boot loop



  • Hi @Hong-Chen TX+ needs to be twisted with TX-, and RX+ with RX- (they are twisted pairs). You twist them together like the following picture:

    And you also need to separate TX+TX- with RX+RX- (right now they are stuck together). After this is done, disconnect the wifi on your computer and try again.

    Twisted Pairs

    Cheers!



  • I try it, still can't start httpd.
    Also it is stranger, why ping self-ipaddr got

    Error: ping failed, host 192.168.1.1 is not alive!

  • @Hong-Chen Hmmm, why are you trying to ping 192.168.1.1 from the Omega? 192.168.1.1 should be the Omega itself. Can you try pinging it from your computer?



  • @Boken-Lin because I can't start httpd. so I try to find problem.
    what is "serverip=192.168.1.100" meaning? the Omega ip?
    I set PC ip to 192.168.1.111 and ping 192.168.1.1, .100, both no reach.
    than I try ping from Omega self, and found it "not alive".

    how can I make Omega work. is it any way to use USB serial to make a solution?



  • @Hong-Chen Hi Hong, I was reading over your TTL output once again, and it seems that your Omega reboots whenever it's trying to start the wifi. So it could be that the power supply you are supplying the Omega with doesn't have enough current. Can you try connecting the Omega to another power source? perhaps a powered USB hub or a phone charger? Let's see if the wifi is able to come online.

    the serverip you are trying to set is for tftp server, which isn't directly related to the httpd service that you are trying to start. Let's try this out. If it doesn't work out we'll send you an ethernet expansion so you can reflash the firmware.

    Thanks!



  • @Boken-Lin Thank for replay.
    I was initially use a phone charger, I check the current only 30-100 mA.
    but 2nd day I can't browse and ssh into Onion and can't find it on LAN with tool "fing".
    so I trying serial connect to see what happen.
    the TTL output reboot was on the case using serial connect, it connected Notebook PC USB and OMEGA micro USB.
    Today I try use powered USB hub (HUB with 2.5A power supply ), unfortunate I still can't start httpd.
    I think if only current 30-100 mA, Notebook PC USB power is enough.

    Thanks! & Merry Christmas!



  • Hi @Hong-Chen, in that case I am not sure what the issue is. Your ethernet setup seems to be fine. We will send you an ethernet expansion so you can reflash the Omega. Is your shipping address still the same?



  • @Boken-Lin My address still the same. Thank you so mach.



  • @Boken-Lin Sorry, about how long to get "ethernet expansion"?



  • Hi @Hong-Chen,

    Sorry for the delay, I've created a shipment request for the Expansion Dock. It should get to you within 2-3 weeks.



  • @Gabriel-Ongpauco Thank you so mach.



  • @Gabriel-Ongpauco I still not get the Expansion Dock, is it still on the way?
    or any other new way to debrick the Omega?



  • Hong Chen, the award for patience goes to you 6 months and waiting!



  • @Hong-Chen It seeems there was an error submitting your order and we weren't able to resolve it until now. I've just sent the shipment request and it should get to you within 1-2 weeks. I apologize for the delays! šŸ˜ž

  • @Gabriel-Ongpauco Thank you so mach. I just got the Expansion Dock. I will try to debrick the Omega ASAP.



  • Sorry for replay late, I try to debrick , because I am quite busy and try many time but still not work.
    it seem hardware not stable. see following describe. any thing wrong?
    (btw, I backed 2 Omega2, hope go smoothly!)
