Here is what I'm confused about: There is no published protocol/spec. It's nominally for radios like LoRa (Semtech) which are programmed with microcontrollers. To run it, you need Python software, or more recently, std Rust, both of which can't be used on the devices that would make sense for the hardware.
Reticulum is not nominally for lora/sx radios. It is designed to operate over any transport from a serial link or infrared to high speed wireless lan or multi-gigabit ethernet.
Sounds like you’re looking for the RNode firmware
I hadn't heard of this. It sounds like then you'd need a dedicated radio co-processor that is just running their firmware. Then, connect to it via [SPI?] to your main MCU or similar.
You can run it on a common board like a Heltec LoRa 32 (can’t remember if it supports v3 or just v2). I played around with it some, but mostly stick with Meshtastic.
