Hardware and Performance / DEC690 - Hardware specifications?

« on: June 23, 2021, 12:31:03 pm »

Hello,

I am coming from a Qotom with a Celeron J1900 (1.9 GHz, 8GB of RAM, 100GB of disk).
It has served me well for years but it does not support AES-NI so upgrades will get complicated in the future (they already are).

I am considering a DC690 because it would support a great Open-Source project and as a bonus, it is based in the European Union (and so do I).

However, I miss some details on the hardware specifications that I cannot find on the webshop.

• What is the actual processor model it is using? I understand that it is a quad-core 1.6 GHz AMD G-Series SOC but which generation is it? Also, it seems like the processor will be a small downgrade compared to my current J1900.
• What BIOS is it running? Please be Coreboot or Libreboot 
• What is this Console port? Micro-HDMI?

It is for home-use and research (I am working in cyber-security). I plan to use it as firewall (home traffic), router, client-to-site VPN (very low traffic), site-to-site VPN (potentially) and IDS.

Thanks in advance.
