Hello!
I would like to know if the Omega2 LTE supports Videotron, a big wireless provider in Quebec, Canada. From, their support, I'm told:
https://support.videotron.com/residential/mobile/videotron-lte-network
I just downloaded the Omega2 Project Book that was part of my Kickstarter order. From a quick overlook ... Wow! Lots of content! Hard work! Very beautifully made! Thanks a lot to the Onion Team!
@Costas-Costas , if you launch your script from /etc/rc.local using &, /etc/rc.local will eventually terminate by itself. You just need to have a long enough sleep command inside your script.
I have the two little holes in the golden metal strips too, but no solder as you do. Btw, your photos are really sharp for the size! Nicely done!
There's a component soldered sideways near the SD card connector edge, the edge opposite to the card entrance. Not sure if it's connected or not because it's darker there.
Use the first Serial Port to help debug.

This is not a problem. This is by design to protect the GPIOs. The docs provide LED use examples here:
https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/expansion-dock.html
and
https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/using-gpios.html
PS: I'll admit that the expled command should be more intelligent, and ask the user to switch the GPIO LED pins to OUTPUT if it notices they are in INPUT mode (and the WARNING about switching to OUTPUT mode too, especially for cases where the Expansion Dock is not used).
Is this the kind a plastic that can cause static charges if rubbed against another material? If so, it's very dangerous for the CPU's life expectancy should a static discharge occur.
Well, now split in two threads... a merge would be nice.

@Zheng-Han said in Losing Data after power off:
Another possible cause I can think of is you tried to install the packages before your omega2 has fully initialized. Try making sure the orange led stopped flashing after boot.
Perhaps that the return to the COMMAND LINE should be delayed to prevent the problem from occurring.

DOUBLE POST! The conversation should resume here:
https://community.onion.io/topic/1061/access-point-questions
@Luciano-S. Is it you that told me to add the info to GitHub on a doc request that I once made? Well, what you preach applies to you as well.
@Costas-Costas The & at the end of a command is a request to run the command immediately in parallel (here, parallel to the boot process). This is the perfect technique for very long user made projects or script that runs continuously.
It's a bad idea to use & at the end of a sleep command line because it will run in parallel, thus having no effect at all on your boot process.
@Costas-Costas Any error reported in the system log files? Absolute paths to commands are needed in a system file. Maybe some of the needed system components are not fully loaded when you perform your request. Some people have added a sleep command in the script to give the system a better chance.
@Camilo-Giraldo How do you power off? Brutal, or wait for sync to run? Could you be more specific on the lost data? Although I haven't tested it, I wouldn't expect data in the /tmp directory to survive. However, installed packages are supposed to survive powerdown-powerup cycles.
The 7-seconds reset would indeed flush the installed packages (Factory reset command). Is this what you are doing?
@David-Price This post from Kit may be of help to you if you are referring to the Omega2:

The LEDE repository does have it!
@Mr.B As mentioned in other threads, a module not able to report the memory size it is supposed to have is the sign of a hardware problem. Follow up with Onion for a RMA case.
Perhaps a short? Visible solder bridges? You could share hires photos of what's visible. How many amps does your Expansion Dock take? Now, what is the serial output looking like?
