Introduction

Device : http://routerboard.com/RB493G
Mission : Install FreeBSD on it to run it as home router.
Reason : a) Energy consumption vs Performance: Low powered high specs device. b) Getting FreeBSD to run on MIPS based devices. c) Work with large amount of Ethernet ports.

Tech

AR7161 MIPS 24k (mips32r2) 680MHz PCI, GMII/RGMII/MII (GigE), UART, USB 2.0, PCM, I2S
