Jonathan, thank you for the update. Richard, I am in the market for one of these boards too, or some other C3000 series model. I'm a big fan of Supermicro's C2000 boards because they are so versatile for low-power applications. They are also excellent home servers due to this and the correspondingly low heat and noise. Of course if you have a C2000 series board you would need to ensure that it doesn't suffer from the notorious Erratum AVR.54 defect [1]. Please could you keep us updated re: your progress of getting OpenBSD installed along with the support status of all devices? If so this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! [1] A little-known fact is that if you look through Intel's data sheets and whitepapers you can find similar defects in the stepping errata for other SoC's. In my case I found an almost identical example in a recent Celeron or Pentium J-series SoC. To add to my disappointment, I later discovered, entirely coincidentally, that it was used on the controller boards for a model of Synology NAS that I was considering purchasing.
