@Peter-Buelow same issue here. Did you ever find a solution?

Hello @luz any further experience with mt76 driver? Disconnects, low-speed?

I really want to switch to a clean OpenWrt build to make use of kmods, but WiFi driver performance has not made it possible in the past.

Thank you very much @cas !

It seems we can either have performant WiFi (WarpCore) or kmods, but not both.
Unless each of us builds our own firmware as outlined by @Maximilian-Gerhardt http://community.onion.io/topic/2830/building-kernel-modules-for-the-omega2

I don't understand why Onion / @Lazar-Demin does not build all the OpenWrt packages? Is it a time/resources issue or something else?

Hello @cas

Two questions (excuse my ignorance):

1. Does this include Warpcore WiFi driver?

2. Is it possible to install kmods that are not compiled by Onion without getting "kernel version mismatch" (e.g. http://community.onion.io/topic/921/kernel-driver-version-mismatch)

Thanks

(edit: looking at the logs it seems it does. Any ideas on the second question?)

This is a known issue if you search the forums. kmods cannot be installed on Onion firmware as Onion has not published sources, except for a few kmods they have compiled themselves.

If you want to install other kmods you need to install a stock LEDE firmware (or the customized one from WereCatf). The problem there is that WiFi driver is still being developed resulting in slowness and reliability issues.

I've done this, using both LEDE snapshot and WereCatf's build. Both releases are far superior to what Onion provides and especially WereCatf's is splendid as it includes everything.

However, the main issue is WiFi driver. It is still unstable (disconnects every few minutes) and I have not seen it reaching speed beyond 6 MBit/s. I ended up adding an external usb WiFi adapter.

If you decide to go ahead, let us know your experience

it's difficult to say exactly why the packets are getting duplicated. However, one of the reasons could be that Omega AP has the same IP range as the router (ifconfig should tell you if this is the case).

Might be also worth connecting to your router with another device and pinging the same host to ensure that the router is not at fault.

@luz Did you remove the resistor as suggested by Ken Konrad, so as to disable the internal antenna?

Would anyone be willing to share the latest LEDE image from @WereCatf that I could download?

https://github.com/WereCatf/source

I have been trying to built it myself, but each compilation takes over 2 hours (I have an old laptop) and I keep getting an error that compilation is failing (perhaps due to my mis-configured environment).

Thanks!

Hi all,

I actually downloaded curl manually (ipk), from the openwrt (or lede) repository

@Colin-Hogben we've been asking for a very long time for the .config file. I faced your issues with a networking related kmod and just gave up. Other members have also faced issues with other kmods. Despite calls for open sourcing the project, as promised (see below), there is still no word from @Lazar-Demin or the Onion team

from their kickstarter campaign:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onion/onion-omega-invention-platform-for-the-internet-of/description

Ω Open Source

We are strong believers of open source and we strive to give back to the open source community. All hardware schematics, board design, and bill of materials will be made available to the community. In addition, the operating system and other system software on the Omega, as well as an API compatible version of the Onion Cloud, will be open sourced. Communications between the Omega and the Onion Cloud use open standards, which will allow you to hack and customize your Omega to your heart’s content.

Thanks @György-Farkas

I'm new to arduino, so does this mean that I cannot use the arduino-dock (v.1) with Omega2+?

Is there any way to access GPIO pins of Omega2+ through arduino-dock?

@frederic-raducki @rutayan-patro have you ever managed to get around this problem?

I am using arduino-dock (version 1) on Omega2+ and whenever I try to flash the bootloader I get AVR device not responding

I'm using avrdude: Version 6.1, compiled on Feb 3 2017 at 01:12:05

root@Omega:~# sh /usr/bin/arduino-dock flash bootloader
> Flashing bootloader...

avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.


avrdude done.  Thank you.

@luz you are right of course! I was trying for hours to setup arduino-dock (v.1) on my Omega2+ and getting that same error. Mistyped it without the spaces and that error disappeared. As expected arduino-dock still did not work

@Tech49 had the exact same problem, solved it by upgrading both curl and libcurl. It had nothing to do with CAs

check which library version is being loaded. Here's the output from mine:

root@Omega:~# curl -V
curl 7.53.1 (mipsel-openwrt-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.53.1 mbedTLS/2.4.2
Protocols: file ftp ftps http https
Features: IPv6 Largefile SSL

@Peter-Carr remove the space before and after ">" so:

echo 1>/sys/class/gpio/unexport

@Sean-Algate

You can disable wifimanager using the following commands

/etc/init.d/wifimanager stop
/etc/init.d/wifimanager disable

I had a similar problem, see my post:

http://community.onion.io/topic/1902/wifimanager-over-90-cpu-usage-omega2p

I'd be very interested in this as well. Anyone with this knowledge?

@György-Farkas said in wifimanager over 90% CPU usage - Omega2p:

@Venet
I am watching my O2+ via serial terminal and / or via ssh (connecting to Omega's Wifi AP).
I can not run wifimanager and top at the same to see that nice

%CPU
99 % {wifimanager}

How did you do that?

I see. On my Omega2 wifimanager was set to run on boot, so I didn't start it manually.

I think the problem with wifimanager is that if it is run manually it never completes (as others also found in another thread).

@György-Farkas said in wifimanager over 90% CPU usage - Omega2p:

How could I reproduce what you wrote?

@György-Farkas I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how to disable wifimanager?

If so this can be done through

/etc/init.d/wifimanager stop
/etc/init.d/wifimanager disable
