Thank you! I ended up taking the Omega2 out of the dock and connecting via serial to RX0 and TX0, and it seems to have done the trick.

@Jeff-Seese
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried all of them, and unfortunately none of them seemed to have any effect. I did test the FTDI by looping TX into RX and typing into the console, which worked properly. I also tried the reset button, but it didn't seem to do anything, even after a manual power cycle afterwards. This happens to be an Omega2 that still has the firmware from when I first got it off Kickstarter, and I noticed that the reset button was fixed in some build in the docs.

Hi,

I'm using an Omega2 with a Power Dock, and I'm trying to connect via serial through an FTDI cable (6-pin, only using GND, TX, and RX) to their respective pins on the dock. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be getting any output when using screen or PuTTY.

This started when I initially connected to the Omega2 via the WiFi access point and tried to get it to connect to my home WiFi, either by using the web setup or SSH. Neither worked, and so I desperately tried some command (can't remember what exactly) that gave me a default WiFi configuration. I piped the output of it to /etc/config/network, and now I only get an SSID called "WRTNode2P_XXXX" (where 'XXXX' are the 4 characters that make up the end of the MAC address). Additionally, neither using mDNS or any IP address seems to yield any results for connecting to the Omega2 via SSH.

Unfortunately, as I stated, I only have a power dock, so I'm unable to connect via serial through an expansion dock or mini dock.

Thanks.
