Omega 2 and Arduino dock.

hello guys
i have a similar problem.
with the old firmware i was able to upload sketches on the arduino.
then i made the upgrade and like cusackph i was surprised that everything i've set-up before was gone
i made opkg install arduino-dock
then the Arduino IDE sees the board under the list of boards.i was thinking that i have the ability to upload sketches back as before BUT
now i have an error i never had before on flashing (right after putting the password)i also tried various press on MCU_reset button after password or plugin power off and on again .. but nothing changes
any toughts ?
-
OK my bad.
i installed arduino-dock instead of arduino-dock-2 ...
doing opkg remove arduino-dock and then opkg install arduino-dock-2 makes the flashing work again.the wiki should really inform beginners there are TWO different arduino packages
-
and today this does not work ....
Flashing application '/tmp/sketch.hex' ...
ERROR, flash NOT successful
Flash complete!
avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.avrdude done. Thank you.
-
im starting to be fed-up ....
it worked yesterday with the latest firmware ...
now after i did a factory reset i can't manage to upload any sketch.
neither via Arduino last IDE nor manually.this is what manuel install does with arduino-dock 1st version and arduino-dock 2nd version ...
-
how can avr-dude be "broken" ?
i do "opkg remove" of everything related with arduino (dock1, dock2, avr-dude ..)
i reboot the system.
then i reinstall each of these ( pikcing of course only one of the 2 docks cause they can't be used in the same time, anyway mine is the _2)
i reboot the system just to be sure ...Arduino IDE recognizes the board via WIFI, i can even inout the board PASSWORD ...
but then this damn problem occurs.i suspect it's the communication between the Omega and the ATmega that is going crazy.
What should i do ? should i downgrade to the firmware that had CLOUD registering broken ?
cause with that plugin i COULD ACTUALLY upload sketches.i beg anyone to help, i'm starting to be fed-up with this.

any clue ? (up)

sometime I found my problem related to wifi, and yes, once I put it down it works but when I put it down again it won't work, I have tried not to touch it once it made connection, still works.. I am about 3 metres from the router which is a good distance.

you have the same error as me right ?
i ordered another omega2 on indieGogo .. i hope that wen i receive it i will be able to compare if my 2nd still has the same issue ...
for now i just dont use the Omega and i purchased a RaspberryPi3 to learn meanwhile i have a fix for Avrdude
-
@frederic-raducki I think buying another Omega 2 is a bad idea. I've got a support ticket open over a month ago and have yet to receive a response. It's been "Being Processed" for 31 days now. Giving these guys more money seems like a bad idea until they prove they can sort this stuff out.

@frederic-raducki @rutayan-patro have you ever managed to get around this problem?
I am using arduino-dock (version 1) on Omega2+ and whenever I try to flash the bootloader I get AVR device not responding
I'm using

...root@Omega:~# sh /usr/bin/arduino-dock flash bootloader > Flashing bootloader... avrdude: AVR device not responding avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1 Double check connections and try again, ...Yes, because those connections are really missing on the first version of Arduino Dock.
Arduino Dock 2 has got an ICSP / ISP programming interface.
So you should build something similar circuit to burn a bootloader into the ATmega of a version 1 Dock with Omega2.

Thanks @György-Farkas
I'm new to arduino, so does this mean that I cannot use the arduino-dock (v.1) with Omega2+?
Is there any way to access GPIO pins of Omega2+ through arduino-dock?
-
@Venet
Unfortunately I have never seen - in reality - the version 1 Arduino Dock yet.
The Onion's schematic seems to be correct, except the representation of the reset button (SW2 RESET BTN).So - according to that schematic - if you want to use Arduino Dock v1 with Omega2 you should
- isolate pin_2 of Omega2 labeled 11 (ie. GPIO_11 / BOOTSTRAP_4) from its socket's pin
- connect pin_2 of Omega's socket labeled VDD25 (ie. 2.5 V supply) to 3.3 V
(The "barbaric" solution: cut PCB trace(s) of socket's pin_2 and tie all VDD25 labeled points to 3.3 V with wires.)
I think this is the minimal mandatory modification.
Is this resolvable? Can you do this?
On version 1 dock Omega and the ATmega MCU can communicate via a serial connection and / or via I2C only.
So Arduino can not access Omega's GPIO pins directly.
-
Task 2
connect pin_2 of Omega's socket labeled VDD25 (ie. 2.5 V supply) to 3.3 Vis unnecessary. Omega2's own Net_Power pin (2.5V) pin internally is open-circuit.
This pin's original purpose is to supply DC bias for Ethernet magnetics (transformer) center tap.
For MT7688, it's not needed.ccs_hello

@ccs-hello
You are talking about Omega's pin 25 (NET_POW) on the right hand side.
I am talking about Omega's pin 2 (VDD25) on the left hand side.
In my previous post I only tried to write the very first steps about "How to use the first version of Arduino Dock with Omega2".
See also this schematic please.

re: Arduino Dock v1 with Omega2
Sorry for that Net_Power confusion. My bad.
Omega2's left-side pin 2 is its GPIO11 (I/O),
so the Omega1 dock's pin 2 (which is expecting to receive the 2.5V output from Omega1) will have to be re-routed.Omega2 module does not supply 2.5V output.

@Venet
I hope I'm not too late. For now, do nothing.
First of all let's talk about the necessary and possible modifications.
This v1 Dock with Omega2 project is a lot of work... :thinking: it may not be worth it.
Electronic circuits DIY and soldering practice are needed.
You have a version 1 Arduino Dock. Please let me know:
- What is the SMD marking code of the power supply IC?
- The MCU is an ATMEGA328P AU isn't it?

Even better, Blynk server runs smooth on Omega2 with socat - blynk widgets on the phone could access adruino pins.
Hi, how to install socat - blynk widgets on omega2+?
thanks
