VoCore Forum

I disable its wifi by mistake but now when I plug it in win10 pc using USB to USB connection, the pc doesn't show message that there is a new device. Checking device manager show no new port or new device. Same thing with Win 8.1 pc and Win XP pc.. .

Check LPT/COM device in device manager. There should be one.I will upload a picture to vocore.io/v2 show that,

I make a tiny progress. I hook up micro usb to USB of ubuntu host. it shows as /dev/ttyACM0. I also installed Putty on the host. The LED light on vocore2 is purple not green, is it ok? How do I use putty to communicate? I tried many modes, ssh, Serial , ip address, host name, nothing worked.

Ye, if there is a device, you can use linux command "screen" connect to it. This might work: screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200,cs8
You do not have internet connection, so ssh, ip all not work.

the adventure continue...
I installed screen on ubuntu host then
from ubuntu host I type

stty -F ttyACM0 cs8 115200 ignbrk -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel -opost -onlcr -isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke noflsh -ixon -crtscts

screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200

But how do do i restore the wireless feature?

check /etc/config/wireless, fix it

You can also reboot the VoCore2 and reset everything back like it was when you got it using failsafe mode

Code: Select all

# reboot

You will see the shutdown process, the uboot startup with a 10 second countdown, Linux will start booting. Watch for "Press f for failsafe" and hit f and enter.

Now you can reset to the last loaded system with

Code: Select all

# firstboot -y

after it returns

Code: Select all

# reboot

again. It will take longer than normal to boot up, be patient.

Now you will be back to then default settings like when you got it.

success
I tried reboot, f, firstboot, reboot again and again then I suddenly saw vocore2 online. I did ctrl + D to get out of busybox session. I shutdown the Ubuntu host before unplug vocore2 from it. Now vocore2 hot spot is on again, thanks!!!!

I'm not sure how you got it unless you figured out that the firstboot command wasn't exactly correct. This is a bug in Chaos Calmer-

The command you need is

Code: Select all

firstboot -y

I edited my post above so it looks like I told you this originally.
