## Create RNodes
This section contains the tools and guides necessary to create more RNodes. Creating any number of RNodes is **completely free and unrestricted** for all personal, non-commercial and humanitarian purposes. If doing so provides value to you or your community, you are encouraged to [contribute](./contribute.html) whatever you find to be reasonable.
In addition, you are very much **encouraged** to create RNodes for sale or commercial purposes. Doing so requires buying a copy of the RNode Firmware for each unit produced for commercial purposes. Please read the [selling RNodes]({ASSET_PATH}sell_rnodes.html) section for more details.
If you want to create RNodes for sale or commercial purposes, please read the [selling RNodes]({ASSET_PATH}sell_rnodes.html) section for more details.
### Firmware Source Code
If you would like to inspect or compile the RNode Firmware source code yourself, you can download a copy of the [RNode Firmware source-code]({ASSET_PATH}pkg/rnode_firmware.zip) stored in this RNode.

## A Self-Replicating System
If you notice the presence of a circularity in the naming of the system as a whole, and the physical devices, it is no coincidence. Every RNode contains the seeds necessary to reproduce the system, the [RNode Bootstrap Console](/rnode_bootstrap_console), which is hosted locally on every RNode, and can be activated and accesses at any time - no Internet required.

The designs, guides and software stored within allows users to create more RNodes, and even to bootstrap entire communications networks, completely independently of existing infrastructure, or in situations where infrastructure has become unreliable or is broken.

Every RNode also includes an internal copy of it's own firmware source code, that can be downloaded through the [RNode Bootstrap Console](https://unsigned.io/rnode_bootstrap_console), by putting the RNode into Console Mode (which can be activated by pressing the reset button two times within two seconds).
