How to copy new OpenWRT binary build to onion omega2?



  • Hi,

    I did a fresh build of OpenWRT from the source, now im trying to flash the binary file to the board.

    To do that i first tried copying the binary build using SCP command from the host to the tmp directory on OpenWRT like this

    root@omega:/tmp# scp user@192.168.1.2:omega-squashfs-xxx.bin .

    scp keeps failing with an error:
    Connection to user xxxx exited: no matching also hostkey

    Doesnt SCP work on Onion Omega?

    Im basically trying to flash a new image to the onion omega2 hardware



  • If scp fails, run some simple HTTP server on your computer.
    I use Node or Python server included in their standard libraries.
    For example, if you have sysupgrade.bin file under path/to/your/binary/file/sysupgrade.bin

    $ cd path/to/your/binary/file
    $ python3 -m http.server
    Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...
    

    Let's say your computer's IP address is 192.168.0.33 and it's in under the same router with your Omega2.
    On your Omega2 terminal, fetch it like this.

    # cd /tmp
    # wget http://192.168.0.33/sysupgrade.bin
    # sysupgrade ./sysupgrade.bin
    


  • Another option is to use SFTP.
    Using opkg install command, you can install openssh-sftp-server and connect from your computer to "upload" to Omega2.
    Or you can install openssh-sftp-client and configure your computer as server, to "download" from computer.
