Maybe I can help. I run OPNsense on a Sophos SG330rev1 and I got my LCD screen working with lcdproc. Use the following config:

[server]
DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/
Driver=hd44780
Bind=127.0.0.1
Port=13666
ReportToSyslog=yes
User=nobody
Foreground=no
Hello="  Welcome to"
Hello="   OPNsense!"
GoodBye="Thanks for using"
GoodBye="   OPNsense!"
WaitTime=5
TitleSpeed=5
ServerScreen=on
Backlight=open
ToggleRotateKey=Enter
PrevScreenKey=Up
NextScreenKey=Down

[menu]
MenuKey=Escape
EnterKey=Enter
UpKey=Up

[hd44780]
ConnectionType=ezio
Device=/dev/cuau1
Keypad=yes
Size=16x2
KeyMatrix_4_1=Enter
KeyMatrix_4_2=Up
KeyMatrix_4_3=Down
KeyMatrix_4_4=Escape


You may have to change a few things, especially under the hd44780-section, but this should give you a start for getting the LCD panel to work.

Hello Maestro86,

I have the same setup as you. The LCD is working fine but i can't get the disk stats to show. It's disabled in the config file but it still shows up when i reboot. If you have a idea to disable it or get it going would be great.

I have the same hardware also.

Regards Ronald.

Good day gentleman! Glad to find users with Sophos hardware here. I have an old Sophos XG85W lying around, with a Intel Atom Baytrail Dual Core (1.33 GHz), 2GB RAM, 8GB ROM. I'm just wondering:

1. Can I install OPNSense on this? Is there any special steps/process to handle during the installation?

2. with 5-7 users, around 12-15 devices, is OPNSense able to handle 1Gbps fiber WAN speed? How about 500Mbps?

3. Any other special thing to take note during the installation/configuration?

Thank you very much for any tips/advice. Wish everyone safe and well!
