OPNsense aarch64 firmware repository

@neel You mean a bootable USB image with the interactive installer? You should be able to build this with the official github.com/opnsense/tools. Have you tried that?
If you don't want to build everything from scratch, you can prefetch the sets from my repo (see first post).

We've also recently added aarch64 support to opnsense-bootstrap, so another option is to install FreeBSD 14.3 first (using one of their official images) and then convert it to OPNsense.


(Update 25.7.9 is in work.)

Having some build issues with 25.7.9 after switching to my own fork of opnsense/core in 25.7.8. Stand by, I'll figure it out.

@franco No opnsense-update 25.7.9 with removed "pin" feature? Patching that locally on my build system is a bit of a pita...

[Maurice]

OPNsense 25.7.9 aarch64 packages and sets released. Includes ndp-proxy-go 0.3.0.

@neel I had a look: You currently can't build USB installer images (make serial / make vga) on aarch64. The build script wants to add a protective MBR to the image, but this only exists on amd64.

But building an iso image (make dvd) is possible, this has explicitly been enabled for aarch64.
