Implement Turris Omnia support (arm32)

[Jakub Jermář]

Implement support for Turris Omnia open-source router.

Details

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.

What Gains and Benefits will this bring?

Turris Omnia would be a good demonstrator for HelenOS to show that HelenOS is capable of a full-fledged routing functionality.

Difficulty
