[Cerowrt-devel] trying a pcengines box

[Dave Taht]

I have it built and running 16.04 off of the msata card now. :woot:

last major trick - always install openssl-server before rebooting.

(I haven't figured out how to make systemd do a serial console either, yet).

I am running tests continuously overnight... I imagine I should
configure lm-sensors for it? irqbalance?

running cake on it without shaping eats 100% of cpu (1/4th of cpu)
shaping two ports to 900mbit ate about half but  misbehaved. (never
got close to 900mbit)
