OS X El Capitan connection issues
-
I can't connect to my board using terminal because there are no serial device under /dev even with latest drivers (but driver doc says it supported only by 10.10 anyway). Also I can't connect using my Wi-Fi. After connecting to setup wizard and choosing network progress never ends, my laptop looses Wi-Fi connection to board and I need start it from scratch.
P.S. Even this discussion doesn't work on Safari browser which one is default for OS X.

I have the same setup, OSX El Cap and have it working. Did you follow the install of the serial driver?

I was using a 'power only' cable for a while. A different cable worked. Also, I seem to have trouble with the USB port on the left side. I have no issues with the one on the right. I think they are both USB3.0, so I am not sure what the issue could be.
-
@chris-thanks for the hint with the power cable. On my Mac Airbook I have the same problem that the left USB doesn't work while the right one is working perfect.
-
@Chris-Ward The Omega doesn't support USB 3.0, so it could be possible that the devices you are trying to use via the USB host are not backward compatible with USB 2.0. Do you have a USB 2.0 device you can try on the Omega? I just want to identify if it's the problem caused by the USB device not supporting the Omega or an issue with the board itself.
-
@Uwe-Press If you can post a picture of your USB cable, we might be able to identify it visually if it's a power-only cable or power + data cable. Cables that carry data also tend to be much thicker than cables that carry only power.
-
Slightly off-topic, but you can ssh into the device
$ ssh root@omega-ABCD.localhttps://wiki.onion.io/tutorials/ssh
also, you can use the terminal web app once you connect to it in the browser
PS: usb connection works well on my MacBook Pro running El Capitan from both left and right USB ports but there's really no need to connect that way.
-
@Boken-Lin See attached picture. The thicker one works very well and the thinner one is only able to carry power.
-
@Uwe-Press Yeah, seems like the thinner one is designed to transfer power only.
-
Replacing power cable works fine! Thanks!

@Andrei-Railean I am using serial to connect to my omega to set up the wifi. Once I have connected to a wifi network, I seem to need to use serial to connect to a different one. The AP never shows up in my list of wifi networks on my phone or mac. It is easier to use serial and move on
-
@Chris-Ward It's weird that the AP never shows up. Can you show me the content of
/etc/config/wireless? Let's see if there's anything we can do.
