    Updates

    Dec 6 2019 - Official Firmware Available

    Official firmware for the Omega2 Dash is now available!

    If you have a beta unit, follow these instructions to upgrade to the official firmware:

    • Make sure your Omega2 Dash is connected to the internet
    • Back up any files that you don't want to lose! The upgrade will erase everything on the filesystem
    • Run the following commands:
    cd /tmp
    wget http://repo.onioniot.com/omega2/images/omega2dash-v0.3.2-b233.bin
    sysupgrade -F -n -v omega2dash-v0.3.2-b233.bin

    We've put together an program that can serve as the starting for Omega2 Dash programs using the LittleV Graphics Library.

    lv_example

    Out of the box it supports:

    • The Linux Framebuffer - will draw to the Omega2 Dash display
    • The XPT7603 touch input device on the Omega2 Dash
    • A makefile and instructions to build it as an OpenWRT package
    • A small demo

    Use this to get started with your own lvgl programs!

    Run sh > /dev/tty0 on your Omega2 Dash. Everything you type from then on will show up on the display and not in your terminal window.
    Hit ctrl+c to exit.



  • I am waiting for my first two Omega Dash devices.

    I have been looking at LVGL emulators.

    Can you suggest one that you have been using? I use Linux systems exclusively.

    Thank you,
    David



  • @David-Kerr I'm using the Eclipse with SDL. It works well, other than Eclipse's usual quirks. Here's nice youtube of how to set it up.

    When I upgraded to from Ubuntu 18.04 to 19 it broke and I haven't had time to look into why yet but I suspect it is some versioning issue.



  • Thanks for that.
    I like the look of Eclipse.
    Will see how I go. I installed it on 18.04 and have their example working.
    Best Regards,
    David



  • Hi Crispyoz,

    I upgraded to 19.10, upgraded Eclipse to 2020-03, upgraded the eclipse-workspace and all is working well.

    Thanks again for the recommendation.

    Best Regds,
    Dave

  • @David-Kerr That's great news. I'm going to upgrade my system to Ubuntu 20, let's see if that breaks the emulator.
