ArgusR, AMS1117 is too low power for Omega2+. Please use something in TO220 case - LF33, LM317, etc.
I am using LF33, it's cold. I installed it to small radiator, but it is unneeded by fact.

Pavel Negrobov

After any reconfiguration web-server you should restart it using command /etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
Config files don't reload automatically.

@crispyoz thank you

Hi, guys. How to enable ethernet and WiFi on this firmware?

@Modest-Polykarpovich Thanks, I'll try your manual.

Hi guys!

I need cmake build system on Omega2+, but I can't found ready cmake package, on OpenWRT repo also.
Then a tried to build cmake on omega, but compilation failed at last, link stage:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrt
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:2: cmake] Error 1
---------------------------------------------
Error when bootstrapping CMake:
Problem while running make

How to build cmake or where to obtain ready package?
Or where find these libraries (libdl and librt)?

Thanks.

PS.
Build process required a lot of memory, I use 1GB swap on SD card.

@crispyoz I will do this later when I will finish my python soft, I need to check chdir to russian named dirs and read files.

Mounting USB drive with shortname=mixed option fixes this bug

/bin/mount -o codepage=1251,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

Problem solved.

Pavel Negrobov

Some experiments show that this bug present only on FAT32 disks.
On exFAT and NTFS all good - женщина.bmp -- file, not a directory.

Hi guys.
I have a USB flash with files with russian names. This is from windows:

Note that женщина.bmp is file.
Same USB flash in omega2:

As you can see 'женщина.bmp' - directory, not a file!
Why? How to avoid this?

Hi, guys!
I need to use USB flash contain russian filenames (written in Windows). Default mounts:

ls command gives errors:

Filename, which produces error is '/mnt/sda1/женщина.bmp'. If I read USB flash directory in python, this file also "absent". OSError, IOError does not happens.

Centos7 mounts the same flash with parameters:

/dev/sdb1 /run/media/pavel/FLASH8 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,
                                       fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,
                                       shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro 0 0

I tried this:

~# mount -o codepage=cp437,nls=ascii /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
[ 3295.091098] ntfs: (device sda1): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option codepage.
[ 3295.163115] ntfs: (device sda1): parse_options(): NLS character set ascii not found.
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 failed: Invalid argument

But Omega's Linux does not understand this .

How I should mount USB flash to avoid these errors?

Firmware is latest 0.3.3 b251

@crispyoz said in Some WiFi and ethernet connection questions (or bugs?):

I have a of workaround you could use if you can't reboot. Stop the wifi using the command wifi down. Unload the wifi module: rmmod mt_wireless, reload it: insmod mt_wireless then restart wifi using: wifi up. That works but it's a bit rough.

My omega does not have mt_wireless kernel module, but have mt_wifi:

root@Omega-3079:/# lsmod | grep mt_wireless
root@Omega-3079:/# lsmod | grep mt_wi
mt_wifi              1360203  2

And this sequence seems works correctly:

/usr/bin/wifisetup add -ssid ZyXEL_GIGA_III -encr psk2 -password invalid_pass
/usr/bin/wifisetup remove -ssid ZyXEL_GIGA_III
/sbin/wifi down
rmmod mt_wifi
insmod mt_wifi
/sbin/wifi up
/usr/bin/wifisetup add -ssid ZyXEL_GIGA_III -encr psk2 -password valid_pass

I will add these commands to my program and check again.

Thank you.

Pavel Negrobov

@crispyoz said in Some WiFi and ethernet connection questions (or bugs?):

When you use wifisetup command and pass an incorrect password, then the wifi cannot be resolved unless you reboot and fix the password. Correct?

Assuming my understanding is correct, I think the solution is to:

delete the wifi setup with the incorrrect password (wifisetup remove -ssid <ssid name>)

add the wifi setup with the correct password

Yes, you understood correctly. My Omega does not connect after error in password. Full log:

@crispyoz said in Some WiFi and ethernet connection questions (or bugs?):

@Pavel-Negrobov Issue one will result if your password is too short for the requirement of psk2, you need at least 8 characters.

If you screw up your network and then fix it but it still won't come up, use the command service network restart this restarts all your network related stuff and would usually sort out these types of things.

1st question ok, I understood, thanks.
2nd - 'service network restart' command does not helps
I checked it many times.

Pavel Negrobov

Thanks to all

Hello, guys!
I have found some strange with Omega2+ ethernet link.

At start ethernet cable is disconnected. ubus utility confirms this:

# /bin/ubus call network.interface.wan status
{
        "up": false,
        "pending": true,
        "available": true,
        "autostart": true,
        "dynamic": false,
        "proto": "dhcp",
        "device": "eth0",
        "data": {

        }
}

After ethernet cable connect:
'''

All good. Now I disconnect cable and call utility to check network state:

As I can see ethernet kernel driver works correctly, utility fails. After reboot all ok.

Hi, guys!
I faced a some problems with WiFi/ethernet connections on Omega2+, last firmware 0.3.3 b247.

Bug (?) in wifisetup script:

# /usr/bin/wifisetup add -ssid ZyXEL_GIGA_III -encr psk2 -passw
ord xxx
sh: ERROR:: unknown operand
sh: ERROR:: unknown operand
# echo $?
0

What does it mean??? Looks like a bug.
2. WiFi driver/subsystem stops work after attempt to connect with invalid password:

# /usr/bin/wifisetup add -ssid ZyXEL_GIGA_III -encr psk2 -password invalid_pass

After reboot Omega correctly connects to AP. How to force connection and avoid this reboot?
I also tried

# /bin/ubus call network.wireless up
# wifi

This does not helps.
3. Ethernet cable is disconnected. ubus utility confirms this:

# /bin/ubus call network.interface.wan status

}

After ethernet cable connect:
