Omega Onion 2 pro SSID Issues after flashing custom image

[Antony]

Hello,

After flashing a custom image or at least I think I successfully flashed the custom image (not sure how to check since I cannot ssh into the Onion Omega 2 pro), the onion omega 2 pro no longer broadcasts an SSID to connect to.

Any thoughts on how to approach this?

Thank you!

@Antony My guess is that your firmware does not include the Warp Core drivers or configuration but I can only guess as you have not provided much information How to Ask for Help

Hi @crispyoz

I installed the Warp Core drivers using: ./scripts/feeds install wifi-warp-core, but it did not seem to resolve the issue.

I am customizing the image using the latest git repo: https://github.com/OnionIoT/source/tree/openwrt-18.06 and following the instructions provided in the README section.

After downloading this repository I am changing the rc.local file and adding two scripts to the root directory.

Thank you!

@Antony ./scripts/feeds install wifi-warp-core only makes the driver available when you run make menuconfig you still need to select warp core for it to be included in the build.

Thanks @crispyoz !

In the make menuconfig, I searched through all the folders for this and could not find wifi-warp-core. Does wifi-warp-core just extract all different kinds of wireless drivers for one to choose from, because I found many different versions of wireless drivers.

Thanks again!

@Antony you an always use / to search inside make menuconfig, the warp core option is inside Onion->WiFi

An easy way to reset your configuration is follow these steps:

rm .config
ln -s .config.O2 .config

This resets back to the standard Omega2 configuration.

You'll also need to make sure the Onion package repo is in your feeds.conf file.

See: https://github.com/OnionIoT/source/blob/openwrt-18.06/feeds.conf#L5

Thanks, I will try this.

I was able to serially connect to this created image and I see the following where there are no characters after the dash in Omega-.

Is this related?

Thank you!

@Antony We use a uci-defaults script to set the hostname based on the mac address
