Welcome to the 2.4 board
-
Question - processor specific issue.
Will pfsense 2.4 64bit run on a D2700 board? Its supposed to be 64 bit capable but I've read about some issues.
Currently there is a 32 bit version of pfsense running on a pfsense install that is far far away.
I'd test it myself but I can't physically touch that system. So, anyone know?

Will there be an i386 build when 2.4 is released?
No, 32-bit has been taken out of the build scripts for 2.4.
2.3.* is the last release stream for 32-bit. There is yet to be an official announcement about the EOL support for that - I am hoping that ordinary code/fixes will continue to be back-ported and that a formal release build will be done "every now and then" of the RELENG_2_3 branch up to the EOL for FreeBSD 10.3 in 2018.That's interesting, because the SG-1000 is based on the ARM Cortex-A8 which is is a 32-bit processor and only runs 2.4.

The intended detailed meaning is that 32-bit i386 has been removed (and all nanoBSD has been removed).
Technically speaking, yes there is still 32-bit in 2.4 because a 32-bit ARM build has been added. -

Thus a good reason for Netgate to continue 2.3 support well into the future. Phil- you absolutely sure that its sold with 2.4?

Yep, the ARM build is only in 2.4
I see that people are reporting 2.4-BETA issues on SG-1000 devices here, so I guess the hardware was ready back in Nov/Dec 2016 and they decided to ship it with 2.4-BETA

Yup. I've got it running at home. It's on 2.4 beta. There are daily releases (which I only load once a week to retain my sanity). It's a cute little box, smaller than my Raspberry Pi. And it works well enough for home. Here's a shot of the console showing the output of sysctl, uname, /etc/version and /etc/platform. 32 bit ARM (Cortex-A8) and pfSense 2.4

Just watching the November 2016 Hangout where Jimp explains this. If you have Gold Membership I recommend watching this video. Otherwise I can try to summarize what was said..

Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue…
pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pfSense repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.Also no updates here https://snapshots.pfsense.org/amd64/pfSense_master/installer/?C=M;O=D

Looks like somebody got it fixed. Thanks.
