-Supermicro A2SDi (Atom C3000)
-=============================
-
-I opted to get one of the new Intel Atom C3000 CPUs to spawn VyOS on it.
-Running VyOS on an UEFI only device is supported as of VyOS release 1.2.

-PC Engines APU4
-================
-
-As this platform seems to be quite common in terms of noise, cost, power and
-performance it makes sense to write a small installation manual.
-
-This guide was developed using an APU4C4 board with the following specs:
-
-* AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC, 1 GHz quad Jaguar core with 64 bit and AES-NI
- support, 32K data + 32K instruction cache per core, shared 2MB L2 cache.
-* 4 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM, with optional ECC support
-* About 6 to 10W of 12V DC power depending on CPU load
-* 2 miniPCI express (one with SIM socket for 3G modem).
-* 4 Gigabit Ethernet channels using Intel i211AT NICs
-
-The board can be powered via 12V from the front or via a 5V onboard connector.
-

--------------
-
-* 1x apu4c4 = 4 i211AT LAN / AMD GX-412TC CPU / 4 GB DRAM / dual SIM
-* 1x Kingston SUV500MS/120G
-* 1x VARIA Group Item 326745 19" dual rack for APU4
-
-The 19" enclosure can accommodate up to two APU4 boards - there is a single and
-dual front cover.

-VyOS 1.2 (crux)
----------------
-
-Depending on the VyOS versions you intend to install there is a difference in
-the serial port settings (:vytask:`T1327`).
-
-Create a bootable USB pendrive using e.g. Rufus_ on a Windows machine.
-
-Connect serial port to a PC through null modem cable (RXD / TXD crossed over).
-Set terminal emulator to 115200 8N1.

-
- vyos login:
-
-You can now proceed with a regular image installation as described in
-:ref:`installation`.
-
-As the APU board itself still used a serial setting of 115200 8N1 it is
-strongly recommended that you change the VyOS serial interface settings after
-your first successful boot.
-
-Use the following command to adjust the :ref:`serial-console` settings:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set system console device ttyS0 speed 115200
-
-.. note:: Once you ``commit`` the above changes access to the serial interface
- is lost until you set your terminal emulator to 115200 8N1 again.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos# show system console
- device ttyS0 {
- speed 115200
- }
-
-VyOS 1.2 (rolling)
-------------------
-
-Installing the rolling release on an APU2 board does not require any change
-on the serial console from your host side as :vytask:`T1327` was successfully
-implemented.
-
-Simply proceed with a regular image installation as described in
-:ref:`installation`.

