Title: Arm Cortex-A15
Post by: jaarsa on December 12, 2017, 01:48:09 pm

Hi!

I have a CheckPoint Appliance 1490, with Arm chipset, and would like to run another firewall on it, since it's missing a couple of features that I need.

I've been searching around the net for support of Cortex-A15, and found one place in the code where it was mentioned. Probably an old build, since it's back in 2015.
https://github.com/lattera/opnsense-src/blob/master/sys/arm/arm/gic.c

Does this mean that this cpu i supported, or will be supported in the future?
Can anyone point me to a build that have support for this cpu (if it exist)? :)

Thx.

Divergence in ARM is wider than in x86. Probably your best starting point would be to get FreeBSD running on it.
