They released a Blog article discussing this very thing yesterday, May 1st

I missed original Onion and during the O2 campaign I emailed them and they no longer have stock of original Onions but they gave me some links to those who still had them for sale.

This was early on but if you like I can relay them here if you wish.

Cheers,

Yep, thought I was right.. It's just a NC so it's bridged and even on the schematic.

I believe that 'bridged pin' is intended however the mess on the shield is not. Double check mine once I can and the datasheet but when I last looked that was a common pin so they just bridge it.

Counterfeit?

That is odd and the first time I've heard of this. Did @op purchase directly from Onion? Weird!

Yep, agreed. Don't half-ass things.

@Gian-Carlo-Salvati

Also, below is the driver that came 'stock' setup in the firmware.. If you deduce which one you wish to try let me know and I can attempt to merge in and rebuild for you. Lastly, Omega2 or 2+ just in case we do get to rebuild it for you

@Gian-Carlo-Salvati

Awesome!

As for the WiFi driver I'm not sure. I used what was packaged in the Docker image from another user. If by chance you have used Docker the image is pretty straight forward and once you build the toolchain & tools binaries (which takes me about 1 hour roughly on an 6/12 core i7 49230K @ 3.4ghz) it builds in roughly 20 mins thereafter. If not Docker, you should still be able to use Linux and pull the source but you'll have to do some configuration up-front.

I'm just glad the NFS works but again, sorry on the WiFi

Does you SSID by chance have a hyphen - in the name or an overly long name? Those 2 things have been discussed here recently to having it not connect to wifi.

Also, what is you network.config 'uci show network' listed as? Does your wifi support DHCP or fixed IP's? If it's not setup for DHCP it won't get an IP address even though it see's it. Lots to try and test but not sure what you've already tried.

SFTP/FTP for transferring files -or- place them on the SD and then mount it on the Omega?

@Gian-Carlo-Salvati

Here is the github repo with 2 files: one for the Omega2 and one for the Omega2+
Choose your version, download and flash.

https://github.com/Ictinike/Omega2-firmware

BEWARE, however, that I may not be able to help you get back to default firmware if something goes wrong with the flash but I have helped someone recover their Omega2+ from constant reboot due to a bad firmware from Onion.

If we get to that point, let me know and we can help you with a dock and USB if you have them. If not, you may have to use a TTL2USB adapter and go serially. This would be NO different if you flashed a bad firmware from Onion so while I give you the BEWARE it's something you may have to do eventually, lol..

Here is the option I enabled from default firmware:

Cheers,

@Gian-Carlo-Salvati

Started to build then I remembered there are Omega2 and Omega2+.
If you have time before the build of the firmware, let me know which you want.

If I don't hear back from you before I'm done building the Omega2 (plain) I'll just spin the configuration for the Omega2+ and make you one of each, lol.

Cheers,

Ahh OK then yeah the firmware must be compiled with those driver enabled.
Have you tried compiling the firmware? There is a post here on how to use Docker and a pre-built image that a community member has built.

I was able to compile my own firmware and saw the options to include the kernel driver AS seen in the image below. If you can get the Docker image (or other way) to compile the firmware; you could also include this kernel driver in the firmware and flash and test it.

Below is the Omega2 firmware 'make menuconfig' option showing the nfs file system kernel driver. If you want, I can try to take the defaults and add this driver in and build the firmware. I could then host it on my GitHub and you could download and try to flash it from there. Would just take me a bit of time but BE FORE WARNED that while I'm sure I could get it to compile, and have done it with other OpenWRT builds and boards; I cannot say it won't strand you but making the device unusable. All attempts at this source is to share with the community BUT you take all risks in knowing how, what to do if problems occur.

Let me know and I can compile for you with some options (if you know them) and the nfs module and you could test.
Cheers,

@Gian-Carlo-Salvati said in nfs mount..:

@Richard-Berg thansk, but I already installed this package.

What happens is there is no kernel driver available forthis system.
Then mount command shows there is no device ..

Great project and write up!

You can install nano if you add, I believe, the Lede package links to your opkg sources. There are plenty of others who have done this and I'm sure you can search to find them.

I have the 6M-NEO from Onion Kickstarter and while the on-board antenna is not working well, I picked up an Active 28db Antenna off of eBay which locks on fast! I'll be thinking about mobile GPS related projects myself in the future and I'm sure will use your work as help or basis in the future.

Cheers!

@José-Luis-Cánovas

Thanks again for you work on the Omega2 dockerfile! It has given me some good examples to work from and pilfer a bit of your work on another board I'm working with; the VoCore2

Here is my new dockerfile, albeit in constant tweak/modification, for said work.

https://hub.docker.com/r/ictinike/vocore2-default/

Thanks again!

Here are the images I took for someone who was asking earlier..

@Costas-Costas said in Build your own power supply wiki:

When will something like this be available at a sensible price?

Just making sure.. That is the original Onion breadboard board?

They have one for the Omega2 line and anyone on KS who spent $$ > something like 70$ got one for free. I cannot discuss it's price and things of that nature but if you were asking if one exists; yes it does.

Greets!

I also have had issues with PHP and nginx but on a Raspberry PI flavor board and I found this link to be helpful in getting it up and running with a MySQL database and Zabbix system monitoring a time ago.

You of course will have to adapt it to the Omega environment but it may give you some ideas of how or what you may have missed.

Setting up PHP, Nginx and FastCGI

Good Luck!

Since you've done the opkg list | grep <name> already and it listed these:

nfs-kernel-server - 2.1.1-1 - Kernel NFS server support
nfs-kernel-server-utils - 2.1.1-1 - NFS server utils
nfs-utils - 2.1.1-1 - Updated mount.nfs command - allows mounting nfs4 volumes

You might see that the package name nfs-utils has the tools for mounting nfs4 volumes..

So if that's the case then do a:

opkg install nfs-utils

?

@José-Luis-Cánovas
Doh! I figured you would have had something and sorry I missed it mate!

For me, who has some experience in Linux and other older *nix systems I tend to have my 'creature comforts' like always having apt-get updated and nano for an editor (not that vi/vim is bad; I just use nano easier, lol) and things like that. Please don't add anything like that because what you have is great. I just wanted to install nano this round and couldn't but with the above start then exec as root; I was able to update and install.

Also, I am working on another SBC named VoCore2 which also employs OpenWRT (not LeDe yet) and I was working with a similar environment but within VMWare. Docker might make that compilation easier as well so may take note of your Docker setup (which I've never really used) and make my own for the VoCore2 board!

Cheers
