    33 Details::
    4   Turris Omnia is a open-hardware router for home use. It features dual-core ARM CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and 5 LAN ports. The machine is well documented and can be used as a model hardware for the network usability of HelenOS. Turris Omnia offers a lot of functionality (including USB, !WiFi or SIM card slot) thus a complete support would require more than 3 monts but basic functionality is within the reach of a single trimester work.

     6  HelenOS supports the ARMv7-A architecture, including the Cortext-A8  processor, but has not yet been ported to a Cortex-A9 processor used by Turris Omnia. This project will therefore require some kernel and platform code modifications.
