      Hi dear proffesionals , we have a couple  of ZyWall 110 hardware and i want to run it in pfsense, the zywall 110 runs in  Cavium OCTEON II processor, i will read that freebsd 10.x supports  that processor, if pfsense 2.3 support that processors and possible run pfsense  on zywall110 series

        Pfsense only runs on x86 hardware for now.

        Afaik there are plans for arm compat in the future

            Hi dear proffesionals , we have a couple  of ZyWall 110 hardware

            PfSense is a x86 based software firewall and the ZyWall is not hardware compatible to that piece of software.

            and i want to run it in pfsense, the zywall 110 runs in  Cavium OCTEON II processor,

            The Cavium OCTEON II CPU is from the CN68XX family and that are MIPS64 CPUs and not really x86
            hardware like. It can cbe used in smaller devices as a CPU only and in other devices as a add on CPU
            for doing the encryption and compression workload. So it can be a single CPU or as stand alone and
            also as a CPU on an add on card or as a co-processor in greater systems.

            i will read that freebsd 10.x supports  that processor,

            It can be that FreeBSD is supporting it, but not as a main or system CPU!
            Only on add on cards or as a co-processor it might be recognized.

            if pfsense 2.3 support that processors and possible run pfsense  on zywall110 series

            pfSense has no MIPS64 fork at this days.
