Omega doesn't to appear to be working
-
Thank's Boken, no problem.
-
Hi @Scott-Jordan, can you try logging in again. This time, try the password 5up.
Cheers!
-
I too have an Omega that does not boot up properly. The password provided here "5up" worked to log in, but now I need to flash the latest version of the firmware on it, where can I get this and the instructions on how to do so? Also, worrisome is the fact that during boot, the Atheros came up with MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, is there NVRAM I have to address as well? HALP.
-
@Andrew-Donnelly Not 100% sure if this is the problem, but having managed to logon to your Omega, have you tried using the oupgrade command?
-
@Kit-Bishop It does not exist.
I also found this guide on another thread:
@Boken-Lin said:
@Daniel-Anner I don't have the guide written yet. We will make sure we do that next week.
For the time being, here is a short guide:
- Ensure that the Expansion dock is in the OFF position
- Plug ethernet expansion to the expansion dock
- Connect your computer to the Omega with the ethernet expansion via ethernet cable
- Connect the micro USB cable to the Expansion Dock
- Start serial terminal
- Switch the Expansion dock to ON position
- At this point you will see some text appear in your serial terminal IMMEDIATELY PRESS ANY KEY ON YOUR COMPUTER. This will interrupt the normal booting sequence and put you into the uboot.
- Type httpd to start the httpd service in uboot. A message should tell you that a server is hosted in 192.168.1.1.
- Open up the browser on your computer, and navigate to http://192.168.1.1, here you will see an interface that allows you to upload and re-flash the firmware.
This guide is not complete. There is no "httpd" on the bootloader I have (same as the other guy here, pre-release build on this Omega, it also had 2 bent pins). The u-boot does include tftpboot so if there was an image I could throw onto my local TFTP server, I could boot this thing off the network and get the oupgrade command.
Here's my Omega's output thus far:

I need an official bootable version I can dump on TFTP or else this thing is useless. Oupgrade does not exist in the loaded firmware, and httpd does not work on this bootloader:

@Andrew-Donnelly Sorry that didn't work.
I'm far from an expert and am still learning lots by trying. Hope you resolve your problems.

@Kit-Bishop said:
e
Thanks for the try, it's just frustrating because out of the 2 I've opened, 1 is basically DOA, and there's nothing I can do until I get a TFTP-loadable version that I can run oupgrade on to reflash the device. I work with this kind of stuff every day at work, and we have something similar called netflash, but again, we produce the devices, so we have the firmware and TFTP servers everywhere.
Some good news, I can at least get httpd running on the pre-release, but because there's no files, I'm immediately returned a 404. Hah.
-
@Andrew-Donnelly you're able to get httpd running with the Ethernet Expansion?
Download the latest firmware from: http://repo.onion.io/omega/images/omega-v0.0.3-b213.bin
Use that to reflash your Omega.
-
@Lazar-Demin I think you misunderstood. I'm not getting httpd in U-Boot, I'm getting httpd in the pre-release firmware that I posted a snapshot of the output of. If you read line by line my 2 console outputs, you'll see which httpd server I'm starting. I'm already booted into the pre-release bench-test linux before I can run it. Please read the output I provide you, again, I work on this kinda stuff for a living, so the output I give you should be useful, make use of it or it's for naught.

Use that to reflash your Omega.I will say this, that filename is super helpful, since now I think I can tftpboot off that and manually push the firmware by invoking an upgrade from the console! And U-Boot refuses to directly load that firmware update file, dang.
I have a question, can I use dd to flash this .bin file to the "DOA" Omega? I mean I can get into the pre-release environment, I can get on the network without issue, heck, it looks like there's enough facilities here to pull the image across the network to load it, so what say you and your team? /dev/mtd2 ?
Well I've been playing around and trying to get this thing flashed. I'm still able to get into U-Boot so provided a bootable tftpboot image can be made available, I can quickly write up instructions on how to recover the device from scratch if needed.
-
@Boken-Lin OK that password worked, now what
-
@Scott-Jordan Ok, next, we will be sending you an ethernet expansion. Is your address the same as the one we have sent the Omega to previously? Once you have gotten the ethernet expansion, we will show you how to flash your firmware with it.
-
Yes same address, thank you
-
I also have problems - my omega blinks and then goes solid. It broadcasts a WiFi signal, and I can connect, but when I open a browser (on my computer or phone), I can't go to the "http://omega-ABCD.local", where I've replaced ABCD or "http://192.168.3.1". I tried using Putty to connect too, but when I open the connection as per the instructions, I'm left with a blank screen. Thanks in advance for your help.
-
Oh, and my on/off switch on my expansion dock has also broken off.
-
@William-Sikkema When you connect using putty, does it do anything if you press the ENTER key?
-
@Boken-Lin Not received Ethernet expansion you said you would send.
-
So if we have the same problem as Andrew-Donnely or Scott-Jordan, but did not get the network expansion dock what are our options? I had a ticket on the support sight but it has been closed and i've not gotten a response from them from my last question.
-
I've bricked mine by trying to custom build an image. I have an ethernet module but no expansion dock as I ordered the battery version which hasnt shipped yet. I can see the expansion module only has 4 pins that look to be connected so I just need the pinout of the expansion.
-
Hi @Scott-Jordan, we have sent out the shipment request to the fulfillment center. It can take up to 3 weeks for the package to arrive at the destination.
-
Hi @darryl-mays, I wasn't able to find anyone under your name in the ticket system. Would you be able to send me the ticket number? We just need to access what is the issue with the Omega. If the issue is as a result of the firmware not being flashed properly on the Omega, we will be sending you an ethernet expansion free of charge so you can use it to reflash the Omega to the correct firmware.
