PFsense on ARM (Raspberry Pi3 B+)
-
All ARM bits are on our github. Anyone knowledgeable enough could build it.
-
I would avoid it as RPi is simply too slow and not worth the effort. We will be introducing more ARM devices soon :)
-
Yeah, a little more diggin’ on the Pi hardware shows its less than stellar for this usecase. The NIC is worthless
-
The ODROID-C2 does Gb (~980Mb/s) both ways
But i think FreeBSD support is lacking

espresso.bin ;)

I just wanted to say RPi3 does not run on FreeBSD 11.x only on -CURRENT. There will never be RPi3 on FreeBSD 11.x per IRC chats.
-
Would it be the same case for the NanoPI-fire3 ?

Less likely than the RPi3. Unless they are 100% compatible.
Check https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm
But even devices on that list would still require work and that isn't planned right now.

According to https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi, this is not an issue anymore. Does that mean that pfSense will run now?

It's still 12 or 13 only so you would be looking at a special build of 2.5. Which doesn't exist so, no, it still won't run.
If we were ever to look at RasPi it would be far more likely to be the Pi 4 because of the vastly superior Ethernet on that board.
