Today, we’re excited to introduce the Omega2 Eval Boards!
The new Omega2 Eval Boards are built to streamline your experience with the Omega2 IoT modules – from the very first prototype to a final, production-ready device. By bringing nearly all of the Omega2’s capabilities together on a single, compact board, these Eval Boards make it easier than ever to prototype, develop, and ship your connected projects.
For you, this means less time spent juggling different boards and expansions, and more freedom to focus on what matters most: bringing your ideas to life. By streamlining the entire process, the Eval Boards help you stay motivated, creative, and productive—whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a first-time builder.
Available in two variants – one with the classic through-hole Omega2+ module and another featuring the surface-mount Omega2S+ – these Eval Boards offer immediate, hands-on access to all of the Omega2’s I/O pins, an integrated Ethernet port for easy networking, USB-C for power and serial command line access, a MicroSD slot for expanded storage, and more. This combination of features eliminates the need for multiple add-ons and expansions. In particular, the Omega2S Eval Board delivers the expanded functionality of the Omega2S at a more accessible price than any previous solution.
We’ve also introduced new firmware based on OpenWRT 23.05, providing a modern, lightweight foundation that’s easier to customize, and a new documentation site to go along with it. With faster builds and less time spent on the getting the basics working, you’ll enjoy a smoother, more direct path to getting your ideas running in the real world.
