To note, NetBSD seems to have this going to multi-user with networking - so there is something to reference at least. OpenBSD is fully support on it's predecessor, the RB600A ( but they haven't got back to me on this - 4 days+, which means, officially, I'm committing AT LEAST 2 boards up for development to freeBSD. At least y'all seem interested. ) Power for these, at least how I've used them, is 48V POE - I might be able to supply an injector - working on it. They will run off a generic AC adapter - I have the specs. cheers -bp On Sep 20, 2013, at 9:49 PM, Adrian Chadd <adrian@freebsd.org> wrote: > > > > On 20 September 2013 21:46, Benjamin Perrault <ben.perrault@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes.

I noticed it's on the embedded want list on the wiki - so that's a start - and it's a nice platform that could use from a proper OS ( not awful proprietary RouterOS or a linux flavor ). While netbsd has support for it, it's not something I use regularly. Additionally, work/a port on this - it will probably work on the MikroTik RB1100 and RB1100ah ( at least from looking at netbsd/linux code & mailing lists I've looked at ) and possibly a few more MPC8544 based boards - so there is additional merit beyond just this I think. >> >> While I would love to attempt this port myself - I fear I lack the apptitude ( and don't want to spew out some nasty hack ). So extending the offer of hardware is what I can contribute. The boards are located in San Francisco, but i can ship to most places without to much problem ( though anyone local I'll treat to a few pints as well for the endeavor - pre, during and post ). >> >> So if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested in the FreeBSD development team ( I don't like to see hardware go to waste ) - please let me know / contact me.
