as you may have heard, we are working on the next generation of Turris router - Turris Omnia NG. It took us quite some time, but we are getting there and the public launch of this new product is being worked on. We already spoke about various aspects of the device on several events including the technical specification. We are now preparing communication around it and we will start spreading the information around. Main message that you will see around starting today is about spreading the word that it is coming “soon” and that it is a good idea to subscribe to our newsletter if you are not subscribed already and follow us on social networks to be among the first ones to know the details as we will share them. Currently, we will not share much beside that and you already know much more. At the moment, we don’t want to disclose neither the launch date nor the final price yet.
We wanted to share it first here, before you start seeing various posts about the new device on our website and social media. You know it’s coming, but there is still plenty of people that doesn’t know
At a recent talk about Turris at FossNorth2025: Our path to open-source routers it was revealed TurrisOmniaNG is limited to 2GB of RAM due to limitations of the SoC.
For me? Not at all. I posted only because it seems to be new information regarding this router.
From the way it was worded in the talk, “Unfortunately only 2 gigs of RAM”, tells me the developers of Turris maybe hoped or planned for upgradable RAM. And I believe several users of this forum had this on their wish lists of features.
For my specific use case it is a big miss. On my x86 atom router with openwrt, I have a raid5 and it runs docker with 4 containers, amule, shinobi (recording), home assistant, nexcloud.
I wanted to switch to turris to have a product that I do not have to update by hand and have “certified” updates, but if it is confirmed it is a big disappointment for me.
since the macciatobin shipped with that SoC with 16GB of RAM back in 2017, there is zero chance it’s that SoC. Also the CN913x/A8040 have had mainline linux support since 2020.
If i remember correctly, it was released even before the turris omnia shipped at almost the same price. i was quite bummed i already backed the omnia. but the omnia has had it’s advantages (mostly autoupdate)
