@mstar I'll be available within a few days. Can indeed pass along my CV and a description of O2 work completed. Please advise if you'd like to exchange contact info.

There are now at least 6 distincs thread for this exact same topic. A moderator should have closed your question as a duplicate and/or you should have used the search function.

See:

A bad firmware will not prevent the MT7688 chip from producing serial output on initial boot. If you trigger a reset while connected, you should at least see something.

You may want to attempt a USB recovery in U-Boot.

@Vijaya-Sekhar-Gullapalli said in Cannot connect to Wifi to setup Omega2 Plus (Unmatched double quote ?):

I do not have any quotes or double quotes in my router password. Do I still need to change it?

Maybe your network name should be double quoted when you enter into wifisetup "TN_private_WWUJ94" - especially if there are SPACEs instead of UNDERSCOREs (or maybe your password "**********" ;-).

@Jackdaw

I'd like a full onion repo with all the packages built and usable for each release of Onion OS, without having to fetch them from another LEDE or OpenWRT based repos and thus creating dependency issues on my omegas.

Mixing repositories doesn't lend itself to a stable environment.

@Luciano-S
@WereCatf told here that the devs of the Omega2 forgot to enable CONFIG_DEVMEM in the newer firmware. The last working one is 0.1.6 b137
So my guess is that it is fixed in the next release if it is indeed just a forgotten flag.

Okay good to know that thanks for the Information.
Going to play around and learn about this custom image stuff with my second om2
I guess.

Interesting. I was able to connect using wifi-menu vs. wicd. I guess I'm a happy camper now, though still confused!

Some sample code for driving the MAX7219 from the Arduino can be found at

@Kit-Bishop just bought this MAX7219EWG module and was able to drive it using Arduino (using the LedControl library). Now planning to play around with it using your library. Need help to check if the below table wiring is correct (not sure about the CS)

LED Matrix <----> Omega

VCC <---> 5V
GND <----> GND
DIN <-----> 6
CLK <-----> 7
CS <-----> ??

Hi @simon-jones you mentioned that you are using a Power Dock? The Power Dock does not include a USB-to-Serial chip meaning that you will not be able to connect via serial, as mentioned in the Power Dock wiki. Please use SSH instead.

@Luciano-S. merged into the Get Started page, thanks! :)

Maybe search under OpenWrt? There's documentation, wiki and forums at their website.

Yep, @fader has all the right info. If you're using OS X or Linux, I like to use rsync to transfer files back and forth.

If you're on the latest Omega firmware, the /root folder should be preserved. (The changes to the sysupgrade.conf file that @Daniel-Sitnik mentioned were added a little while back)

@Boken-Lin Yes, everything is working as it should now! I turned my Onion Omega into a car backup camera system and it is awesome! Thank you for the help.
