Hello, I'm currently working on porting OpenBSD to the Freescale i.MX6, an ARM Cortex-A9 (1-4 cores). It is already supporting USB and SDMMC, works like a charm. The i.MX6 itself got some interesting features like PCIe, SATA and Gigabit Ethernet.
So, if 200$ don't sound too much, that might be an alternative. \Patrick http://boundarydevices.com/products/sabre-lite-imx6-sbc/ http://boundarydevices.com/products/nitrogen6x-board-imx6-arm-cortex-a9-sbc/ Am 09.01.2013 um 20:21 schrieb Gene <gh5...@gmail.com>: > On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 10:54 AM, Andres Genovez <andresgeno...@gmail.com> wrote: >> 2012/12/31 BARDOU Pierre <bardo...@mipih.fr> >> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I would be very interested by an OpenBSD port too. >>> Usage : home router with firewall, DNS and DHCP. >>> >>> I am looking into FreeBSD and NetBSD ports, but I would prefer to have the >>> latest PF and OpenSSH versions... plus I am more used to OpenBSD and I like >>> using it :-) >>> >>> If somebody knows X86 hardware able to do the same (routing/firewlling 20 >>> mbps traffic, VLAN, fits in a tiny box, power consumption below 5W, price >>> around 50$) as the raspberry I am interested BTW. >>> >> I am interested too, can somebody give an advice on what hardware to use? >> maybe 5 lan or at least two lan? an below 100? >> > > For under $100 USD your best bet is to look for a used computer on > craigslist or a yard sale and install another NIC in it.
