OnionOS v0.0.1 Upgrade
-
i have a very old Onion Omega running version 0.0.1 according to
oupgrade -version. I started having a look for the documentation but on the documentation pages but could only find the documentation for the Omerga 2.No matter, I thought, I'm sure the two will be pretty similar with this stuff and it seems I was right. So I was able to browse to the Omega after connecting to it's AP and I tried to setup the wifi connection but this failed even after copying and pasting the known correct password. So I SSH on instead , which by the way required using:
ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 root@192.168.3.1When I SSH on I try to connect to the wifi again and get this output:
> Connecting to <SSID> network using intf 1... > Checking wwan device status... > wwan is up > Checking internet connection... > ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successful > Done! root@Omega-2739:~# ping google.com PING google.com (216.58.213.14): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 216.58.213.14: seq=0 ttl=116 time=24.342 ms 64 bytes from 216.58.213.14: seq=1 ttl=116 time=21.777 ms ^C --- google.com ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 21.777/23.059/24.342 msSo I know I'm connected to wifi contrary to the check's output.
With this in mind, I try to upgrade it using
oupgrade. This results in:root@Omega-2739:~# oupgrade > Device Firmware Version: 0.0.1 > Checking latest version online... > ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successfulBut we know the connection is fine.
So I try to update the package manager to see if maybe that gives me some more information and indeed I get something more concrete:
root@Omega-2739:~# opkg update Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/Packages.gz.

So I backtrack that URL till I hit something and the part i hit is:
https://archive.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/
This doesn't have the relevant directories to get the package.gz file.
Is there something else i can do to update my Omega?

I was looking back at this for a project again. I was able to get the firmware updated. Watch out for 15.05 though, OpenSSL isn't installed on that so I couldn't use OPKG. Otherwise, I now have an up to date Onion! Thanks folks!

@jimbo8098 sorry for digging up old thread but did you update using 18? If so, how?
