Also I notice these warning in the output that relate directly to findutils. The following modules are present but are not usable, resulting in the 'bug' warning for 'findutils'.

The above make and gcc details are from my work machine, not my main machine at home, but this has the same errors and is running 20.04.2 LTS the same as my home machine, and both are fully up-to-date and should be setup identical.

Also, I notice in the output:
"checking whether we are cross compiling... no"
I would have though that we are cross compiling to build libraries for the omega?

I have attached a zip file (you will need to change the extension from .bin) which contains two files.

the build.log file is the file from :
make -j1 V=s > build.log

the build.terminal.log is a copy of the output on the terminal during the build process.

Thanks
build.bin

build.bin
I have added the build log.
Note that it has started to fail much earlier in the build now (at the build of sed instead of findutils). This happens on two separate machines.
Thanks for any insight.

I didnt see this previously as the errors scrolled off the page, but it seems that the errors are in
$ sh scripts/onion-feed-setup.sh

I get the following warnings when running scripts/onion-feed-setup.sh:

I tried addressing this with the following but it did not work:
$ sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev libgnutls28-dev libldap2-dev libidn2-0-dev libssh2-1-dev liblzma-dev libnet-snmp-perl

Im not sure if I need to provide these packages as architecture specific but I cant find mips versions of them

I don't know why the problem occurred with the config file. I was using the work computer for the last attempt when I downloaded the .config file.

I am back on my main machine where I have checked each time that I am using Media Ralink MIPS/MT76x8 based coards/Multiple Devices/Onion Omega 2 & Onion Omega 2.

However, things have deteriorated on my main machine. I cant even get as far as I did previously. Here are the exact steps I have done using a clean install

$ git clone https://github.com/OnionIoT/source.git
$ cd source
$ sh scripts/onion-feed-setup.sh
$ sh scripts/onion-minimal-build.sh
( Also tried adding $ python scripts/onion-setup-build.py but same result)

Edit: /usr/include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h line 31
from: extension typedef unsigned long long __64;
to: typedef uint64_t __64;
This prevents errors with __u64 different typedef's

$ make menuconfig
Target System : MediaTek Ralink MIPS default
Subtarget : MT76x8 based boards default
Target Profile: Multiple Devices default

   Added: 
               Development: gdb
                Libraries: libgpiod
   Save and exit

$ make -j1 V=s

The .config file is attached:

Previously 'make' went way past this point.
Dont know why the compile is failing even earlier than it did before on a clean 'git'

config.bin

The config file is attached. I had to rename it from .config to config.bin so I could upload it. You will need to rename it correctly before using it.

Thanks

Immediately before the 'findutils failure', there is more error information:

checking for BEOS mounted file system support functions... no
checking whether it is possible to resort to fread on /etc/mnttab... no
configure: error: could not determine how to read list of mounted file systems

make: *** [/home/lachlan/omega/source/include/toplevel.mk:218: world] Error 2

It seems from what I can find on the web, the problem with 'findutils' is because there is no way to determine the mounted file systems.

There are references on the web that say this can be worked around by disabling the error. An example is:
https://github.com/StephanTLavavej/mingw-distro/blob/master/coreutils.patch

However, I can't find the reference to "could not determine how to read mounted file systems" in any Makefile or configure file. Therefore it is difficult to determine a work around.

Any ideas ?

@Lachlan-Peter

Note: There is a different folder and different makefile for 'findutils' in 'tools' and 'package/feeds/packages/findutils'. It is the 'tools' version that is giving the problem. menuconfig probably disables the package created in Utilities.

@crispyoz

In menuconfig, all findutils are not enabled (findutils-find, findutils-locate, findutils-args).
This is not where the problem lies.

The problem is the Makefile in 'tools' that makes 'findutils'. You can see in my original post that it is the tools/Makefile where the error occurs.

