Hi Shawn, Sadly, not able to make it to Canada this year, but for the last week or = so since your announce I've been nudging along builds of OPNSense on = ARMv8, via beaglebone boards, building from FreeBSD 11-ALPHA2 images. = Nothing special since the base ARM work comes from stock FreeBSD, I'm = just compiling it. My last build started yesterday, which apparently incorporates your = HardenedBSD work as well, exciting to see all this work coming together! So far so good, burning some micro-SD media to get the job done, so it = just takes *time* ;) Will happily give a shout when I have successful serial images built.
