Power Up
Unbox and hardware setup
This section assumes you have an Omega2 device and an Expansion dock. If you didn't purchase an Expansion dock, see our guide on powering the Omega without a dock.
Unpack the device
Unpack your Omega2 and Expansion Dock from their boxes.
Connect the device
Plug your Omega2 into the socket on the Expansion Dock, making sure the Omega2’s pins are securely seated in the socket.
Connect the dock to a computer
Plug the microUSB cable into your Omega2 and connect the other end to the USB port on your computer. This provides power to the Omega2 as well as a connection with Omega2’s command line utility.
All Omega Docks have voltage regulators so the USB port can power the Omega2 with the required 3.3Vdc.
Power on
Turn on your Omega2 using the switch.
Wait until it boots
The amber LED on your Omega2 should turn on and start blinking after about 10 seconds. The LED will stop blinking and remain solid after about a couple of minutes. This means your Omega2 has completed its boot sequence.
Congratulations, your Omega2 is now powered up and you're ready to further explore your device.
If the amber LED on your Omega2 turns on and stays on, wait for a minute to allow your Omega2 to complete its boot.
