Hardware and Performance / [Work In Progress] OPNsense Ported into ARM Devices

« on: March 25, 2019, 11:55:58 am »

Hello, I would like to say thank you to OPNsense developers for creating this awesome firewall. I would like to mention that OPNsense is working great on Raspberry Pi 2, using image created by opnsense/tools with the latest PR. The only problem is that there is no repo for updates or installing plugins. Other than that it works just like on x86/64 hardware. I also tried UnboundBL plugin and it works too. I hope that plugin will go official any time soon.

If anyone ask why use RPI2 because it only has one LAN port, I would say that it doesn't matter because I use Netgear Aircard 320U for WWAN and use LAN port with D-Link DAP-1360 wifi AP.

With this as proof of concept, I hope other users/contributors/developers can use the template on opnsense/tools to port OPNsense to other ARM devices.

How to make your own ARM image

Code: [Select]

Minimum required build system:
64bit multicore processor, 4GB RAM and 25GB disk space.

Supported 32-bit ARM devices (arm:armv6):
1. Banana Pi (bpi)
2. Raspberry Pi2 (rpi2)


Supported 64-bit ARM devices (arm64:aarch64):
1. NanoPi NEO2 (nanopi-neo2)
2. Orange Pi PC2 (orangepi-pc2)
3. Raspberry Pi3 (rpi3)


Build steps:
# pkg install git
# cd /usr
# git clone https://github.com/opnsense/tools
# cd tools
# make update
# make xtools base kernel packages arm-3G DEVICE=(product-device)

Everyone is invited to share ideas and help with porting ARM devices using the device config templates on OPNsense/tools.

Wishlist (Needs uboot slave file in ports to make it work)
