What is a good cheap 2 ethernet port SBC
I am looking for a cheap SBC with two switched Ethernet ports for a network device project. It is incredible how rare SBCs that have just two Ethernet ports (without a kitchen sink of other stuff) are.
- weinzierl 9y agoThe fli4l community looked into different options and I have heard they often use ALIX boards[2] with up to three ethernet ports.

- jlgaddis 9y agoYep, I can vouch for the pcengines boards.
- chrodobert 9y agoI have experience with PC engines boards in the past. They are good quality but the price is about 5 times what I am looking for, e.g. something about $20-30 to build a competitive network appliance with.
- tga 9y agoAs far as I know, OpenBSD is supported[1] on Ubiquiti EdgeRouters[2]. Depending on what you need, a readily available appliance at a reasonable price (~$100) might even be better than just a SBC.

- nbernard 9y agoI'm not sure about "good", but for "cheap" take a look at the Orange Pi R1: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-R1-H2-256MB-Quad-Core-Cortex-A7-Open-source-development-board-beyond-Raspberry-Pi/1553371_32827494728.html https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-R1-H2-256... http://www.orangepi.org/OrangePiR1/ http://www.orangepi.org/OrangePiR1/
