@Federico-Corazza

That's a bit more complex than it may seem on the surface....

IS your card using a M$ file system?
And if so WHY?
Remember Friends don't let friends use WINDO$E

See also my recent post in relation to using pivot-overlay (and/or pivot-root) on the Omega2 to get more system disk space using a USB drive (or SD card?) : https://community.onion.io/topic/1295/more-system-disk-space-using-pivot-overlay-and-pivot-root-on-the-omega2

Again ... it's the Device Tree Source file....without crediting the proper authors

Thanks for your contribution !

This should prove to be helpful.

Ahh...YES

However those packages should ALREADY be installed.

What makes you think one would ever want to put an SDcard in the Omega2+ and then actually use it?

@Lazar-Demin Exactly how would you like us to help? A pull-request against your tree, or instructions on what to do, or should I just take over and make the pull-request against LEDE-official, or what?

Asleep at the wheel again?

Please TELL us how you would like to proceed.
We have supplied superior code!
And the community is waiting.

What OS do you plan to port ???

Cheap CH341A USB programmer plus a DIP8 Adapter
Works fine with flashrom

flashrom -p ch341a_spi
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q128.V" (16384 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi.
No operations were specified.

Too expensive you say?

Try a SOP8 to DIP8 adapter something like this one

@Lazar-Demin

At the moment the github by @WereCatf seems to be the "most correct" available....could use a bit more tweaking.

The LEDE project plans to have it's first release very soon... 17.01 branch is due on Monday the 16th
Having your device in a stable release would be an enormous benefit to the users.

@Rick-Gibson

The solution is to change the MAC in the "factory" partition.

Make a copy of the partition described here :
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.backup

Edit the MAC ... Maybe use http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Ghex

Build firmware with the "factory" partition set writable.
Edit the Device Tree Source file
Remove ' read-only; ' from the partition define

Then install your edited "factory" partition.

This should be covered under warranty ....

AMS1117 @ 2 AMPS ? Please check the datasheet.

One AMS1117 should be more than enough

Bad Magic Number,FFFFFFFF = Blank or NON existent Flash Chip

Try a USB Upgrade.

Always keep in mind that it is the purpose of the GPL to enable the users to exercise his freedoms.
Specifically, the freedom to make modified versions of the program, and to run such modified versions of the program.

Thanks for your contribution to Open Source Software...

@luz

Yes that seems to be correct...I have the Omega2+ not a Omega2.

@Gabriel-Ongpauco said in SD Card?:

@Thomas-Kowalski

We have a fix on the way soon. Sorry for the delays!

Yes ... it's called a new device tree file to replace the defective one found on the product.

Onion Corporation = Code Bogarts

They should push the code plus whatever they modified...as required by the GPL

Anyone can see the patch here :

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/713750/

Good luck with that :

OnionIoT/uboot forked from pinney/AR93xx-u-boot_mod

Onion Corporation = Code Bogarts

Well...I think it's related to the bootloader....it always boots when powered on.

Nearest x86 equivalent could be "defined" in the BIOS....
Sorry we have NO BIOS today.

With a device such as the Omega2...

Is the halt/shutdown command "really" useful?

Nice ..tend to agree...
But reboot seems to be used in practice much more often.

I have patched the kernel to reset the device.

With this patch one can issue the command 'reboot' and the device will reboot.

Users that would like to test the firmware built from werecatfs github can e-mail me.

@SukkoPera
@administrators

The device is NOT being reset into 3 byte address mode.

So...It's BROKEN

Please consult the MediaTek Datasheet
