Hi, I'm the person behind the Ten64. Ten64's have been shipping for a while now, though you are best to ask in our support forum: https://forum.traverse.com.au/ https://forum.traverse.com.au/ . We haven't posted much on Crowd Supply as it's a very manual process to get stuff up on there. I'm not too familiar with TrustZone, but I'm not aware of any limitations in the secure world. I haven't tried OP-TEE or any similar secure world firmware' simply as no one has asked for it. You can see all our firmware components here: https://gitlab.com/traversetech/ls1088firmware https://gitlab.com/traversetech/ls1088firmware

Thanks for posting. Looking to use Arm DRTM, implemented in TrustZone as part of Arm Trusted Firmware. Will follow up in your support forum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZoCtNV8Qs0&t=9080s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZoCtNV8Qs0&t=9080s https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/620e0f9b0ca305732a3a5dcd https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/620e0f9b0ca3057... https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22mb%252Fdrtm-preparatory-patches%22+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged) https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22mb%252Fdrtm-pr...

When we did the research for our network appliance customers, we were very interested in NXP. Have you tried to buy Application Solutions Kit from NXP? We faced the problem of not achieving spec performance using NXP reference boards. After reaching NXP, support informed us that we should buy ASK, which would solve our problems. Unfortunately, it was beyond our research budget.

  No, we haven't bought any ASKs. We have worked with them on a DPDK project and they were quite helpful when it came to debugging difficult bugs with it. Improving the routing performance in Linux is near the top of my TODO list, however. XDP is one candidate (see https://forum.traverse.com.au/t/vyos-build-my-repo/181/5 https://forum.traverse.com.au/t/vyos-build-my-repo/181/5 for some results) and using the LS1088's AIOP is another possibility.

    Linux is important but FreeBSD is the key to heart of majority of DYI firewall builders. I'm huge fan of your project and looking for opportunities to get hands on experience with it. I see that support for FreeBSD going in good direction: https://forum.traverse.com.au/t/freebsd-preview-for-ten64/173 https://forum.traverse.com.au/t/freebsd-preview-for-ten64/17... Are there any performance reports for FreeBSD? Especially VPN/wireguard bandwidth would be interesting.

      dsl (Dmitry) is the main developer behind the DPAA2 drivers for FreeBSD and he's done a fantastic effort so far. Myself and Bjoern (bz) have also written bits of it. The performance has improved compared to how it was a year ago (e.g struggling to get 400mbps throughput) but there are some severe issues in -CURRENT :( I believe dsl is trying to get them fixed by 14.0-RELEASE.
