Run pfSense on.. Xbox 360? [ANSWERED]
-
I'm wondering is it possible to run pfSense on Xbox 360? :)
It can run Linux, so… -
Interesting question. I guess you'd be the first!
Can it run FreeBSD? Is there not a bootloader restriction?Steve
Edit: Yes but looks like it requires some patches and only mentions FreeBSD 7.

I think that's only Xbox, not Xbox 360. The original Xbox used a Pentium III CPU, but the Xbox 360 uses something PowerPC-based.

I was perhaps reading more into this article than was actually there. ::)

Well.. as far I know Xbox 360 has custom 3-core Xenon Processor:
IBM PowerPC Xenon 3,2 GHz
and it works in in-order execution mode.
But only 512 MB GDDR3 shared memory is available. -
Xeon is not Xenon!
It's PowerPC so no chance of running pfSense without a lot of work.

Oops! I phrased that badly. :-[
The CPU in the Xbox 360 is indeed an [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_%28processor%29]IBM Xenon, as you originally wrote. It is Power PC architecture.
I was pointing out that it is very different from Intel's Xeon processor which is X86 (64) architecture.Steve
