The recent flurry of activity on the armv7 port prompted me to buy a
Wandboard Quad so I could try a new hardware platform.
As you'd expect with OpenBSD, installation was dead simple and
trouble-free. I grabbed the latest snapshot miniroot-wandboard-60.fs file
from my local mirror, dd'ed it to an SD card, stuck the card in the top
slot on the Wandboard (there are 2 slots, but reportedly only the upper
slot is bootable), plugged in a null modem cable for a serial console, and
connected the power. The board booted into bsd.rd and installed as usual.
I have not done any extensive testing yet, but I'm including the results
of 'openssl speed' and 'md5 -t' as a crude benchmark of CPU performance.
According to the specs this board is supposed to run at 1 GHz, but mine
seems to boot up at 792 MHz instead. This is probably configurable
somewhere, maybe within U-Boot, but I have not explored that yet.
The only oddity I've noticed so far is that the dmesg lists a third sdmmc
device when there are only two physical slots. I have not tried using a
second SD card in the lower slot, but I expect it will work fine.
Following are the 'openssl speed' and 'md5 -t' results, as well as a
'sysctl hw' and dmesg. Thanks to the developers who have been working so
hard on this platform!
