@SimonPR Digikey just pushed back my back order for some other components yet again, as well. If both Apple and Samsung have to push back on product releases due to chip shortages, you and I are way back in the queue.

I have 40 Omega2S+ on my shelf but I can't launch a new product until I have a few hundred more, so I'm thinking I could put them up for auction

@Nagarjuna-Reddy Thank you, I live in Sydney Australia so we are pretty safe here these days.

Can you give us the details of what process you are following to perform your testing, I think this is pretty much the same question I always have to ask you. It is easier to help when we have all the information in the beginning, instead of having to ask for it.

@haythem search the forum for MCO23017 this is a topic that has been discussed for several years so I am sure you can find something to asist you.

@optech Congratulations.
This was my original advice, because the other methods are really workarounds/hacks/shortcuts. In my experience shortcuts rarely are that.

@optech if you look at the code it doesn't log much at all, regardless of the debug settings.

clean does remove the symlink. This is basically a hack so it's always going to be a pain. This is why my original suggestion was to fork the source and set up your own package so you have control of the code.

@optech I should mention that if all you want to do is turn on the debug options you can just tweak the patch file because this overrides the library.cfg settings. To do this just edit package/feeds/packages/net/lora-gateway-hal/patches/0001-add-cmake-support.patch

Line 126 has the debug options you are looking for, just change the OFF to ON for the required options, then clean and make build again and you'll see the debug options you set are turned on.

SPI_DEV_PATH is set in package/feeds/packages/net/lora-gateway-hal/patches/0002-add-preprocessing-for-SPI_DEV_PATH-and-SPI_SPEED.patch

@optech try this:

make menuconfig
Check "Enable package source tree override" in the "Advanced configuration options (for developers)" menu
exit and save

make package/feeds/packages/lora-gateway-hal/clean V=s
make package/feeds/packages/lora-gateway-hal/prepare USE_SOURCE_DIR=~/lora_gateway-5.0.1 V=s
make package/feeds/packages/lora-gateway-hal/compile V=s

Does Onion have an updated lead time on the Omega2 devices? The latest advice I have seen is "April Timeframe", since it's now May it'd be helpful if we could get an update to assist with planning.

@optech Are you using OpenWrt 18 or 19, your initial message states you are using 18.06 but the directory you refer to is 19. I'll try to duplicate your issue but I want to be sure I am using the correct source pool.
