Hi
I am a noob/novice/beginner with APU2 and I have a stupid question: I just bought one to use it as a firewall however I need to install and configure software (probably pfsense). I do not know how to link it to a monitor. Any help from the experts?
Please have mercy and do not throw rotten eggs at me.
Thank you
You don’t connect a monitor to it.
It has a console port which uses a serial connection. Normally, those are rs232 and accessed using some sort of terminal application like minicom or hyperterm.
There are rs232-to-usb adapters today. You probably need one of those to connect to your main linux system. A raspberry pi will work or amd/intel/via x86 Linux or other BSD system. Don’t have a clue how to do it from Windows or OSX, but it certainly can be done from either, with the correct hardware. Sorry.
38000 baud with 8N1 is a normal connection.
Hopefully someone will correct anything I got wrong, quickly.
Thank you JD. I will look into it. One PC Engines site they say to use a PC to connect the APU2 to. I only have an old MacBook. I will see what I can do.
I appreciate you trying to help
You need to get yourself a USB/Serial Converter (should be be only a couple of bucks) and a serial null modem / crossover cable.
Then you need a serial console program (not sure about MacOS – this link http://pbxbook.com/other/mac-ser.html looks helpful) to connect to your APU. Connection speed is 115200.
I setup an APU2 (4G, Intel NICs) between 2 systems which normally test (simple iperf) with 920Mbps between them.
With NAT and an almost stock pfsense v2.3.x, iperf between them was 514Mbps on average. That’s with only the default firewall rules, NAT, and just the WAN and LAN interfaces configured. IPv4.
Real world scp transfers between the same systems for a 2G file averaged about 350-ish Mbps with the router between. SSDs on both sides of the storage. Without the router in the middle, I recall getting about 650Mbps file transfers.
A friend with a GigE internet connection is claiming the same model with pfsense providing 800Mbps on “SpeedTest.”
The only possible difference between his setup and mine is that my storage is class10 SDHC. Don’t know what he has.
Any idea what linux kernel module to use for the hardware watchdog in APU2?
The benchmark *I’d* like to see is how fast the APU2 vs APU1 are at pfSense routing … first, simple gigE NAT, and second, openVPN over gigE.
Hello,
Interesting bench. Is it possible to run another round but without all files or filesystems I/O bound tests?
Sure, just send me a working UnixBench command line with the tests you want me to include.
Cheers,
Jan
