Omega2 Pro w/ Node-Red but no Manage Palette [resolved]
-
Well there you go. I'm pretty familiar with Node-Red so I didn't bother to read the Onion docs on it. But the answer was right there plain as day. Installed, rebooted, and Manage Palette appears.
Thanks for the pointer.

I configured my Omega 2 Pro but can's install node-RED, either from the Onion OS GUI or the command line.
I am told my firmware is up-to-date:

url: https://api.onioniot.com/firmware/omega2pro/stable

Comparing version numbers
Device firmware is up to date!I check my file systems:
root@Omega-B668:~# df -h

overlayfs:/overlay 6.6M 388.0K 6.2M 6% /
tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /devOverlay is pretty empty. But then when I run the update from the ssh session it fails:

So overlay is now full.
Suggestions welcome.

@James-Solderitsch judging by the
dfoutput, it looks like your Omega2 Pro is operating from the internal flash and not the emmc.
Please try upgrading the firmware withoupgrade -l -f, it will rerun all of the initialization procedures and should then run the OS from the emmc. Note that this might take up to 5 minutesEDIT: fixed oupgrade command, thanks for the pointer @György-Farkas

@Lazar-Demin @James-Solderitsch
oupgrade -l -cwon't upgrade your firmware. Please tryoupgrade -l -finstead.

@Lazar-Demin No success after this attempt.

@James-Solderitsch try running
o2-pro-initto manually run the initialization and then check if you're running on emmc by runningdf -h. The overlay should have 6.3GB free if you're on emmc

@Lazar-Demin I did a power cycle to the Omega Pro. Now I see:

root@Omega-B668:~#So this seems like what I should have been seeing, correct?

I seem to be able to work with node-RED as expected now.
Anyway to restart it after installing node-red modules using the ssh terminal? On the raspberry pi you have node-red-start and node-red-stop.
Are such commands available on the omega 2 pro?
Also, I have an Omega 2+ If I add SD card storage and upgrade the firmware, then I can run node-RED there too? Is there any configuration to do to have the Omega 2+ use the SD Card storage like the Pro uses the emmc storage when installing software?
-
I have updated my Omega2+ to Firmware 0.3.2 b218.
I see the new Onion OS.
If I do add SD storage to the 2+ to have a memory footprint in the overlayfs to be comparable to what I have in the Omega Pro, will I be able to run node-RED there as well? I see that the App Manager says that node-RED os only available to the Omega Pro, but I wonder if an ssh terminal session would allow node-RED to be installed manually?
-
Reporting on my own request.
I was able to figure out how to get the SD card to be allocated to the overlay file system and from the ssh session I could install node-RED, node-npm and the IBM flows from John Walicki at IBM.
Seems to work OK so far.
I had an expansion dock and an OLED screen and these respond as expected from the node-RED logic.
