Hi folks,
The discussion regarding the FriendlyARM SBCs and the focus on the
CuBox-i4Pro got me thinking about my ideal arm board. Personally, I think a
small ARM SBC would be perfect as a home router if it has 2 (or more)
Ethernet ports -- preferably gigabit, fanless, serial console (FTDI), etc.
I really like the Cavium port but I'm hoping there is something similar in
the ARM world.
Is anyone familiar with some ARM hardware that would fit that bill? I'd
really like to get my hands on some and help out the project. I think
support for a killer board could really drive up use of this port.
For the record, I'm not trying to steer the current devs away from the
CuBox or BBB but I'd like to engage this port in the best way possible.
Take care,
John
Hi,
ARMv7 Marvell from SolidRun: (similar to Omnia Turris)
https://www.solid-run.com/marvell-armada-family/clearfog/
ARMv8 Marvell from SolidRun:
https://www.solid-run.com/marvell-armada-family/armada-8040-community-board/
Both could possibly work with OpenBSD/armv7 (if drivers are ported).
AMD's A1100 won't work with OpenBSD/armv7, it would need an
OpenBSD/arm64 port.

Hi,
Excuse me joining this discussion, I am currently attempting to get
OpenBSD going on some hardware that myself and a colleague have
developed. This is ARM Cortex-A9 based and fulfils John's criterion for
2xgigabit ethernet. Also fanless and serial console. The purpose is for
a secure router (hence OpenBSD). We only have 5 prototype boards at the
moment. Any help with the porting OpenBSD would be welcome. I have the
hardware knowledge and have messed with WiFi drivers on an OpenBSD PC
but this is the first time I have attempted to get OpenBSD running on
ARM hardware. I believe I have got the basics set up but am unfamiliar
with the structure and how the build system really works. I have got a
basic kernel compiled and it starts running on our hardware but falls
over soon after enabling the MMU. Any suggestions on how I should be
proceeding and what I need to do would be welcome. To start with, all I
want is the kernel and a serial port!
Thanks in anticipation.
David
