I have an Omega from Kickstarter shipment that does not boot

Andrew Donnelly

The instructions here https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Reflash-The-Firmware-With-Ethernet-Expansion do not apply. Why might you ask? I have the testing firmware that was loaded to test the boards.

I need instructions to completely reflash this with the correct U-Boot and firmware. Serial works, if you can give me a TFTPBOOT capable image to load to the device I could boot from memory and flash it that way. Otherwise, it's useless and I'd like to get a replacement.

@Andrew-Donnelly sorry for the delay, we've been looking at this and haven't found a way to upload the firmware using tftpboot.

Can you file a support ticket on our helpdesk referencing this forum post? We'll send you a replacement Omega
