[Work In Progress] OPNsense Ported into ARM Devices

(1/70) > >>

nekoprog:
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.


* OPNsense ARM Images [DOWNLOADS]
* Update Repo, edit /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/OPNsense.conf:
--- Code: ---OPNsense: {
  fingerprints: "/usr/local/etc/pkg/fingerprints/OPNsense",
  url: "http://neko.progr.am/pieSense/${ABI}/19.1/latest",
  signature_type: "NONE",
  mirror_type: "NONE",
  priority: 11,
  enabled: yes
}
--- End code ---

* How to make your own ARM image
--- Code: ---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)

--- End code ---

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

Hi,
sounds very interesting!
Do you know, if your image would work for RPI3, too?

best regards
Dirk

Hi, no. The attached .img was build specific for RPI2. But you can build RPI3 image using opnsense/tools. Franco just recently merged the PR to make the image bootable. But it still not tested yet because I don't own RPI3.

Hope you can test the code, see if it works or not. If not, we can still contribute something to make it work.

I'd be more than happy to help test! I've got several RPI3 boards gathering dust.

If I get some spare time this week and/or next, I'll test on the RPI3.

Fun to see this old topic is still alive! I think I would also prefer raspi 3 as the "old" image in raspi 1 was vvvveerryyyy slow...
