This section covers firmware, deployment tooling, and mobile installation methods — everything to do with getting Reticulum onto a device.

• Custom Firmware

• Deployment Tools

• Mobile & Alternative Installation Methods

Firmware specifically built or modified to run Reticulum (or parts of it) directly on embedded hardware.

• microReticulum Firmware – Experimental firmware for RNode devices with an embedded Reticulum Transport Instance.

• MeshScale Firmware – Firmware for Arduino-supported devices implementing the Reticulum network stack.

• RNS Gate – Standalone gateway and routing device for the Reticulum Network Stack.

• Hearth – Linux-first control plane for deploying and operating personal Reticulum transport nodes.

• Pyxis – LXMF and LXST client firmware for the LILYGO T-Deck.

• rsDeck – Standalone Reticulum firmware for the LILYGO T-Deck.

• rsCardputer – Two-mode Reticulum handheld for the Cardputer Adv (standalone messenger or RNode).

• csCardputer – Security-focused standalone LXMF firmware with encrypted storage, duress password, and auto-lock.

• CYD Nomad – Standalone Reticulum client for the Cheap Yellow Display (CYD).

• Thicket Firmware - Standalone Reticulum/LXMF handheld firmware targeting nRF52840 (RAK4631).

• RTNode-HeltecV4 – LoRa ↔ Wi-Fi transport node firmware for the Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V4.

• RTNode-2400 – Fork supporting additional hardware.

• Reticulum + ATAK + Project Tango – Experimental integration with ATAK, Project Tango, CoT bridging, and off-grid situational awareness.

Tools that help with installing, configuring, or mass-deploying Reticulum (especially on single-board computers or in bulk).

Get one device up and running with minimal effort.

• RNode Flasher – Web-based firmware flasher for RNode devices.

• Reticulum OS - A plug-and-play Raspberry Pi OS image for building independent, off-grid mesh networks using the Reticulum Network Stack. Built on Debian 13, this image gets you up and running with minimal configuration.

• RNSD Pi – A simple script to install rnsd on a Raspberry Pi and configure it for LoRa using a Reticulum RNode device.

• Mesh Box – Documentation and Files for building a Mesh Network Node based on a Banana Pi Zero and Reticulum Stack.

• NOEMA RNSGate — Home Assistant Integration– Full-featured Reticulum gateway with LoRa (RNode), LXMF ↔ MQTT/Home Assistant bridge, built-in P2P chat, I2P, Nomadnet node + page editor, rBrowser, and a modern web management dashboard. One-command install on Debian/Ubuntu.

Deploying many nodes at once, or bootstrapping a whole community's infrastructure.

• RETCON – Streamlined Raspberry Pi SD card image deployment tool for Reticulum meshes. Makes large-scale or repeatable deployments easy.

• [1] – Kairos is deployment toolkit for Reticulum mesh networks. Automates the boring stuff of standing up a Reticulum VPS/RNode/Client

• Haven MANET IP Mesh Radio – Complete solution for building decentralized, long-range IP mesh networks using Reticulum.

Installing via an existing operating system's own package or ports system, rather than a standalone image or script.

• OpenWrt Reticulum Feed – OpenWrt packages for Reticulum and related tools.

• Akita Reticulum Master Node for OpenBSD – A robust, integrated Reticulum Network Stack (RNS) deployment for OpenBSD.

Scripts and toolkits aimed at a specific node role or at Reticulum development itself, rather than general deployment.

• Rathole-py – Security suite + transport node for Reticulum - Makes running a home gateway easy and private.

• ReticulumTools – Reticulum Script & Tools to help installing and configure RNS suite packages.
