@Larry-Pinney Indeed, this is FOSS, embrace the community, Onion!

@Duane-Morin Onion devs previously explained, that kernel modules must be build on the same machine that the kernel was build. Thats why you can't install kmod* packages from LEDE repository when using OnionOS, even if kernels are exactly the same.
You have to build an image yourself, along with wanted kernel modules.

@Iker Its a no-go for me without working WiFi... It would be great if you'd share how to have preconfigured working wifi with LEDE.

@Costas-Costas said in [SOLVED]Question about building custom image:

@administrators can you please enable /dev/mem and rebuild the firmware to fix the broken Fast-gpio ?

I do 2nd that.

gpsfile=open('/root/gpsinfo.txt', 'r')
gpsinfo=gpsfile.read()

read() method returns string here, as you are simply reading a file.

If this is the actual data from the file, with double quotes around key names and values:

{"age":6357,"latitude":"38.1234","longitude":"-80.1234","elevation":"1234.5","course":"12.34","speed":"N"}

Then you can use json to load it up. This should work:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import json

from pprint import pprint


with file('/root/gpsinfo.txt', 'r') as gpsfile:
    gpsinfo = json.load(gpsfile)

age = gpsinfo['age']
lat = gpsinfo['latitude']
lon = gpsinfo['longitude']
elv = gpsinfo['elevation']
cou = gpsinfo['course']
spd = gpsinfo['speed']

pprint(("Age: " + age,
        "Latitude: " + lat,
        "Latitude: " + lon,
        "Longitude: " + elv,
        "Course: " + cou,
        "Speed: " + spd))

exit()

@Lazar-Demin said in omega2 plus sdcard not working:

Expect new articles on running the Omega's OS from an SD card in the near future!

YES! YES!!

We'll also be updating the wiki to differentiate between the classic Omega and the Omega2!

Stay tuned!

Give the community the keys to edit wiki ourselves.

Tested with my new 256GB sdcard and it finally works! With 0.1.8 b145:

[ 4763.886240] mmc0: new high speed SDXC card at address 2143
[ 4763.893261] mmcblk0: mmc0:2143 APPSD 250 GiB 
[ 4763.899335]  mmcblk0: p1
[ 4763.902012] mmcblk0: p1 size 524352600 extends beyond EOD, truncated

@Brad-Buskey Your welcome. And share your projects!

P.S. fixed a typo in my code sample.

That would be a neat customization for those of us, who do not connect serial devices through the docks. @WereCatf, maybe you could advise?

@WereCatf said in GPL Source Code:

@Kit-Bishop That wouldn't do you much good, because they have extra customizations besides just the .config, like e.g.the proprietary Wi-Fi driver.

Wait, so what happens if I flash LEDE into Omega2+? It'll use generic foss WiFi drivers or something?

@Brad-Buskey said in Sill no SD Card:

I had to create the /mnt/sdc dir before it would properly mount. Those are not created automatically.

Default behavior is to mount card and usb-storage (if you are running on dock) under /tmp/mounts.

@Lazar-Demin said in Omega2+ cannot install kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage-extra kernel version mismatch:

@Tamas-Kende @Kit-Bishop @WereCatf
As of version 0.1.7 the Omega can install additional kernel modules, please see the docs site for details: https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/software-using-opkg.html#onion-package-repo

In a nutshell, opkg only allows installation of kernel modules compiled by the same machine that generated the firmware image, so as to avoid disaster. To remedy this, we're hosting our own core and base package repos. As a result, there will be some difference in the selection of packages hosted by us and by the LEDE repos. If you would like to see something added please let us know and we'll do our best to get it up in a timely manner.

In that case, I need:
kmod-batman-adv
batctl

to be able to run meshnetworking on Omega.

I'v got myself TTL COM PC-PL2303HX recently, its a TTL UART - USB converter. Works well with Ubuntu and Omega.
