How to copy new OpenWRT binary build to onion omega2?

nsmith

Hi,

I did a fresh build of OpenWRT from the source, now im trying to flash the binary file to the board.

To do that i first tried copying the binary build using SCP command from the host to the tmp directory on OpenWRT like this

root@omega:/tmp# scp user@192.168.1.2:omega-squashfs-xxx.bin .

scp keeps failing with an error:
Connection to user xxxx exited: no matching also hostkey

Doesnt SCP work on Onion Omega?

Im basically trying to flash a new image to the onion omega2 hardware

If scp fails, run some simple HTTP server on your computer.
I use Node or Python server included in their standard libraries.
For example, if you have sysupgrade.bin file under path/to/your/binary/file/sysupgrade.bin

$ cd path/to/your/binary/file
$ python3 -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...

Let's say your computer's IP address is 192.168.0.33 and it's in under the same router with your Omega2.
On your Omega2 terminal, fetch it like this.

# cd /tmp
# wget http://192.168.0.33/sysupgrade.bin
# sysupgrade ./sysupgrade.bin

Another option is to use SFTP.
Using opkg install command, you can install openssh-sftp-server and connect from your computer to "upload" to Omega2.
Or you can install openssh-sftp-client and configure your computer as server, to "download" from computer.
