When will Onion Open Source?
-
Hi,
May I know when will the Onion open source as promised on the kickstarter?
-
@Yejin-Chen You can find the source code there : https://github.com/OnionIoT
OpenWRT is already open source softwareQuoted from Kickstarter:
Ω Open Source
We are strong believers of open source and we strive to give back to the open source community. All hardware schematics, board design, and bill of materials will be made available to the community. In addition, the operating system and other system software on the Omega, as well as an API compatible version of the Onion Cloud, will be open sourced. Communications between the Omega and the Onion Cloud use open standards, which will allow you to hack and customize your Omega to your heart’s content.So I suppose you mean, when will the hardware be open sourced?
-
Yes. Actually I have been asking Boken for half a year about the update of hardware opening. But Onion team just delay months and months. So may I know the timeline for the open source of hardware? Thank you.

Did anyone give me a reply?

I would also very much like to know when the hardware (as a first step, schematics would do for me) will be opensourced, as promised in the kickstarter campaign.
I supported the Onion because of its promise to be completely open. If it turns out to be just yet another cloudy maker board, and Onion is reluctant to disclose the hardware, it's of little use for me. I don't hope that's the case.
I acknowledge that all the cloud stuff currently might be more important for the project to get traction and market share, but I would still expect that someone @ onion finds a minute's time to put the schematic into the wiki, like they did with the technical drawing - https://wiki.onion.io/pages/

@Lukas-Zeller Agree!

Did anyone give a reply about the problem?

@Boken-Lin When will you update the schematic ?

Hi @Yejin-Chen
We're working on high priority features revolving around the cloud and app store. Please have patience, we will be open sourcing the designs when we have the time.Thanks,
The Onion Team

In the past half year, I get the same above answer for that.
Also could you please check this thread?

Thank you Lazar schematics would be great but the cloud and app store are top on my priority list.

@Boken-Lin When will you update the schematic ? I have been waiting for half a year.
