Maybe silly question, but... did you press ENTER in that console? Should login prompt show up after that.

Look at https://community.onion.io/topic/1260/omega2-wifi-shut-down-apcli-link-down/7

You could modify my script to run in cron and check if it's connected to any AP and if not, restart wifimanager. Should help in your case.

Cron version would look like this:

#!/bin/sh

AP=$(iwconfig apcli0| awk '/Access Point: .*/ {print $5}')

if [ "$AP" = "Not-Associated" ] ; then
        logger -t wifi-watch "WiFi not assosiated, restarting wifimanager";
        ifconfig apcli0 up
        wifimanager
fi

Check if you have both libonioni2c and pyOnionI2C installed in same version:

$ opkg list-installed| grep -i onioni2c
libonioni2c - 0.5-1
pyOnionI2C - 0.5-1

Probably you have incompatible version of libonioni2c. Upgrade it.

Just follow LEDE instructions (Omega2 OS is a fork of LEDE):

https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/compile_packages_for_lede_with_the_sdk

Short instruction:

Download SDK from https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/ramips/mt7688/
Unpack, enter, run: make menuconfig
In menu "Global Build Settings" unselect ALL (including "Cryptographically sign package list"
Exit menu (saving config)
Run: make (or make -j4 or make -j9 depending on how meny CPUs/Cores you have)

Voila, you got working SDK buildroot for ramips MT7688 (Omega2) Rest is the same as all others cross-compile buildroots (export env STAGING_DIR as $BUILDROOT/staging_dir/toolchain-mipsel_24kc_gcc-5.4.0_musl-1.1.16/bin/, export PATH with STAGING_DIR as first in chain, etc).

If using e.g. make, remember to use variables for corss-compile:

CC=mipsel-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc
CCC=mipsel-openwrt-linux-musl-g++
CXX=mipsel-openwrt-linux-musl-g++

If you need configuration for IDEs (like Netbeans) let me know. All you need to do is setup new configuration with custom paths to buildroot compilators.

P.S. In future, remember to NOT download and use buildroots/SDKs from unofficial sources like dropbox, etc, it's a big security risk.

Just use as it was any other PC. Just use telnetlib, asyncio or any other library (may need to install package).

P.S. Remember to upvote answers if they fit your needs

Yes, Ethernet interface is already in your system. Board adds only phisical layer (M3066ANL votage transformer + RJ45 connector).
