우표만한 리눅스 서버 정식 출시…가격은 단돈 5달러
어니언이 정식 출시한 오메가2(Omega2) 컴퓨터는 와이파이를 내장하고 온보드 플래시 보드를 갖춘 초소형 컴퓨터로, 하드웨어 DIY 애호가나 IoT 애플리케이션용으로 사용할 수 있다. 어니언은 오메가2가 아두이노 메인보드와 호환되지만, 라즈베리 파이의 유연성을 갖추고 있다고 강조했다.
오는 12월부터 초기 구매자들에게 출하될 오메가2는 두 가지 모델로 판매된다. 5달러짜리 기본 모델은 64MB RAM과 16MB 플래시 스토리지를, 9달러짜리 플러스 모델은 128MB RAM에 32MB 플래시 스토리지, 그리고 마이크로SD 슬롯을 제공한다. 두 모델 모두 580MHz CPU를 사용한다.
이동통신이나 블루투스, GPS 연결을 지원하기 위한 확장 기능도 제공한다. 전원과 스토리지를 연결하는 데 필요한 도크의 가격은 20달러. 어니언은 컴퓨터와 확장 도크, 마이크로 USB 케이블, 키패드, LED 화면, 기타 여러 가지 부품을 묶은 스타터 키트를 75달러에 판매한다.
어니언은 인디고고 캠페인을 시작하며 “진입 장벽을 낮추어 모두가 하드웨어 개발에 뛰어들 수 있도록 하고자 한다”고 취지를 밝힌 바 있다.
어니언의 설명에 따르면, 오메가2는 바로 사용할 수 있는 상태로, 와이파이 동글을 연결하거나 외장 SD 카드에 운영체제를 설치할 필요도 없다. 어니언은 오메가2를 사용해 만든 여러 가지 프로젝트도 소개했는데, LED를 이용한 벽면 장식부터 에어플레이 음악 스트리밍 디바이스, 무선 조종 로봇까지 다양하다. 또한, 직관적인 사용 설명서와 다른 앱을 볼 수 있는 앱스토어도 제공한다. editor@itworld.co.kr

About this project
Omega2: $5 Linux Computer with Wi-Fi, Made for IoT
$672,801
Introducing the Omega2, the $5 IoT computer.
What the heck is an IoT computer? It is a Linux computer designed specifically for building connected hardware applications. It combines the tiny form factor and power-efficiency of the Arduino, with the power and flexibilities of the Raspberry Pi.
- The Omega2 is simple, even for people who are just getting started with building hardware.
- The Omega2 is affordable, starting at just $5.
With the Omega2, we want to lower the barrier of entry, and allow everyone to take the leap into hardware development.
1. Onion Developer Sticker (ALL backers)
2. Omega2 Breadboard Dock (backers who pledge $64 or more)
3. 3 Months of FREE Data (for backers who get the Cellular Expansion)

We made the Omega2 tiny so that it can easily fit into your DIY project or commercial product. It is less than 1/4 the size of the Raspberry Pi, and less than 1/3 the size of the Arduino Uno.
The Omega2 has integrated Wi-Fi and on-board flash storage. This means that it springs to life the moment you power it on. You don't have to worry about buying Wi-Fi dongles or installing operating system images onto external SD cards.
Using the Omega2 is just like using a desktop computer. We've built simple and intuitive apps for you to interact with the Omega2. We also have an App Store where you can discover even more apps!For the more adventurous, you can even build apps with our SDK and publish them on the Onion App Store to share with the world :)
Don't be fooled by its size, the Omega2 is a full computer running Linux, the same operating system that powers some of the world's most mission-critical infrastructure. You can think of the Omega2 as a tiny Linux server with Wi-Fi. (Yes, it even runs Apache!)
For the BSD fans out there, the Omega2 also runs FreeBSD!
An important benefit of running Linux is that the Omega2 can be programmed with whatever language you want. Save time by using languages and libraries you are already familiar with.
The Omega2 is seamlessly integrated with the Onion Cloud. This allows you toremote control it from anywhere in the world with our intuitive Web UI or RESTful APIs. You can also view the status of your Omega2 in real-time, and deploy software updates to it when it is in the field.
Using the Omega2 with the Onion Cloud is optional.
The Omega2 is easily expandable. We have designed a whole lot of expansions so you can add capabilities to it through simple plug-n-play.
The Omega2 is designed for connectivity. It has Wi-Fi built in, and we have built expansions so that you can easily add Bluetooth, Cellular, and GPS to your projects.
The Omega2 can be easily added to your existing Arduino projects. We have designed an Arduino Dock so that you can make use of your existing Arduino shields.
For those extra demanding projects, we’ve created the Omega2 Plus. It uses the same chipset as the Omega2, but has double the built-in storage and memory, and, on top of that, there’s a MicroSD slot built in, so you’ll never have to worry about running out of space!

The pinout for the Omega2 is subject to change without prior notice.
Expansion Dock
A-la-carte price: $15.00
The Expansion Dock powers the Omega2, it breaks out all of the GPIOs, and allows you to expand your Omega2 with expansion modules. It has a USB-to-serial chip on-board, allowing you to access the Omega2 easily through the serial terminal.
Mini Dock
A-la-carte price: $15.00
The Mini Dock provides power to the Omega2, and it allows you to plug in USB devices.

The Mini Dock has a USB-to-serial chip just like the Expansion Dock.
Power Dock
A-la-carte price: $15.00
The Power Dock provides power to the Omega2 via a lithium polymer battery. It also comes with a charging circuit to allow you to charge your battery. The Power Dock does not come with a USB-to-serial chip but the GPIOs are broken out so you can use Expansions.

The Omega2 will be shipped worldwide.
Tier prices do not include the shipping fees. In order to ensure that all backer information is up-to-date so we can calculate the most accurate shipping cost, we will be collecting the shipping fees when we send the backer surveys in August. Exact shipping rates vary depending on the weight of your selected tier and your destination. We have a strong fulfillment partner who provides us with very low shipping rates. The shipping cost will be similar to the shipping cost quoted on our online store.
Hi everyone! We are Onion. We are a team of 13 makers based in Boston, Toronto and Shenzhen. We love to tinker around with electronics, and we chase that sense of accomplishment you get when your project comes to life. We want to share this feeling with the whole world.
