Found the hardware for my new pfsense build thought i would share this great little platform!!!
2.3Ghz Quad-core processor J4105 (14nm) with 4MiB Cache
- Dual-channel Memory DDR4-PC19200 (2400MT/s)
- Total 32GiB RAM Space with two SO-DIMM slots
- 4 x PCIe 2.0 for one NVMe storage
- 2 x Gbit Ethernet ports
- 2 x SATA 3.0
- SSE4.2 accelerator (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES)
- Intel UHD Graphics (Gen9.5) 600 (GT1) 700Mhz
- HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 multiple video outputs

@mikefallen said in ODROID H2 SBC:
- 2 x Gbit Ethernet ports
Those are Realtek crap NICs, so for FreeBSD based networking this is a shitty little platform.

I thought support in recent Freebsd/pfsense versions was a lot better for Realtek NIC's?
Guess ill stick to PC engines

More like recent Realtek NICs are a lot better than the old 10/100 chips. But that's not saying much.
Intel NICs are still massively preferred but they could OK on that board. Someone would need to test it.

If your Realtek chipset is among those listed here, I have had very good luck with the official driver. The compiled binary for 2.4.4 is here:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/135850/official-realtek-driver-binary-1-95-for-2-4-4-releaseI run two pfSense boxes with Realtek NICs and have had no problems at all with them using that driver. However, I'm dealing with 100/10 cable connections. I wouldn't expect them to achieve full gigabit speeds and I wouldn't trust them for enterprise applications, but for home use with sub-gigabit Internet connections they should be perfectly adequate.