Unfortunately I cannot remove 'findutils' from the Makefile as it is a requirement for building 'quilt'. If I remove the entry for 'findutils' in 'tools/Makefil' at line 28, I get the follwing error:

time: tools/patch-image/compile#0.04#0.01#0.09
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'tools/findutils/compile', needed by 'tools/quilt/compile'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source'

There is nothing in the tools/findutils/Makefile that helps me determine the problem.

Any further ideas?

log.bin

Have attached the output of the make command.
The system wont let me attach a txt file so I have renamed the log.txt file to log.bin.
You will need to change the .bin back to .txt to read the log.

The last part of the log file where the error is in my original post.

I presume the screen output is what you mean by the build log file as I cannot find any other log file in the make directory or its subdirectories

Still has the same error using onion-minimal-build

Any other ideas?

Thanks

I am building the source for cross development to Omega2/2+ from Ubuntu 20.4.
I am following this guide:
https://github.com/OnionIoT/source
but a number of errors occurs.
I have used this process before on Ubuntu 16 and it worked ok.

I have solved the error with the mismatched type for __u64

I still get the following error:

configure: error: could not determine how to read list of mounted file systems
make[3]: *** [Makefile:22: /home/lachlan/omega/source/build_dir/host/findutils-4.6.0/.configured] Error 1

make: *** [/home/lachlan/omega/source/include/toplevel.mk:218: world] Error 2

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem:
I cannot find where in the make system this error comes from, so I cant determent the source of the problem.

Any ideas would be well received

Are you able to share the changes to the conceptinetics code you used with the omega?
The conceptinetics DMX library directly manipulates the AVR UART registers which dont exist on the Omega.
How have you changed the library to work with a Linux controlled Serial port that doesn not allow direct hardware access.

Thanks

Any update on a low power mode for the omega2 series?

I have been working with SAMA5 giantboard (atmel/debian/WIN1500 wifi) which is suppose to have a low power mode, but I cant get the wifi to power down so i cant get below 55mA in sleep mode. I have a Toradex iMX6UUL Wifi module which works fine (< 1ma in sleep) but this is a very large board and requires an SSID 200 pin connector.

Anyone had any luck with any other Linux/wifi boards that can go into sleep mode. I bought a lot of Omegas and simply power them down and power them up but that takes over 2 minutes

I am looking for a Linux board that can go into sleep at < 1mA (like the giantboard) but with the ability to turn wifi on and off (or low power mode) a well(the wifi is used as an AP).

I have successfully used SAML21 processor with WIN1500 wifi but unfortunately this does not support Linux and i need to provide w Web Server and USB camera interface.

Any ideas ? Maybe the ESP based boards which are really cheap? any ideas?

Could you please share details of the repository where you found the gdbserver package?

Thanks

The Omega2S would be a great device and much more reliable in a product as it has built in eMMC instead of SD card and does away with pin/socket connection thus removing all mechanical connections. It is very easy to build the omega2s into a PCB with a project. One example is to make a board with a USB hub chip than can increase the interface capabilities and a I2C ADC converter, plus Zigbee or LoRa radio for communications (all SMT products).
However, the Omega2S only comes in volumes of 250.
Therefore it is difficult to prototype with, and you also need production volumes of greater than 250 which is a bit large for organizations developing products with potential markets but not guaranteed markets.

I am using Omega1 and have installed the latest operating system and done a factory reset (so there are no additional files of mine on the device), but I have no available space in the file system.

using $ df -h I get
/dev/root Size: 7.5M Used:7.5M Used: 100% Mounted on: /rom
/dev/mtdblock3 Size: 7.5M Used:7.3M Used: 100% Mounted on:/overlay

If i try $ opkg install packagex
I get the error: only have 0kb available space on filesystem /overlay Cannot install package

Any ideas how this problem can be fixed?
Thanks

I have downloaded python-light and tried running programs using import "time" and import "random" modules. Using functions in these modules fail because they both rely on import "location" which, according to python does not exist.

I am using omega1. I am restricted to python-light as standard python is too large to fit on the device.

Can anyone advise how I can fix this problem, or how I can provide the "location" module into python-light ?

Thanks
