DEC690 - Hardware specifications?
«
on:

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.

According to
https://shop.opnsense.com/dec600-series-opnsense-desktop-security-appliances/
the DEC690 is using the
Netboard A10 Gen2
and a 4-core CPU with max frequency 1.6Ghz
Looking at
https://www.deciso.com/netboard-a10-gen2/
it seems that's the
Netboard A10 Gen2
-->
CPU Model E
-->
AMD Embedded GX-416RA G-Series SOC (4x 1.65Ghz, L2 cache 2MB, 15W, No GPU)
and it supports AES-NI
