-I recently purchased a new PC Engines APU2E4 to use as a home
-router. I purchased the kit, which includes the board, case, and power
-supply from https://corpshadow.biz/. I also ordered the DB9F to USB
-adapter (Silicon Labs CP2104), so I don't need to get a separate null
-modem connector.  They're the only PC Engines distributor in Canada
-listed on the PC Engines website. I had a great experience with
-CorpShadow, they also sell a lot of other small single board PCs, so
-check them out if you live in Canada.
-
-I also ordered a 128 GB mSATA SSD, as it significantly out-performs
-any SD card you might put in the machine. While it's not necessary,
-and an SD card would be much cheaper, I find the improved read and
-write speeds are worth it. I got it from Canada Computers, as they
-seemed to have the best price on one. mSATA SSDs are surprisingly not
-as common as one might think on PC parts websites. And even when they
-have one, I've found most sites will only carry one brand.
-
-The first step was to install the heat sync onto the CPU. This is
-described on the PC Engines website. The heat sync is effectively just
-a block of aluminum that you use to thermally bridge the CPU to the
-enclosure. They're connected with, what I assume is, thermally
-conductive double sided tape, which they provide for you.
-
-After the CPU is stuck to the enclosure using the tape and the board
-is screwed in place, I installed the mSATA SSD into the first
-expansion slot labelled =mSATA=. Then I screwed the top of the case
-on, plugged the antenna holes with the provided rubber stoppers, and
-screwed the bolts back on the RS232 port. These things are really easy
-to put together!
-
-I downloaded the AMD64 =installXX.fs= image from the OpenBSD website and
-burned it onto a spare USB drive I had lying around using =dd=. After
-that I inserted the drive into the USB port on the APU2.
-
-I then plugged one end of the DB9F end of the serial adapter into the
-APU2, and the USB end into my PC. My desktop runs Fedora, so I had to
-install the =cu= utility using =sudo dnf install cu=. I then dialed it
-up using the serial adapter with the command =sudo cu -s 115200 -l
-/dev/ttyUSB0=.
-
-I plugged in the power connector into the APU2, and I saw the boot
-info in my terminal! It's really cool that these things use SeaBIOS
-and Coreboot.
-
-It automatically booted from the USB device, and I got dropped into
-the OpenBSD =boot>= prompt. Instead of pressing enter like normal, I
-entered
-#+BEGIN_SRC
-boot> stty com0 115200
-boot> set tty com0
-#+END_SRC
-
-The first command sets the baud rate for the serial connection. The
-second command tells the OpenBSD installer to set the default TTY to
-the serial port =COM0=. Without these, the machine will start to boot,
-fail to find an output, and reboot.
-
-After that the installation went along as a normal install would. I
-wasn't connected to the internet, but I already knew what IP was
-assigning it, so I entered that manually when asked. I also installed
-the sets from the USB. To do that, when prompted for the location of
-the sets, type =disk=, when asked if it's already mounted type =no=,
-then select the default partition and path, and continue without
-signature. The signature isn't required since it's part of the install
-media (assuming you verified the signature of the install media).
-
-After the install was done, I moved it to where I will be leaving it
-to run, plugged in the power and ethernet, and SSH'd in. At that point
-I ran [[https://man.openbsd.org/fw_update][=fw_update(1)=]] to pull in any extra firmware I might need, and
-[[https://man.openbsd.org/syspatch][=syspatch(8)=]] to keep myself up to date with security patches. I was also
-sure to add my user to the [[https://man.openbsd.org/doas.conf][=doas.conf(5)=]] config file.
-
-I kept the serial adapter connected and plugged it into another
-machine I have right next to it, so if I ever have any trouble
-booting, I can always SSH into the other machine and dial into the
-serial connector to work things out without having to physically plug
-the APU2 into my laptop.
-
-Finally I added the OpenBSD sticker!
