Onion Omega2S & Omega2S+

The Omega2S is a smaller, surface-mount packaged version of the through-hole Omega2, designed for IoT applications that require drop-in connectivity and computing.

The 34mm x 20mm x 2.8mm package is based on the MT7688 SoC and features a CPU, memory, flash storage, and a WiFi radio. It supports a wide variety of I/O protocols, with 42-pins available to the developer. The module is self-contained and only requires a power supply and an external WiFi antenna to operate. The pre-loaded Linux Operating System reduces development time by allowing the use of existing software package and high-level programming languages. This module is precertified for FCC and CE, further reducing time to market in the fast-moving world of IoT.

Differences from Omega2

The Onion Omega2S is the surface-mount packaged version of the Omega2, designed specifically for high volume production due to its low profile, extended feature-set, and production friendly design.

The specific differences from the Omega2 are as follows:

  • Surface-mount module form-factor
  • Low profile, measuring 34x20x2.8 mm
  • 63 total pins compared to 32 pins on Omega2
  • Pins for SD/eMMC are available on the pinout - no MicroSD slot
  • Features 3 UARTs, compared to 2 on the Omega2
  • Features 4 PWM channels, compared to 2 on the Omega2
  • Exposes SPI Chip-Select 0 (CS0) pin
  • No on-board antenna - features Antenna signal pin and U.FL connector
  • No on-board system status LED - features system status pin for connection to external LED
  • Does not have built-in pull-up resistors on I2C bus - requires external pull-up resistors
