Troubleshooting the Omega Setup

[Boken Lin]

Hi Jeremy,

Here's a couple things you can try out:

1. Add http:// before omega-ABCD.local. Sometimes your browser may not recognize that you are actually entering in an URL, and treat it as a search string instead.
2. Try to setup by the Omega by going to http://192.168.3.1 instead. This explicitly tells your browser to connect to the IP address of the Omega instead of doing it through an alias.

Please let us know if these help, or if you have any other questions.

Cheers!
Boken.

I had the same problem and after asking for help got basically the same reply.
I can confirm that using http://192.168.3.1 worked for me.
However, note that you shouldn't use Firefox - it doesn't handle the response properly. I had to use Chrome or Microsoft Edge

[Boken Lin]

@Kit-Bishop The bug with firefox seems to be caused by a bug in the Javascript framework we are using. We have been working on a fix for it. We will include that in the next console release later this week.

[Kit Bishop]

Thanks - no rush - I'm happy using Chrome

I think you should include the 192.168.3.1 option throughout your documentation on setup. It is only found one place in your docs I think.

@Onion-Rings Updated!

[Kit Bishop]

See it That was quick Thanks

@Boken-Lin Does this also apply to the Safari browser on the iPad? I managed to connect to my Omega and it displayed the Omega Setup Wizard, but the line below was all gray and nothing happened.

I couldn't connect with Safari, everything worked great once I ran it in Chrome though

[Boken Lin]

@Derek-Law, @Tim-Smith Yes, this will fix the bug in Firefox as well as Safari

@Boken Lin can you tell me the chipsets used in the expansion boards Im just building my kernel and I want to make sure I include the support compiled in for the different expansion boards chips like the ethernet chipset. That way I dont have to just select everything in modules.

[Boken Lin]

@Andrew-Moore When you are in the menuconfig, if you have selected your target as the Onion Omega, it should automatically load all the kernel modules to make sure all expansions can be recognized by the Omega.

[Andrew Moore]

Ok Cool I did see some pre selected but I didnt see the ethernet controller so I wasnt sure if the expansions were included, I must have missed it. Is it a module or loaded in the kernel? Sorry I dont have the Onion yet just getting ready.

Thanks

[Boken Lin]

@Andrew-Moore Ethernet expansion should be supported by the default configuration, so you don't need to select additional modules for it to work.

Directing to http://192.168.3.1 worked great! Thanks Boken for the quick response

Support for Firefox and Safari will be added starting from next console release. Stay tuned
