OPNsense aarch64 firmware repository

Hi Maurice

First off, wonderful work. In the name of everyone else who doesn't say it: thank you!

Before I spend some money (not a lot) on a Watchguard Firebox T80, I wonder if  this unofficial ARM release would even run on it.
As far as I can find, the T80 specs are:
Processor NXP LS1046A 1.2GHz (a 4 core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A72)
Memory: DDR4 4 GB

I don't have experience with OPNsense, but I'm here because I want to try it obviously. I'm wondering how it will perform with 4GB of memory. I would not use it in a heavy setting. Just some basic home use with VPN and monitoring/blocking tools. I'm also curious if OPNsense will be able to support all ethernet ports including providing power to the two PoE ports.

I respect that you may not have the answer to all questions. As long as I would get a good indication that it would run, I'm willing to give it a try and provide as good feedback as possible. I like the relatively small form factor and the fact that there aren't any annoying fans :)

Please be aware that this little project is about OPNsense aarch64 sets and packages (as well as VM images), not about hardware-specific / bare-metal images.

As a first step, you'll have to do your own research about booting a general-purpose OS (BSD, Linux) on this appliance. If such a project exists or you figure it out yourself, then running OPNsense might be possible.

4 GB RAM is sufficient, I maintain some OPNsense systems with 2 GB or less for small setups.

Understood. I will check around for that first, thank you for the advice Maurice!
