Finally EspressoBin Install?
-
With the changes to support of 3rd party hardware, does this mean we can install on other Arm devices?
I have an EapressoBin, which I bought to replace the failed eMMC in my SG-1100, since it’s the same hardware without the enabler chip, but if I don’t have to mess with desoldering and resoldering the eMMC I would love that.
There’s also some very nice Arm devices out there that have multiple NICs that I could see home users running, if we could install pfSense on them. I’m assuming as long as the version of FreeBSD is supported on the device it should be fine, right? -

Not sure I would say that - but if freebsd is supported on it, would be a first step in getting pfsense to run on it..

@johnpoz Since it's the base hardware for the SG-1100, it's a pretty safe bet that the support is there for the hardware. So, the CE installer can now install on ARM platforms then?

I don't show any CE download for arm? Even if the sg1100 was based on that, the only place to get image for sg1100 that I am aware of its netgate - you have to request the install software for their devices if you what was once called FE or now +
I have not looked into what or how they are now offering for getting + if you want to run it on your own hardware. But I was not aware they were making this available for ARM?

@johnpoz I just figured that, since they are supporting pfSense+ on 3rd party hardware, we may finally be able to install onto ARM, especially those devices that are the base for their own appliances. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.
