      Snce Raspberry Pi isnt x86, there are alternatives (a bit more expensive) to look at, such as the Intel Galileo to run pfSense on.

      Has anyone gotten pfSense to run on a Intel Galileo?

        Doesn't look like a great target to be honest. Minimum ram requirement. Relatively slow CPU. Only one NIC.
        Are there any benchmarks?  How is the NIC connected? Has anyone run FreeBSD on it?

        Edit: Looks like a bigger problem is that it only boots efi and there's no 32bit efi support in FreeBSD currently.

          a bit of a worthless platform, more of a bad x86 rb pi competitor

            I bought a Galileo board at IDF IDF 2014 San Francisco this past September.  It's still in the box.

            A Minnowboard Max and a small VLAN capable switch (or a USB3 Ethernet device) would be pretty cool though.  8)

              The Quark SoC X1000 has two 10/100 MACs on-board, connected (internally) over PCI.  The Galileo board only brings out one of these.

              See Chapter 15 of: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/quark/quark-x1000-datasheet.html
              Schematic is here: http://download.intel.com/support/galileo/sb/galileo_fabh_schem_120514.pdf

              Otherwise, stephenw10 is spot-on.  Slow CPU (400MHz, 32-bit only), minimum RAM (256MB).

                That minnowboard max looks interesting.

                  I like the RAM sink glued on top of the CPU.  Really lets on how low the power consumption is.

                  I can break anything.
