      Hello All,

      I have a question regarding Hummingboard. Is it possible (supported) to use this board as a pfSense box?

      https://www.solid-run.com/freescale-imx6-family/hummingboard/hummingboard-specifications/

      I'm planning to buy the Pro version with the MicroSom i.MX6 Dual. I know that this board can only do 470 Mbps on the integrated ethernet port but since PCI is availabe I think it is possible to plug in a two-port GBe NIC.

      This board would be perfect for me because ARM-A9 is supporting HW accelerated crypto so IPSEC should not be a problem.

      Thanks!

          Yes it sin´t supported because of the ARM-A9 CPU, there is no ARM fork of pfSense until now.
          But, if you interested in, you could go with a SG-2220 from the pfSense Store. Or with the
          Minnowboard Turbot what is nearly the same as the Hummingboard.
