Hi,
for the next firmware update, can the omega console be responsive so that I can view in on my phone too?
sorry, I'm a noob so I don't know how to do this myself, although I'm looking up on websites.

Thanks!

Hi,
Just by curiosity, will I be able to make custom firmware for the omega? I love the stock firmware but I have always loved debian so I would like a debian port. Or something like TinyCore Linux?

Thanks!

Hi,
Is there any way I can make a custom linux distro for the Onion Omega(2)?
I know the given firmware is great but I just want to make my own distro for various reasons.
If it is possible, how do I flash the omega with it? Do I put it on a micro-sd?

Thanks!

@Douglas-Kryder No it doesn't. But looking at others' replies, I think mine is an Omega 2 plus.
I looked at the documentation, and the Omega 2 is supposed to say Omega 2 on top and the model should be OM-O2. The Omega 2 plus should say Omega 2+ on top and OM-O2P for the model. However, the strange thing is, Mine says Onion Omega 2 on the top but for the model number it says OM-O2P. Here's proof:

Thank you guys!
I was so worried! I thought I ordered the wrong model and so I wouldn't be able to get a replacement...

Thanks! I'll file a ticket for a replacement!

Hi,
I just got an Onion omega 2 plus in the mail, or at least I think.
The model number is OM-O2P, which I think means Onion Omega-Omega 2 Plus.
However, on the backside, there is no micro sd card slot! Only the solder pads exsist, and I never soldered on smd parts before. Nor do I know where to get an sd card holder than matches the solder pads on the bottom of my board.
is this normal?

Thanks!

Hi,
as soon as my Omega 2 boots up, it gets crazy hot. I can grab it and hold it in my hands, but still I think it is extremely hot for such a small device.
So, is this normal? Or is my Omega getting high voltage? BTW I'm powering it from usb ports only. Like, you know, power banks, usb wall adapters, my macbook usb port, etc.

Hi,
My onion omega 2 just arrived, and it's not working.
The access point has a password, and onioneer is not the correct password.
The serial terminal just spits out gibberish ascii characters.
Help!
I really really want my omega to work...

Hi,
Is there a way to conveniently move files from my mac to the onion omega ?
I have an omega 2 plus, and I want to use it as my own web server. I installed Apache but that's all I did. I have all the files for my website on my Mac, and I just want to copy them to my Omega.

P.S. Since I have an omega 2 plus, I want to use an sd card for expanded storage. Is this possible? I saw lots of documentations on how to use the USB port, but I never saw anythin about the sd card slot on the omega 2 plus.

Thanks!

Yup.
Is it possible???
Also can the omega boot off a usb drive, like, debian server or something?
Also if I expand the filesystem to occupy my usb drive, what happens if I boot the omega with the usb drive not plugged in?

Hi, I've asked this before, but I think this might be a little different, so yeah...
Can I somehow flash the Onion Omega 2 with another OS? I want to flash it with DebianWRT, with is OpenWRT Debianized. I'm just a Debian fan so yeah can I???
Also I wish the Onion Omega team made an app for macs and pcs and DEFINITLEY linux machines to communicate with the Omega off-line cuz I live in a dorm and so the wifi shuts down at 10 pm.

Which should I get? I'm currnetly thinking of the mini dock, since I'm not gonna use the GPIo and the mini dock is smaller.

Oh, okay, thanks!
I wasn't really expecting the Omega to run GUI, I was just curious what the purple blob can do with 64mbs of ram. But I REALLY wish I could flash it with an OS one day, like, I don't know, debian server???

I backed 20 bux and ordered a perk on Indiegogo - an omega 2 plus and a dock of my choice.
I'm thinking about the capabilities of the omega 2.
I read it has 64mbs of ram. That's the same specs as the Apple macbook G3.
Does it mean that the onion omega, if somehow connected to RCA or HDMI, can output GUI? can it stream video?
BTW, is there any way to flash an OS, like Puppy linux or DamnSmallLinux, on Onion? They have really low system requirements.

I am a newbie. hehe.
Can anybody reccomend me some good projects for absolute beginners? I don't know anything ather than a little bit of bash.
BTW, is there any way to install apt-get on openwrt?

Is the onion omega programmable by otg? Like, If i plug it in to my macbook with a data cable and ssh into it does the console show up? Also, does the omega send its own wifi signal? like a hotspot?
