OnionOS v0.0.1 Upgrade



  • i have a very old Onion Omega running version 0.0.1 according to oupgrade -version. I started having a look for the documentation but on the documentation pages but could only find the documentation for the Omerga 2.

    No matter, I thought, I'm sure the two will be pretty similar with this stuff and it seems I was right. So I was able to browse to the Omega after connecting to it's AP and I tried to setup the wifi connection but this failed even after copying and pasting the known correct password. So I SSH on instead , which by the way required using:

    ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 root@192.168.3.1
    

    When I SSH on I try to connect to the wifi again and get this output:

    > Connecting to <SSID> network using intf 1...
    > Checking wwan device status...
    > wwan is up
    > Checking internet connection...
    > ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successful
    > Done!
    root@Omega-2739:~# ping google.com

    So I know I'm connected to wifi contrary to the check's output.

    With this in mind, I try to upgrade it using oupgrade. This results in:

    root@Omega-2739:~# oupgrade
    > Device Firmware Version: 0.0.1
    > Checking latest version online...
    > ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successful
    

    But we know the connection is fine.

    So I try to update the package manager to see if maybe that gives me some more information and indeed I get something more concrete:

    root@Omega-2739:~# opkg update

    On further inspection of the failed URLs, I see that if I go to https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/onion/Packages.gz I just get redirected to a not found page at archive.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/etc.... So I backtrack that URL till I hit something and the part i hit is:

    https://archive.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/

    This doesn't have the relevant directories to get the package.gz file.

    Is there something else i can do to update my Omega?
