  Hello!
  I would like to know if the Omega2 LTE supports Videotron, a big wireless provider in Quebec, Canada. From, their support, I'm told:

  LTE devices must support Band IV (1700 MHz) in LTE, as well as Band II or V in HSPA (850 MHz/1900 MHz) Non LTE devices must support 1700 MHz / 2100 MHz in HSPA (3G/GSM)

  @Chris-Morgan just update the system yourself:

  #switch to the latest openwrt branch
  git checkout openwrt-18.06

  #cleanup the feeds
  ./scripts/feeds clean
  ./scripts/feeds update -a
  ./scripts/feeds install -a

  sh scripts/onion-feed-setup.sh

  #to create the required .config, create a symlink to the appropriate config file
  ln -s .config.O2 .config

  #you may need to run make menuconfig, then run

  make -j6 V=s

  #personally i prefet to first run make clean before make just to be sure there is no residual rubbish floating around

  This is based on some earlier post by @cas with some addition of my own.

  @luz there are so many flavors of Linux (onion uses musl libraries) that it’s very easy for bugs to slip through the cracks for a specific platform. I’ve run the original code on other platforms using the same kernel version and ostensibly same serial driver, and it works great.

  Anyway, I will plod on.

  I have lost my patience. The Onion Omega 2 card is not a stable product since the default editor software provided does not work. The card cannot be used by professionals who are looking for reliability in embedded software. Too bad, since at the hardware level, the card was interesting.

  The oupgrade -l -f command works well again :-)
  because the https://api.onioniot.com/firmware/device/latest links
  - where the 'device' can be 'omega2 | omega2p | omega2pro | omega2lte' - are right again.
  For example :
  

  Dear @administrators, are the v0.2.2 b200 for Omega2(+), the v0.3.1 b211 for Omega2 Pro and the null (?!) for Omega2 LTE firmwares the so called "stable" versions indeed?

  Thanks for all the feedback in this thread. Based on all of this info, I've concluded that my project is just not economically feasible given the complexities with providing adequate power to 2 onion devices simultaneously. I was hoping to build some kind of audio/video based home monitoring system (using 2 different onion devices -- one w/ a camera, and the other having a USB speaker attached) .. and so far I've calculated an absurd cost of just under $200.00, -- without any kind of enclosure, or guaranteed reliability. And then I came across this cool little gadget, and gave up entirely:

  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076H3SRXG/?coliid=I3876MJVEFPGTV&colid=2VJ3IMF7V6OYG&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

  I'm still quite fascinated by the Onion and am curious about it's possibilities, but I'm certainly not going to re-invent the wheel - and certainly not at 8x the cost !

  Thanks again folks!

  Cheers,

  @Nathan-Guyette Have you ever read the official Onion Omega2 Documentation?

  The default '/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf' is perfect to install any Onion Omega2 packages.

  OmegaExpansion is a directory - for example:
  opkg install pyOnionI2C
  This will install the module to /usr/lib/python2.7/OmegaExpansion/

  To add the Onion I2C Module to your Python program, include the following in your code:
  from OmegaExpansion import onionI2C

  opkg list | grep -i python is a useful command too.

  @Andres-Santos Most compilatoin issues can be resolved using the following steps:

  ./scripts/feeds clean
  ./scripts/feeds update -a
  ./scripts/feeds install -a

  make -j6

  If that fails I will usually make clean before make -j6

  @Andres-Santos
  A more recent set of steps can be found here.
  There's not a huge difference, basically clean the feeds before updating and installing them and symlink to the preferred .config.

  @György-Farkas It is a problem, since my client wants to to turn the AP off when the user is not configuring the IoT device, and other products allow this. The hidden SSID is a work around that is likely to be OK, but is not the proper fix. Even as a hidden SSID, it is still broadcasting and adding an extraneous AP to an already crowded WiFi spectrum.

  I don't understand why this is a limitation? Either driver should provide such a feature. Another project using a Marvell chip has no problem turning of the AP while leaving STA mode operational.
  With the number of inquiries about this request, it seems like a reasonable feature request for a future version of the drivers.

  @peter-garner-0 the first line in the C code of oledDriverInit is:

  onionPrint(ONION_SEVERITY_INFO, "> Initializing display\n");

  So you need vernbosity set to < INFO before calling init.
