Omega doesn't to appear to be working
-
@Andrew-Donnelly Sorry that didn't work.
I'm far from an expert and am still learning lots by trying. Hope you resolve your problems.

Thanks for the try, it's just frustrating because out of the 2 I've opened, 1 is basically DOA, and there's nothing I can do until I get a TFTP-loadable version that I can run oupgrade on to reflash the device. I work with this kind of stuff every day at work, and we have something similar called netflash, but again, we produce the devices, so we have the firmware and TFTP servers everywhere.
Some good news, I can at least get httpd running on the pre-release, but because there's no files, I'm immediately returned a 404. Hah.
-
@Andrew-Donnelly you're able to get httpd running with the Ethernet Expansion?
Download the latest firmware from: http://repo.onion.io/omega/images/omega-v0.0.3-b213.bin
Use that to reflash your Omega.

@Lazar-Demin I think you misunderstood. I'm not getting httpd in U-Boot, I'm getting httpd in the pre-release firmware that I posted a snapshot of the output of. If you read line by line my 2 console outputs, you'll see which httpd server I'm starting. I'm already booted into the pre-release bench-test linux before I can run it. Please read the output I provide you, again, I work on this kinda stuff for a living, so the output I give you should be useful, make use of it or it's for naught.

Use that to reflash your Omega.I will say this, that filename is super helpful, since now I think I can tftpboot off that and manually push the firmware by invoking an upgrade from the console! And U-Boot refuses to directly load that firmware update file, dang.
I have a question, can I use dd to flash this .bin file to the "DOA" Omega? I mean I can get into the pre-release environment, I can get on the network without issue, heck, it looks like there's enough facilities here to pull the image across the network to load it, so what say you and your team? /dev/mtd2 ?
Well I've been playing around and trying to get this thing flashed. I'm still able to get into U-Boot so provided a bootable tftpboot image can be made available, I can quickly write up instructions on how to recover the device from scratch if needed.

@Boken-Lin OK that password worked, now what
-
@Scott-Jordan Ok, next, we will be sending you an ethernet expansion. Is your address the same as the one we have sent the Omega to previously? Once you have gotten the ethernet expansion, we will show you how to flash your firmware with it.
-
Yes same address, thank you
-
I also have problems - my omega blinks and then goes solid. It broadcasts a WiFi signal, and I can connect, but when I open a browser (on my computer or phone), I can't go to the "http://omega-ABCD.local", where I've replaced ABCD or "http://192.168.3.1". I tried using Putty to connect too, but when I open the connection as per the instructions, I'm left with a blank screen. Thanks in advance for your help.
-
Oh, and my on/off switch on my expansion dock has also broken off.
-
@William-Sikkema When you connect using putty, does it do anything if you press the ENTER key?
-
@Boken-Lin Not received Ethernet expansion you said you would send.
-
So if we have the same problem as Andrew-Donnely or Scott-Jordan, but did not get the network expansion dock what are our options? I had a ticket on the support sight but it has been closed and i've not gotten a response from them from my last question.
-
I've bricked mine by trying to custom build an image. I have an ethernet module but no expansion dock as I ordered the battery version which hasnt shipped yet. I can see the expansion module only has 4 pins that look to be connected so I just need the pinout of the expansion.
-
Hi @Scott-Jordan, we have sent out the shipment request to the fulfillment center. It can take up to 3 weeks for the package to arrive at the destination.
-
Hi @darryl-mays, I wasn't able to find anyone under your name in the ticket system. Would you be able to send me the ticket number? We just need to access what is the issue with the Omega. If the issue is as a result of the firmware not being flashed properly on the Omega, we will be sending you an ethernet expansion free of charge so you can use it to reflash the Omega to the correct firmware.

@Sawyer-McBride Please see the diagram below:

Thanks @Boken-Lin
-
@Boken-Lin OK, Thanks

@Boken-Lin
https://onion.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/155 is my ticket, initially an alias was put in the name field. I updated the profile.
Additionally I was able to log into it today using root/5up and get a busybox login successful message.
-
@darryl-mays Ok. Can you just confirm that your shipping address is the same? We will send you an ethernet expansion to re-flash your Omega. Seems that you have an expansion dock, so there should be no problem for you to use the ethernet expansion.
