Tried to upgrade my firmware using oupgrade, it successfully downloaded but upon starting the upgrade it gets stuck on
killall: watchdog: no process killed
Sending TERM to remaining processes ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Omega shuts down all of the networking functionality in order to flash the new firmware, so it would close down your SSH connection/Console session, and then perform a reboot.

Once it reboots (the amber LED on the Omega will stop flashing and remain on), the update should be complete.

• It takes a while to do the upgrade
• The process shuts down the SSH connection during the upgrade
• Should definitely NOT disconnect/depower Omega until upgrade completes
• When upgrade is complete, reconnect to Omega - all should be OK

• Created a directory: /usb
• Added the following line to my profile file: mount /dev/sda1 /usb
• This way my usb is always available when I restart the Omega.

However, the oupgrade process removed my /usb directory.
Not a big issue - I just recreated the directory.

However, it does lead to the question(s):
Why was the directory deleted? And is there a better recommended place to create directories that you want to stay around over an upgrade?

Currently, there's no safe place to keep directories that you want to persist between upgrades. I thought that /root might be good but users have reported that it gets overwritten as well...

We're working on a way to have an option to choose between a full wipe and just an upgrade but we're still a ways away from releasing that. Wanted to let you guys know that it's on our docket tho!

By the way, a general THANKS to you and all the other Omega staff who respond quickly and helpfully to all the various questions/issues.

We're all super excited to see people actively using the Omega, we wanna help in any way we can!

Similar to @Michael-Vowles, I got the same output:
killall: watchdog: no process killed
Sending TERM to remaining processes ... {process appear here}

So I wait 30 minutes at least to make sure it complete his update but since them I can't connect anymore. So I did a reset button. The led went off, start blinking very fast for a few second, moderate for another few seconds and steady. Also try the power off/on but didn't work.

Since than I cant connect anymore. Did a few things to troubleshoot:

• Check for a WIFI OMEGA-xxxxxx in case it have done a factory reset. (No).
• Check my router/dhcp for any particular IP address it may have change.
• Run a Network IP Scanner (still nothing).

Unfortunately, I only received 1 OMEGA with a mini dock. So I'm stock presently waiting for 2 others Omega to arrive with the docs.

Is there a factory sequence button I can try?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How long will this process take...typically? This has been my second attempt. The last attempt, i waited for about an hour before i power cycled it and now it appears to be doing the same thing.

Appreciate some help here.

Thanks All

Your screenshot above is the expected output. What happened when you rebooted the Omega?

First one went well and did a complete major update / reboot cycle / minor update / reboot cycle before allowing login to console to check everything was fine

Second one started the major update then the putty session started reporting ;'wrong values' scrolling down the page and then what looked like a reboot, putty shut down omega left on, now I can connect to com port but get no display.

Ideas please?
