@DocHardinger No response to my email so far. As an open source product they can just walk away. I don't know that they have, but they can.

@javadesigner You have there an Omega2Pro, this device uses the Omega2S+ SoC on a board that also incorporates additional 8K storage LiPO etc.

The LED behaviour you report is a known behaviour of this device, you need to update u-boot to version 1.1.3 or above. Here is the documentation on how to do this.

@matiaslao I don't know that the dissolution impacts on 2028 availability, perhaps it's just a reorganisation. I want clarity myself as it impacts my own planning. This is why I think @Zheng-Han needs to provide some form of statement.

Availability may just mean that if someone orders 500 units then they'll do a production run, I have no idea.

As my current work is on hold it's pushed my own planning out by about a year, so this is a concern for me. I think the uncertainty could be a killer.

I'll email Zheng directly and see what response I receive.

@DocHardinger The build system wrapper can build OWRT 24 including p44-ledchain. Some months ago (April) I merged some of the Onion patches from OWRT 23 into my 24 build and ended up with a working 24 system. I recall I was working on migrating some patches related to the DTS overlays as I want to use the SPI overlay stuff.

@matiaslao Unfortunately I'm voice typing this right now due to lack of hands otherwise I certainly would. I don't work for Onion just use their products in my products. @Zheng-Han (CEO) hasn't been online since July and @Lazar-Demin is no longer with Onion. Interestingly I note Onion Corporation was dissolved 30th April 2025.

Since this is an opensource product they have no requirement to support the product, but I think it would be nice if @Zheng-Han provided some sort of statement to users especially in light of the statement that Omega2 is going to be available until 2028

Perhaps another member can test, @luz may be able to assist.

@matiaslao Unfortunately I can't test myself due to lack of hands, one of the Onion guys will need to. @Lazar-Demin77 is no longer with Onion so I guess it is up to @Zheng-Han

@DocHardinger 24.10 do work on Omega2 it will depend on what specific packaged you need. p44-ledchain works on 24.10, I made a patch @luz has merged.

@matiaslao Apologies, I currently am recovering from 2 broken wrists so I'm a bit slow. My guess is that you're getting bitten by an addressing mismatch so the flash is in 4 byte mode when the cpu is booting in 3 byte mode.

Have a look at the docs related to special pins here it explains requirements for HW_RST_N

@magouero opkg is not particularly sophisticated which is why OpenWrt are changing over to APK package manager. I would do it this way:

opkg remove python3 --force-removal-of-dependent-packages
opkg remove python --force-removal-of-dependent-packages

Then opkg list 'python' to see if there is anything left to clean up. See the docs https://documentation.onioniot.com/packages/opkg-package-manager ```

@matiaslao Before I try this myself can you clarify "bricked" please, can you still boot into u-boot and reflash the firmware or is the device unusable? Perhaps post the boot up log screen.
