I'd like to feed power directly into the Onion board, rather than via the Dock or Mini-Dock. However, when I do (3.3V & GND on the appropriate pins) nothing happens. (The board is still OK: when I put it back on a Mini-Dock, it boots up and runs.)

I would look at the board schematics and figure it out myself, but those are not accessible (the wiki link to the schematic PDF at https://wiki.onion.io/create/Documentation/Hardware/Schematics/Omega.pdf says "Forbidden. This wiki is set to no-edit mode.")

Can anybody explain how to feed in power directly, or else get the schematics un-protected somehow?

Thanks!

Got it! FW-RST/GPIO38 is active HIGH! I had just enough jumpers to hook up my separate UART-TX so I could type, and also pull FW-RST high during boot. I'm flashing omega2.bin from USB right now, and will be able to get my own (fixed!) firmware installed shortly. Phew!
