  @Zendog It depends on what your goal is! If you just want to have a running Omega2, you can boot into Linux and upgrade to the latest stable firmware. You can follow the First Time Setup using the Command Line guide in the Docs If you're looking to run the beta firmware, you can follow the beta firmware installation guide. Upgrading u-boot is a nice to have imo. Even the oldest bootloader version should support firmware recovery over ethernet. But you can upgrade to the latest available version if you want - not much has changed but it's more stable. Be on the lookout for some bootloader news in the next little while

  @Shimon-Mor No plans to release a new Relay Expansion. Any 3.3V compatible relay will work with the Omega2!

  @crispyoz Oh, okay — so you really did physically fall into a hole and got hurt? Luckily, you managed to get out again! Yes issue is still there but we ignoring it for now and see if later updates will solve it. Most of the time we only need connection to an mobile phone and that is no problem. And for the other issue were continously pinging the AP to keep the connection as a workaround.

  @Patrick-Mischler Does anything show on the console? I mean if you connect the device to the USB on your computer and run a terminal application to receive the output from the Pro, does it show anything at all? Let us know if you are running windo$e or *nix on your computer so we can troubleshoot.

  @eng_Ahmed So this is where you need to do bit of hacking. Since both luci and OnionOS want to use the same directory, we need to backup the /www directory to some place else: cd / mv www www2 Which moves the current www directory and it's content to a new directory named www2. Now force opkg to install luci, ignoring the perceived conflict: opkg --force <luci package name> Now you'll have both packages installed, you just need to configure lighttpd to find luci the www directory and OnionOS in the www2 directory. One thing buzzing around in the back of my head is that I seem to recall (but may be wrong) there was some hardcoded /www references in the OnionOS stuff, so you may need to do the reverse and put OnionOS in /www and Luci in /www2. Just juggle them like this: cd / mv www www3 mv www2 www mv www3 www2 Those directory names are abitrary, you could call them something like www_luci and www_onion you just have to tell lighttpd where to find them.

  @crispyoz Hi again, I'm still new to using the command line and facing some difficulties, so I’d like to use LuCI as a simpler graphical interface — mainly to help me run and manage the OLSR daemon. Is it possible to install and run LuCI on the device without conflicting with Onion OS? Since both use the web interface , will there be any issues or is there a recommended way to make both work side by side? Also, if this is possible, will I lose access to the GPIO pins? Thanks!

  @shoresup Glad you got that sorted, sometimes it just needs a second pair of eyes. We've all been there. Iperf is testing the max performance through the device, but file transfer utilities have several overheads, so for example if I use sftp, we have several steps: read data chunk encrypt data transmit data wait for ack repeat sftp (for example) packet size can impact on performance, depending on your network driver (either wifi/ethernet et al), you may get better performance by tweaking -B parameter on sftp. A simple test I use if ftp, because it removes the overhead of encryption/encoding of sftp. Actually I often use zmodem or modem for my test, maybe because I'm old

  @ElGoose39 Take a look at the 23.05 documentation that has a detailed explanation on how to create your own repository. You could then remove the old version of python and install your own version. This documentation is relevant to the earlier Onion firmware 18.06 as well.

  @baby-Onioneer error 62 is a power issue, try a powered USB hub or a different drive. Since you are using USB power the drive, check your Omega2 is powered sufficiently.
