to your media
- Use tools for testing, debugging, or tweaking configurations
- Dive into SDKs for building your own firmware
- Keep as a trusted archive for future projects
I’m actively looking for people interested in collaborating — not only on maintaining and expanding this NanoPi R2S resources collection, but also on other exciting hardware and software projects in the networking, embedded, and open-source communities.
Whether you’re into firmware development, system optimization, networking setups, or open-source tooling, your skills and ideas are welcome.
Together, we can support ongoing work, enhance stability, and take projects to full maturity.
If you want to customize:
- Use SDK/ contents for setup and cross-compilation
- Follow the respective OS build system (OpenWrt, Armbian, Debian etc.)
- Refer to
Docs/for kernel versions and build notes
If you have working images, tools, or enhancements to share:
- Fork this repo
- Add your files/resources
- Submit a Pull Request

This repository and its resources are part of the broader NanoPi ecosystem, which includes popular models such as the NanoPi R2S, NanoPi R4S, NanoPi R6S, NanoPi Neo, NanoPi R5S, NanoPi Neo4, NanoPi R5C, NanoPi Neo3, NanoPi M4, and NanoPi Neo2. Enthusiasts working with accessories like the 4x SATA HAT for NanoPi M4 or using platforms such as the Allwinner H3 Quad-Core Cortex-A7 will find these tools invaluable. While NanoPi brings powerful hardware options, the blending of Arduino Nano Pi projects offers even more flexibility for embedded applications. This repository also supports firmware solutions including FriendlyWrt and OpenWrt, renowned for their capabilities in IPv6 networking, router customization, and print server setups. Users working with OpenWrt can leverage it across diverse hardware, including x86 architectures, and enjoy features such as WiFi 6 support. Common configuration scenarios such as accessing web interfaces via URLs like http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 on TP-Link or Linksys routers, or managing accounts at cloudtrax.com, are part of the networking environments this repository aims to complement. For those interested in exploring the OpenWrt Table of Hardware or integrating LEDE router projects, this collection offers foundational tools and images to facilitate those endeavors. Whether working with OpenWrt Linux distributions or custom OpenWrt router firmware, this archive stands as a comprehensive reference for the NanoPi and open-source networking communities.
