Xeon D-1540 Support

[Will Green]

Hello,

Has anyone had any success running FreeBSD 10.1 on the Xeon D-1540 [1]? It’s a 8-core Broadwell-based Xeon SOC with integrated GigE or 10GigE.

The combination of low power and support for 128 GB of ram makes them quite attractive. An example motherboard with this CPU is the Supermicro X10SDV-F [2]. The Supermicro web site shows support for FreeBSD 10.1 [3], but I haven’t seen any use in the wild. I will try to get hold of a board to test, but any advance information on support would be useful.

Thanks,
Will
