@gabornagy93 depending on your application, you could use a stock (or customized) OpenWrt build for the Omega2S, which uses the open source mt76 wifi driver built on the nl80211/cfg80211 architecture. mt76 was unreliable at the time Omega2 came out. It greatly improved over the years, and recently a company with a product based on MT7688 invested some money for getting their mt76 based product through wifi certification, making mt76 super stable and perfomant. It can also work in station (wifi client) mode without being an access point at the same time. Of course, with stock Openwrt you would not have any of Onion's additions by default. But as the Onion openwrt package feed is open source you could add it into your openwrt build environment, and build/use those packages you'd need. Of course, things depending on the Omega proprietary driver would not work unmodified. You could also start with the onion openwrt tree and try to replace the proprietary driver by a recent mt76 in there, but I guess that could get much more complicated than the other way around. For my own (dozens) Omgea2 based projects with thousands of devices in the field I always used stock OpenWrt with some customisation on top. To keep my changes apart from the openwrt tree, so I don't have to fork it, I wrote a untility script that might help others, too.

Thank you for your tips. I was doing everything correctly (maybe). Because I found compiled lan78xx.ko. Previously I was looking in the wrong folder. And my second mistake was that after flashing image into Omega I expected that module will be list when I type lsmod but it lists only installed modules but not the statically built-in kernel. Does someone know how to list kernel built-in modules? Tip for somebody who needs a driver that source is part of the kernel already. make kernel_menuconfig find there your driver and mark it * for the static part of the kernel or M for a module. make world or only recompile kernel - it is much faster. make target/linux/compile you will find compiled .ko if you want to install it with insmod or you can continue with make target/linux/install and make target/install and you will get new .bin image with recompiled kernel

Thank you. At least now I know why it isn't working maybe some rainy sunday I'll try to look into the code and fix it I have some experience pulling json data like this for other projects on ATMEGE328p and ESP8266. The Omega is almost overwhelming me with all the features and coding options, but I like it. I made the newsfeed work instead and will adapt that into to train time display for my husband. Good to know I wasn't just messing up.

I have exactly this problem. I moved the omega2+ to a similar computer. Both have ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It works OK on one but not on the other.

@luz Thanks. 5100ns Maxretries value(default suggested for ws2812 on readme Github) by this I meant the same as you said, could not convey though. I checked the hardware design, we dont have level-shifter emplied. I will try with level shifter and let you know here. I appreciate your prompt attention. Thank you @crispyoz @luz .

This project is continuation of Onion music server project of mine. Main motivation is improve sound quality and get rid of some Onion wierd issues that i have no skills nor time to solve. Project unique is i2s connection application for OrangePi Zero board that have no I2S soldered out by vendor Firstbankcard

I wrote my library on PHP: https://github.com/VBaczynski/phpi2c And the sensor reader: https://github.com/VBaczynski/bmp-sensor-reader It works much faster then the Python version. (I don't know why...)

@Flemming-Richter @Kit-Bishop I second this as well! I'm still waiting to use iptables kmods, so I can implement my networking project. Having the ability to use any OpenWRT module would provide an immense additional value to Omega and Omega2 (after November)

I just realized that specific software driver profile loadouts could be housed on custom and small flash drives that could ship all needed packages (which opkg could later update once installed) for a specific hardware kit ordered from the store. Really, for the above to make sense, I do believe that we'd need to tweak the OS to allow for running packages installed outside of root, such that the 16MB root partition can house only the absolute essential bootstrapping tech, while the external usb hub is required to run the actual application/project software necessary.

@Josh-Rosenthal Thank you so much for sharing this! It's very helpful!

fyi I had the same problem on a fresh install of ubuntu 14, no USB devices listed. But after some time when i tried again it simply worked by itself.

@Shamyl-Mansoor Yup, we are hurrying! We just need a few more days!

I was able to connect to the /dev/USB0 device tonight without installing the driver. Haven't tried accessing my expansion boards though.

I too would love a precompiled version of the serialport npm package delivered via opkg as I dont think npm node-gyp compilation is ever going to work. This is the way the Arduino Yun supports serial via nodejs (it also uses same chipset and similar openwrt distro). I noticed opkg has a node-usb package one but it doesnt seem to do anything. Cant find it on the file system, neither as npm global package or under /usr/bin directory, I also cant seem to use it via require('usb').
