Another odd Omega not booting problem



  • @Harvey-Golob I think I figured out the issue. You also need to flash the ART partition on the Omega. Can you start up httpd from your uboot again, and at the bottom, there should be a link to flash ART. the ART partition binary can be found here: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/onion-downloads/openwrt/art_for_omega.bin.



  • @Boken-Lin Flashed ART just now, no change. Also tried hotspot suggestion, scan from Omega still fails. ifconfig only shows lo and eth0. Headed to work now, will check back end of day.



  • @Harvey-Golob You will need to do a factory reset after flashing the ART partition. On first boot, the Omega will read from the ART partition and setup its WiFi.

    Sorry about the confusion!



  • @Boken-Lin Finally got back to this, started Omega, did factory reset and still no wifi. Just to be sure dropped to Uboot and started httpd and tried to reflash ART. Then did factory reset and no change.



  • @Harvey-Golob Can you try reflash both ART and the rootfs partition from uboot?



  • @Boken-Lin Reflashed firmware (omega-v0.0.5-b238) and let boot, then restarted and reflashed ART, let it boot and then factory reset, still no change. Missing something?



  • @Harvey-Golob Can you connect via serial terminal and copy and paste the dmesg (all the text that flashes before your screen).



  • @Boken-Lin Here ya go..

  • @Harvey-Golob Alright, figured out what your issue is. Apparently the MAC address was erased when you flash the ART partition. Can you boot into uboot, and issue the following command:

    setmac 40:A3:6B:C1:06:C3
    

    After that, just reboot, and everything should work!

    Cheers!
