Omega2S - WiFi not working
-
Hi.
I have a problem with wifi on my Omega2S board. I've successfully got 2 boards up and running, but the third one, when I connected it for the first time, I noticed I couldn't find Omega access point to connect to. Therefore I connected it to serial port to see what is going on.When I ran wifisetup and try to scan Wifi networks, I got an error: Scan Failed, try again. And then it seems the wifi driver just reset.

Board: Onion Omega2 APSoC DRAM: 64 MB
I don't have any Omega2S', so this may not be relevant at all, but that line looks like it belongs to an Omega2 (64MB).
Did you perhaps flash with the O2 firmware by mistake?
-
Well after initial wifi failure I updated firmware from http://repo.onion.io/omega2/images/
So it is O2 image. I don't know if there is any separate repository for O2S. If there is, please let me know.
EDIT: I found this on this forum: "Actually, Omega2S's firmware is the same as for the Omega2 and Omega2S+ has the same firmware as Omega2S+."

Aah, ok.
-
@opti-gregor Yes, there isn't separate firmware repository for Omega2S(+).
I wanted to suggest a Factory Reset and / or a firmware reflash but you have already done it.
Unfortunately I don't have any Omega2S(+) - so I guess.
One of earlier versions of the Warp Core WiFi driver has somewifisetupproblem if there are two "identical" Omega2(+) APs (Omega-ABCD, 192.168.3.1, 12345678 and Omega-WXYZ, 192.168.3.1, 12345678) on the same network. Maybe???
I don't know the current situation.
About that U-Boot message:
This is not related to your WiFi issue.
Does it bother you? It can be corrected quite easily.

Well have updated firmware with this procedure: https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/manual-firmware-installation.html
So I copied last version of FW to usb and then connect usb with O2S and copy FW to /tmp/ and then I ransysupgrade<FIRMWARE FILE NAME>I have also tried to install firmware by pressing Reset button and then selecting option 2, but I was unsucessfull, as once it showed
ERROR: CTL:TIMEOUT X BBB_reset usb_control_msg: request: 0xFF, requesttype: 0x21 value 0x0 index 0x0 length 0x0and other time it started to do an infinite loop with messages

@opti-gregor OK. Presumably there is one (1) Omega2S on your WiFi network - only the problematic one.
If I were you I would try on the Serial Console:-
run these commands (ie. Factory Reset)
firstboot -y
reboot
...
wifisetup -
the
wget http://repo.onion.io.s3.amazonaws.com/omega2/images/omega2-v0.2.2-b201.bincommand does not work so I copy the b201 firmware into the /tmp directory somehow and check it
This is its MD5 hash: c3d57622dd176bd27ae7f6719eea5f1a
cd /tmp
ls -l omega2-v0.2.2-b201.bin

wifisetup
BTW
Do you have a genuine Onion Omega2S Development Kit and try your devices one after another?Or do you have some custom solution for each device?
Q: Is there any short circuit at the ANT pin?
Sorry I have no more idea.
Good luck!

I have tried
firstboot -yprocedure before but there was no difference. Only thing I didn't checked is md5 value. There are also other Omega2S running in the roorm, but I didn't managed even to put this fault one to connect to network and AP wasn't working anyway. Other omegas also have different host names and I have disabled AP on them so they are only connected to router.Anyhow I have now somehow managed to unsolder Omega2S and put new one there. The new one is now working perfectly.
So to answer your questions, I use custom PCB where O2S had been soldered on, and as I have checked I haven't noticed any short.

Each WiFi AP should has different
hostnameSSID and different IP - for example:
Omega-ABCD, 192.168.3.1 and Omega-WXYZ, 192.168.5.1Other omegas also have different host names and I have disabled AP on them so they are only connected to router.
I'm afraid it is not possible with disabled AP on Omega2:
no WiFi AP = no WiFi Station (Client) = no WiFi connection to the router (I think

It is possible, because I'm already sucessfuly doing it and it keeps WifiClient on.
ifconfig ra0 downandifconfig ra0 upto disable and enable AP.I guess there was something wrong internaly in my Omega2S.

I reproduced / confirmed it also on an Omega2+ v0.2.2 b201 successfully.
I think your hack puts Omega2's WiFi subsystem some kind of"in-between""intermediate" state because this state - unfortunately - can not survive the usual/etc/init.d/network restartcommand.The main thing is that it's working fine now ... but one should check the details. As you know - the Devil is in the details.
Good luck!

I now stumbled upon similar case, if not the same with another board. I was able to connect access point of Omega2S and open putty to run commands. After I have run command
wifisetupand select option 1, link with omega broke, and I think it also rebooted. I'm not sure about all circumstances, as I didn't connect via serial port.Then I made conection with O2S again and check
ifconfig.I noticed that there is suspecious eth0.1 interface. So I decided to run command
ifconfig eth0.1 downto disable that interface.
Then I tried to runwifisetupand this time it was succesful! I managed to finish instalation of all needed software and it works like a charm.I can't check if it's the same with one that I had problems with, as it is not on it's board anymore, but for this one it worked.
