Onion Omega2+ IoT Computer
Onion Omega2+ IoT Computer (OM-O2P) is the heart of the Omega2 IoT Development Platform. This Linux-based, Wi-Fi®-enabled development board is designed to allow makers of all skill levels to build connected hardware applications. Plug in the Omega, and it will boot the operating system right away, allowing you to develop in your favorite programming language, create web applications, and interface with a variety of hardware with minimal time and effort spent getting started.The Omega2+ is based on the MT7688 SoC (System on Chip) that features a 580MHz MIPS CPU, supports 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi as well as 10M/100M Wired Ethernet Network connectivity, and operates at 3.3V. The Omega2+ comes with 128MB of DDR2 DRAM memory and 32MB of onboard flash storage. The storage space is expandable using the MicroSD card slot on the underside of the Omega2+.
The Omega2+ was built to interact with other hardware, so it has a wide variety of hardware interfaces. It has dedicated pins for USB2.0 and Ethernet as well as 12 GPIO pins that can be controlled by the user. These GPIOs can support the I2C, UART, and SPI serial communication protocols. The Omega2+ can be plugged directly into any of a number of Docks provided by Onion. Each Dock can be powered by a standard MicroUSB cable and adds unique functionality to the Omega2+, including exposing the Omega’s GPIOs, supporting the plug and play Omega Expansions, adding USB connectivity, adding Arduino connections, and more.
