Product Manual, SG-1000
2.3 Is the CPU temperature too high?
Initial builds of the SG-1000 displayed temperature output from an inaccurate sensor, which could be off by as much
as 10.8 C (50 F), high or low. This sensor was not intended to be used by end-users, only for factory and test
measurements. We had hoped it would be accurate enough to be useful, but it was not. Due to the unreliable nature of
the sensor, the temperature output is not displayed in current builds.
The SG-1000 is passively cooled (no fans) and it will be warm to the touch. The firewall must be placed so it has
adequate room for air to flow around the case.
2.4 What should my speed test results be?
We are continually improving the drivers and making other optimizations to increase the speed of the SG-1000. With
a basic firewall setup we have shown it can pass around
130Mbit/s
. In other conditions, the speed may be higher or
lower depending on the firewall configuration, enabled features, environment and testing methods.
2.5 Is booting from USB OTG supported?
Yes, provided that the eMMC contains a pfSense operating system image from
December 29th, 2016
or later. After
that date, the OS contains an updated U-Boot environment which is capable of booting from the USB OTG port.
If the eMMC is completely blank/empty, the SG-1000 cannot boot from the USB OTG port and must be booted from
the SD card socket.
2.6 What packages are available?
Nearly all packages available for pfSense are available for the SG-1000! There are a few packages that are unable to
run on the SG-1000, however. These packages either have requirements that exceed the specification of the SG-1000
or they do not currently compile for the architecture used by the SG-1000 (armv6).
As of
January 5th, 2016
the list of available packages on an SG-1000 is:
• apcupsd
• arping
• AutoConfigBackup
• Avahi
• aws-wizard
• Backup
• bind
• cellular
• Cron
• darkstat
• FTP_Client_Proxy
• haproxy
