@György-Farkas damn, I was hoping this wasn't the case. Thanks for your help though.

@toddkrein have you installed Bonjour ?

To make the serial port console use authentication, open the file /etc/config/system Edit the line that says option ttylogin '0' and change the 0 to a 1. Reboot the system. It will now ask you for a login on the serial port console. Default is user: root, password: onioneer

@CAP-33 /proc is your friend. See also Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Run these commands (for example cat /proc/version cat /proc/cpuinfo cat /proc/mtd free cat /proc/meminfo cat /proc/iomem or put those commands into a simple info.sh script: #!/bin/sh date > info.txt echo -e "\n*** Version ***" >> info.txt cat /proc/version >> info.txt echo -e "\n*** CPU info ***" >> info.txt cat /proc/cpuinfo >> info.txt echo -e "\n*** MTD ***" >> info.txt cat /proc/mtd >> info.txt echo -e "\n*** and so on ... ***" >> info.txt @luz said earlier about CPU temperature in Can I get Omega's CPU temperature? As far as I know - from reading the datasheets of both AR9331 (Omega1) and MT7688 (Omega2) - there is no temperature sensor in these SoCs that could be read. You can try also top (let's say top -n 1 | head -n 3 ).

@Chris-Stratton oh thanks, i'm newbie in that. i will try

@Lucia-Touma i suggest python of some kind.

@Ken-Conrad A voltage-divider is basically just two resistors. Remove the one that goes to GND and replace the other one with a 0 Ohm-one or remove it and short the pads. I can't tell you which resistors they are on the dock, however, without actually having the dock.

Thanks everyone, found the problem! It is my miniDock that was causing it. I try an extension dock and work perfectly. I'll test other miniDocks and will report later if this is general or just this one.
