Re: A single-board computer for NetBSD

I have used APU systems for a different purpose too, and only have good experiences. The CPUs are relatively slow, the boxes are rock solid even when used outside of normal office conditions. But (since this started with an ERLITE3) there is one downside: as amd64 the CPUs unfortunately have the

I have the same. I did not replace the USB stick, and in the original msdos partition I placed a netbsd.elf32 file in the same name as the linux kernel was (it was 'vmlinux.64' or so). I imagine replicating the partitions will work, but I haven't tried.

Hello guys, I think of creating a simple router for home use with NetBSD. Just for fun. I imagine a single board printed circuit with passive cooling, with 2+ 100+ Mbit/s ethernet ports and maybe a vga port too. A Raspberry Pi sort of thing, but maybe not exactly that.. Hmm, some olimex board
