IIRC, people are running OpenBSD on it but earlier BIOS versions had issues. Current batches should be OK.

I have a apu1c4 purchased a number of months ago for database testing. PC Engines recommends either the black or red cases because of heat issues, & red is what I used as I already had a few. I fully populated the APU with 64GB mSATA & 64GB SD cards, along with an ath(4) wireless card + antennae. Thus far, it has performed as expected.
Of note, there were BIOS issues mentioned on misc@ at the time, but I requested the new BIOS when ordering from PC Engines (at that time, no one else has the 4GB model yet...), & I have had no issue installing -current through PXE: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=139676692718065&w=2 It does appear to perform better than the older Alix series, but I haven't pushed it, or performed any benchmarking. As for serving as a media center, I don't know your exact needs, but it should be a worthy alternative. Last edited by ocicat; 9th September 2014 at 09:45 PM. Reason: clarity |

Picked one of these up for a home router project. Seems to be working well. Still hacking though all the configuration I want to do and I'll start pushing more data through it to see how it handles.
First time using pf and I haven't set up a *nix-like based router in 12 years or so when the distros were on floppies. I also want it to host some services instead of running a dedicated server. Trying to keep my continuous power requirements down. Not sure how it would work as a media center unless you have network storage and your tv can read streams off of ethernet. At that point, what's the APU contributing? Tim. |
