$91 for a router with a few mb of ram?
with some $20 more you can build a amd 5350 or a Intel j9200 with some 4 port pcie network card and have any os on a fully capable computer, probably using less power than that thing.
- ubercore 11y agoThe hardware offloading (which seems to be missing with OpenBSD) is what makes that a great piece of hardware for the price.
- Scarbutt 11y agoCan you point to the parts on how to build the system you describe for $130?
- ewindisch 11y agoLess power? The j9200 has a TDP of 10W and an average usage of 8W [1]. The entire ERLite unit, not just the CPU, has a maximum power draw of 7W [2] As others have mentioned however, network offloading on these units is the selling point for these machines. It's also a great value for those looking explicitly for a MIPS or big-endian arch.
