Has anybody worked with any of the PC Engines APU2 systems?

oh and 2 USB3.0 ports too.

I use one of these with OPNsense. Works well enough, tho I had an issue installing it from my usb connected flash media drive. That specific version of FreeBSD that OPNsense was based on at the time had an issue with booting from USB 3.0, so I had to boot the install media from the internal USB 2.0 header. Been running for 9 months now without any issues worth mentioning.

Thinking about getting another just for toying around with, but I wish they made something like this that supports PoE, like their older geode-based boards.

How fast is the thing? Can it actually do gigabit on the interfaces?

I'm a little worried about the single core speed

I haven't actually tested if it can. I assume it can, but I guess you'll have some issues if you want encryption.

Been meaning to connect my wireless AP on the third NIC, but I've been putting that off.

Well thanks for the I do anyway anon. You could always get PoE adapters if you need it

Does it still work with Coreboot?

>>59115958
Yeah, it does. AFAIK the entire thing is free as in freedom. Even the schematics are online

Well, as long as you don't expect to route 1Gbps on all ports at once, it's fairly good for the price and TDP. Expect about 800Mb/s per connection and about 400-600Mb/s if all three ports are being used. About 260MB/s if you're using it as an OpenVPN access point with AES-256 on a single connection. It's much better than a RaspPi or any of its clones for not that much more power consumpton.

I know that they use this same exact APU in some of the thin-client computers at my old university, so they're legit as far as light performance goes. Also, 4GB RAM is a bit overkill. I've yet to see more than 1.7GB used on my old ALIX/APU board.
