Another odd Omega not booting problem

  • B

    @Harvey-Golob When you say you are doing it over LAN do you mean you are connecting the Omega to your router and trying to flash the Omega from your computer, which is also connected to your router?

    @Boken-Lin Yes.

    @Harvey-Golob Is there anyway you can try Omega to computer direct? Uboot is a very small program, so it doesn't have the dhcp stack built in. Your router typically assigns IP via DHCP. Even though with the setenv command you are setting the static ip of the Omega to 192.168.0.200, it might not be recognized by the router (because the Omega in uboot isn't responding to the router with dhcp protocol).

    @Boken-Lin I was wondering if something like that might be the case. Will setup a laptop with the Tftp server and try...

    @Boken-Lin It's ALIVE....., thanks for the help, I had moved the connection to the laptop yesterday but didn't try tftp on the laptop.
    Reflashed Uboot and httpd to load the latest Omega firmware an its up and running. Now to tackle wifisetupšŸ˜“

    Was going to say make sure your host firewall is turned off on windows as that is generally the biggest problem when hosting stuff on a windows desktop! (Windows firewall normally, obviously turn it back on after, alternitively create a rule to allow ping and tftp through)

    @Boken-Lin Omega seems to run as expected except no wifi, have gone over another post related to no wifi and can't get any response from Omega as far as wifi set up. The following is what I get.

    The last post to https://community.onion.io/topic/135/omega-can-t-connect-to-wifi didn't seem to have resolved similar issues. Any other suggestions?

    @Harvey-Golob If you run a hotspot on your phone, are you able to detect it via the wifisetup command?

    @Harvey-Golob I think I figured out the issue. You also need to flash the ART partition on the Omega. Can you start up httpd from your uboot again, and at the bottom, there should be a link to flash ART. the ART partition binary can be found here: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/onion-downloads/openwrt/art_for_omega.bin.

    @Boken-Lin Flashed ART just now, no change. Also tried hotspot suggestion, scan from Omega still fails. ifconfig only shows lo and eth0. Headed to work now, will check back end of day.

    @Harvey-Golob You will need to do a factory reset after flashing the ART partition. On first boot, the Omega will read from the ART partition and setup its WiFi.

    Sorry about the confusion!

    @Boken-Lin Finally got back to this, started Omega, did factory reset and still no wifi. Just to be sure dropped to Uboot and started httpd and tried to reflash ART. Then did factory reset and no change.

    @Harvey-Golob Can you try reflash both ART and the rootfs partition from uboot?

    @Boken-Lin Reflashed firmware (omega-v0.0.5-b238) and let boot, then restarted and reflashed ART, let it boot and then factory reset, still no change. Missing something?

    @Harvey-Golob Can you connect via serial terminal and copy and paste the dmesg (all the text that flashes before your screen).

    @Harvey-Golob Alright, figured out what your issue is. Apparently the MAC address was erased when you flash the ART partition. Can you boot into uboot, and issue the following command:

    setmac 40:A3:6B:C1:06:C3

    After that, just reboot, and everything should work!

    Cheers!
