Is pfsense supported on AMD Ryzen™ Embedded R1505G

Hi,

Is pfsense supported on AMD Ryzen Embedded R1505G, the AMD Ryzen Embedded R-Series (4X4 BOX-R1000V) seems to be really good with 2.4G Dual Core CPU, SATA support, RAM upto 32G

I looked at the documentation here; https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.2R/hardware/

I know in general AMDs will support pfSense, but wanted to ask as the above hardware is specifically an AMD embedded processor

Thankyou

Hi,

No obstacle in sight

this for example runs without problems and is also embedded:

AMD Epyc 3151

@daddygo Thanks a bunch, really appreciate the insight
I was looking for something with atleast a 4 port embedded Ryzen board, any recommendations? The gigabyte ones are only 2 ports

The goal here is to stay max at 24W and have atleast a 4 port pfsense and get atleast a 1Gig or closer to 1Gig IMIX throughput, am I being realistic?

Thankyou again

The simplest, what I can suggest, if the cost is not a big question...
(and you want to assemble a high-quality tool quickly)

(since we use it I guarantee that it is free of problems)

or look here in the mITX category 1 - 10Gig, for networking MOBOs

for SOHO (cheap - but industrial quality - and here you can choose RAM, CPU, etc.)

these are usually 2 port Eth., so I recommend a RISER card and an Intel based NIC add-on
f.e. (new or eBay):

or eBay f.e.: Cisco Intel I350:

BTW:

The 24W power consumption is pretty exact value, what I'm proposing is MOBO Epyc 3151 if I remember correctly 35W, but I've never seen 10-15W more power consumption with 8GB RAM + 4 port 10Gig I710 + 4 port I350 + 128GB Nvme SSD +SATA DOM
So it depends on many things...
