Hello, Freebsd-embedded. I need small, cheap and silent box with one or two network ports (ARM/MIPS, I think), like legendary ASUS WL500G and other OpenWRT-supported boxes, but with FreeBSD "support". I'm using Soekris net5501 (x86) now and very happy with it, but it is expensive and very-hard-to-buy in Russia, so I can not buy another one as second such box. I don't need WiFi or ADSL in this box, but it will be a plus. Is here any known, SOHO-market, well-availiable sopaboxes, on which FreeBSD could be installed, with wire network support? -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov _______________________________________________ freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-embedded To unsubscribe, send any mail to = "freebsd-embedded-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Sep 13 04:21:41 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 91468106566C for ; Sun, 13 Sep 2009 04:21:41 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from matt@smiffytech.com) Received: from prospero.kbc.net.au (prospero.kbc.net.au [150.101.97.167]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B76D8FC08 for ; Sun, 13 Sep 2009 04:21:40 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [10.10.10.211] (brutus [10.10.10.211]) by prospero.kbc.net.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id 198CF9C0B3 for ; Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:32:25 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <4AAC6ED0.5030702@smiffytech.com> Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:32:24 +0930 From: Matthew Smith User-Agent: Mozilla-Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 (X11/20090707) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org References: <1194242475.20090912204353@serebryakov.spb.ru> <78ACB4D316DCF346930D02BC4B2A4FE905DCD945@mail.syx.local> In-Reply-To: <78ACB4D316DCF346930D02BC4B2A4FE905DCD945@mail.syx.local> X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: Some small networked box with FreeBSD support?

I must have been doing something wrong because the couple of times I tried, it ran out of space. Perhaps I need to do a minimal install and then add any packages I need by hand. Thanks for that.

Just out of curiosity, I tried the same installation (FreeBSD 6.3, i386 - kernel developer config) on a VMware virtual machine to which I had allocated 16Gb of disc. No problems. The clean installation takes up about 650Mb. Why the installation is failing on the 4Gb drive I cannot fathom. Obviously the installer is doing *something* funny. Whilst the Alix devices still look attractive, I've just ordered some RAM via eBay to take both the SBCs up to 128Mb (currently only have 16Mb each.) Will see if I can't get something working. (Odds are the wretched things won't boot off the CF disc like the old ThinkPad I tried it in.)

I've been using the pcengines boards for a long time, one of the largest sets of benifits I found was -no heatsinks or fans -cf cards make it completly silent -built in crypto acceleration on the new geode based units -price, there similar to soekris but 1/4 the price -mfgr provides full blueprints -best of all ... Low power consumption 4watts! On average.. You can run one of a large battery for over a week and in countrys where residential power is 75c/kWh these can save you over 600$ a year in power( for those considering turning an old clunker into a router ) Sent from my iPhone On Sep 13, 2009, at 3:14 AM, "Matthew Smith" wrote: > Quoth Matthew Smith at 2009-09-13 15:06... >>> FreeBSD installs into about 400MB w/o any tweaks at all. so 4gb >>> should be child's play. >> >> I must have been doing something wrong because the couple of times I >> tried, it ran out of space.

When I'm booting on that image, it gets stuck at the "BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02" line. I suspect because my NanoBSD image is setup to just boot on devices with serial ports (which is all I've needed so far). What do I need to do to make it work with either a regular monitor or the serial port if there's no keyboard/monitor? For boot0cfg I use boot0sio, do I need to make two separate images just to have different boot loaders? I also have hint.atkbdc.0.disabled="1" in my boot/loader.conf -- I can't figure out where the documentation for that is, but I'm guessing for my "PC boot" image I need to not have that, right? - ask From owner-freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Sep 13 20:29:29 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 43AA4106568D for ; Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:29:29 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ask@develooper.com) Received: from x8.develooper.com (x8.develooper.com [207.171.7.208]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F9ED8FC08 for ; Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:29:28 +0000 (UTC) Received: (qmail 12481 invoked from network); 13 Sep 2009 20:29:28 -0000 Received: from gw.develooper.com (HELO embla.bn.dev) (ask@mail.dev@64.81.84.140) by smtp.develooper.com with ESMTPA; 13 Sep 2009 20:29:28 -0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v1076) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed; delsp=yes From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Ask_Bj=F8rn_Hansen?= In-Reply-To: <32CA43D9-7E99-46FA-80E2-9819E9E0387E@develooper.com> Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:29:27 -0700 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-Id: References: <32CA43D9-7E99-46FA-80E2-9819E9E0387E@develooper.com> To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Ask_Bj=F8rn_Hansen?= X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.1076) Cc: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NanoBSD on VMware (no serial console) X-BeenThere: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Dedicated and Embedded Systems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:29:29 -0000 On Sep 13, 2009, at 12:46, Ask Bj=F8rn Hansen wrote: [booting nanobsd on vmware] > What do I need to do to make it work with either a regular monitor =20 > or the serial port if there's no keyboard/monitor? > > For boot0cfg I use boot0sio, do I need to make two separate images =20 > just to have different boot loaders? > > I also have > > hint.atkbdc.0.disabled=3D"1" I changed boot0sio to boot0 and disabled made loader.conf have =20 hint.atkbdc.0.disabled=3D"0" and now I get the choice of which NanoBSD =20= partition to boot, but it freezes after showing "\" on the next line.

That should be helpful. I'd been steering away from NanoBSD and the like because it looked a bit complicated as most of my Unix-like experience is Linux and some early AIX.

It turned up here fine - but then I was on a cc for Eric's mail. I think that the list probably doesn't allow attachments and has dropped it. I'll forward it to you directly.

What is the consensus of the group as to how well suited these are to freebsd? Right now they have old version of Linux on them. These are the model GW2348-4 with 4 minipci slots on them. I've got ubiquiti wifi cards for several bands, and gps modules for the GPIO slots to go along with them. Discuss how well these work with FreeBSD on the list, but any offers or questions specific to the board should be directed to me privately.