-Qotom Q355G4
-============
-
-The install on this Q355G4 box is pretty much plug and play. The port numbering
-the OS does might differ from the labels on the outside, but the UEFI firmware
-has a port blink test built in with MAC addresses so you can very quickly
-identify which is which. MAC labels are on the inside as well, and this test
-can be done from VyOS or plain Linux too. Default settings in the UEFI will
-make it boot, but depending on your installation wishes (i.e. storage type,
-boot type, console type) you might want to adjust them. This Qotom company
-seems to be the real OEM/ODM for many other relabelling companies like
-Protectli.
-
-Hardware
---------
-
-There are a number of other options, but they all seem to be close to Intel
-reference designs, with added features like more serial ports, more network
-interfaces and the likes. Because they don't deviate too much from standard
-designs all the hardware is well-supported by mainline. It accepts one LPDDR3
-SO-DIMM, but chances are that if you need more than that, you'll also want
-something even beefier than an i5. There are options for antenna holes, and SIM
-slots, so you could in theory add an LTE/Cell modem (not tested so far).
-
-The chassis is a U-shaped alu extrusion with removable I/O plates and removable
-bottom plate. Cooling is completely passive with a heatsink on the SoC with
-internal and external fins, a flat interface surface, thermal pad on top of
-that, which then directly attaches to the chassis, which has fins as well. It
-comes with mounting hardware and rubber feet, so you could place it like a
-desktop model or mount it on a VESA mount, or even wall mount it with the
-provided mounting plate. The closing plate doubles as internal 2.5" mounting
-place for an HDD or SSD, and comes supplied with a small SATA cable and SATA
-power cable.
-
-Power supply is a 12VDC barrel jack, and included switching power supply, which
-is why SATA power regulation is on-board. Internally it has a NUC-board-style
-on-board 12V input header as well, the molex locking style.
-
-There are WDT options and auto-boot on power enable, which is great for remote
-setups. Firmware is reasonably secure (no backdoors found, BootGuard is enabled
-in enforcement mode, which is good but also means no coreboot option), yet has
-most options available to configure (so it's not locked out like most firmwares
-are).
-
-An external RS232 serial port is available, internally a GPIO header as well.
-It does have Realtek based audio on board for some reason, but you can disable
-that. Booting works on both USB2 and USB3 ports. Switching between serial BIOS
-mode and HDMI BIOS mode depends on what is connected at startup; it goes into
-serial mode if you disconnect HDMI and plug in serial, in all other cases it's
-HDMI mode.
-
-Partaker i5
-===========
-
-.. figure:: ../_static/images/600px-Partaker-i5.jpg
-
-I believe this is actually the same hardware as the Protectli. I purchased it
-in June 2018. It came pre-loaded with pfSense.
-
-`Manufacturer product page <http://www.inctel.com.cn/product/detail/338.html>`_.
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-* Write VyOS ISO to USB drive of some sort
-* Plug in VGA, power, USB keyboard, and USB drive
-* Press "SW" button on the front (this is the power button; I don't know what
- "SW" is supposed to mean).
-* Begin rapidly pressing delete on the keyboard. The boot prompt is very quick,
- but with a few tries you should be able to get into the BIOS.
-* Chipset > South Bridge > USB Configuration: set XHCI to Disabled and USB 2.0
- (EHCI) to Enabled. Without doing this, the USB drive won't boot.
-* Boot to the VyOS installer and install as usual.
-
-Warning the interface labels on my device are backwards; the left-most "LAN4"
-port is eth0 and the right-most "LAN1" port is eth3.

-Acrosser AND-J190N1
-===================
-
-.. figure:: ../_static/images/480px-Acrosser_ANDJ190N1_Front.jpg
-
-.. figure:: ../_static/images/480px-Acrosser_ANDJ190N1_Back.jpg
-
-This microbox network appliance was build to create OpenVPN bridges. It can
-saturate a 100Mbps link. It is a small (serial console only) PC with 6 Gb LAN
-http://www.acrosser.com/upload/AND-J190_J180N1-2.pdf
-
-You may have to add your own RAM and HDD/SSD. There is no VGA connector. But
-Acrosser provides a DB25 adapter for the VGA header on the motherboard (not
-used).
-
-BIOS Settings:
---------------
-
-First thing you want to do is getting a more user friendly console to configure
-BIOS. Default VT100 brings a lot of issues. Configure VT100+ instead.
-
-For practical issues change speed from 115200 to 9600. 9600 is the default
-speed at which both linux kernel and VyOS will reconfigure the serial port
-when loading.
-
-Connect to serial (115200bps). Power on the appliance and press Del in the
-console when requested to enter BIOS settings.
-
-Advanced > Serial Port Console Redirection > Console Redirection Settings:
-
-* Terminal Type : VT100+
-* Bits per second : 9600
-
-Save, reboot and change serial speed to 9600 on your client.
-
-Some options have to be changed for VyOS to boot correctly. With XHCI enabled
-the installer can’t access the USB key. Enable EHCI instead.
-
-Reboot into BIOS, Chipset > South Bridge > USB Configuration:
-
-* Disable XHCI
-* Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Support
-
-Install VyOS:
--------------
-
-Create a VyOS bootable USB key. I used the 64-bit ISO (VyOS 1.1.7) and
-`LinuxLive USB Creator <http://www.linuxliveusb.com/>`_.
-
-I'm not sure if it helps the process but I changed default option to live-serial
-(line “default xxxx”) on the USB key under syslinux/syslinux.cfg.
-
-I connected the key to one black USB port on the back and powered on. The first
-VyOS screen has some readability issues. Press :kbd:`Enter` to continue.
-
-Then VyOS should boot and you can perform the ``install image``
