This is a hardware problem of the Omega2+ (so further details -> probably off topic for here). But in short: The SPI flash chip must be in 3-byte mode for the MT7688 to start the way CHIP_MODE pins are wired in the Omega2. A power cycle resets the flash to 3 byte mode, however just a SoC reset does not, and if the SPI chip is in 4 byte mode when the reset occurs, the MT7688 will try to boot in 3 byte mode from a chip that is in 4 byte mode. This is only a problem for the 32M flash, as it needs 4-byte addresses. The Omega2 (non +) with 16M flash is thus not affected, it stays in 3 byte mode all the time. See [1] for a hardware solution Onion suggests for the Omega2S+ (the SMT version), which has the flash VDD exposed separately, so this does not work for the THT Omega2+ :-( Best Regards Lukas [1] https://github.com/OnionIoT/Omega2/blob/master/Documents/Omega2S%20Hardware%20Design%20Guide.pdf
