Re: best armv7 device for fw
Some reports show that the Minnowboard Max run fine (it run coreboot). Also, anyone know about the socppc port? The board suggested on site (the RouterBOARD RB600A) seems good for simple stuff, although, don't know about how advanced is this platform port...
best armv7 device for fw
Howdy misc, Wondering if anyone has any advice for a OpenBSD armv7 device that has. 2 gb nic (1 could be ok) builtin wifi With working networking + storage etc. / J Sent using GuerrillaMail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com/abuse/?a=TEhnBi0PU7Ebih2wvnENdQ%3D%3D
Re: best armv7 device for fw
I guess amd64 or other modern platform will also work as long as its small. Any suggestions for a low footprint (SoC) board that support gb nic and has good wifi support (ap mode and all)? Check out: http://www.pcengines.ch/ Also, lots of miniITX boards out there that may fit the bill, though these will consume more watts, generally. The nice thing about true industrial boards is you pay for things like capacitors that don't dry out in 4 years, etc. -- John D. Verne j...@clevermonkey.org

Same with the Cubieboard. Some models of the Wandboard seem to meet your requirements (besides having one ethernet port). Likewise with the Nitrogen6X and SABRE Lite (though afaik the SABRE has no wifi). They're expensive. You can get an amd64 PC Engines APU with three gigabit ports and a mSATA SSD for less. However, even if it's there, I don't know if the built-in wifi of any armv7 device will work properly on OpenBSD, especially as an AP or with 11a. I don't own one with wifi, and it's not mentioned on the port's page. Some USB NICs (wired and wireless) are supported and can be used with imx or panda boards. See usb(4) for a list. This brings me to my question. Why does the firewall need to be an armv7 device? I've played with the armv7 port extensively and don't think it's useful for anyone who is not interested in hacking on the platform. If the banana pi r1 were fully supported, it would be a reasonably priced candidate, but that still begs the question of why it has to be armv7. There are a lot of low cost low power amd64 boards on the market and if you run stable and have an existing build infrastructure (like I do), you can build considerably faster on a big amd64 box and roll out updates quicker (compared to building on, say, a beaglebone black).

In the last few months the amd64 kernel gained some pretty significant kernel hardening. When is the equivelant happening for the arm codebase? Probably never, just to start with the various arm mmus are wimpier.
