pfSense arhitecture support
-
Please confirm,
Original hardware from pfSense have been optimized during pfsense plus compile kernel?I mean for this each hardware pfsense do special optimization during code compile and for the rest only general build amd64 optimisation in code. Is it correct? Let say I want to include special optimization for my hardware for which me bought pfsense plus, is it possible?
How doing in FreeBSD during compile:
CPUTYPE?=native for all flags support -
No the Plus kernel is the same for all devices. Hardware specific tuning is done mostly via loader values and sysctls.

But it's going auto during installation for hardware or should make manually after installation of according my specific hardware?
-
Most hardware should not require anything specific. If you had some unusual NIC types you might need tunables. The N100 CPU in your system often requires some careful handling for the power settings judging by other user reports. Since we don't ship anything with that CPU no custom values are set by default.

Do you mean in advanced Power Preference?

There are several threads about boxes with N100 CPUs specifically where the default power settings in the BIOS interact unexpectedly with the speedshift driver in FreeBSD/pfSense.
