Raspberry Pi Zero Support in 0.4

[hondagx35]

Hi flega,

Also connect my Wifi dongle and monitor

also connect a keyboard and log in with user "root" and password "rune".

Use the file /etc/netctl/test as template and save your own wifi profile.
Here is an example:

Code: Select all

Description='wlan0 connection'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa-configsection
IP=dhcp
WPAConfigSection=(
    'ssid="YOUR-SSID"'
    'psk="YOUR-PASSPHRASE"'
    'key_mgmt=WPA-PSK'
    'proto=WPA'
    'group=TKIP'
    'pairwise=TKIP'
    'priority=3'
)

I tried to do that but with no success. I use your script, use my from my other (working) Raspi2. In neither case Zero will connect to my AP. Only difference from different scripts is that led on WiFi dongle have different blinking patterns. Is there way to produce a web-like screen on my monitor?

If Zero can run Rune then it is best one against to others in term of price. I love to see this happening. Sorry I don't have Pi Zero but I have just read what you all in this thread did that I wish to have one to help. Thanks @hondagx35 and Rune team.

As you can see, there is almost impossible to setup Rune on Zero if you don't have Raspi One, which most of us don't have. I have order a USB to Ethernet adapter and will try to use it with Zero.

Hi,

I just tested the hint concerning the Wifi configuration of Frank (see above) and it worked for me.

So it is possible to get a Raspberry Zero running without a Raspberry One, if you have an Image that boots. Then you just have to add your wifi to the configuration like Frank wrote. Alternativly if you have a Linux around just take the SD card and create the new wifi file using Linux (Windows is not able to show the second partition of the SD card, where the wifi configuration files are, at least not Windows 7).

What I did was just to create a new file in the folder

Code: Select all

 /etc/netctl/

with the name of the wifi I wanted to add under Linux. The I copied the content of the file

Code: Select all

 /etc/netctl/test

into the new file and just changed the wifi name and the password. After boot the Zero automatically connects to the newly added wifi.

Hope that helps.

Here is my config:

Code: Select all

Description='wlan0 connection'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa-configsection
IP=dhcp
WPAConfigSection=(
    'ssid="WIFI"'
    'psk="WIFIPASSWORD"'
    'key_mgmt=WPA-PSK'
    'proto=RSN'
    'group=CCMP'
    'pairwise=CCMP'
    'priority=3'
)

As you can see it differs from the one Frank posted. For "proto" I am using "rsn" instead of "wpa" and for "group" and "pairwise" I am using "ccmp" instead of "tkip". @fleega may be thats your Problem?

[flega]

I have tried again using yours and Frank values for Proto, group and Pairwise, also use values from my raspi2 in which Rune works regular. I make another file in /etc/netctl beside TEST and use different values for Proto, group and Pairwise. Than I use another AP (different manufacturer) with all those which I wrote here(of course, change SSID and Pass). Nothing worked, can't connect in neither way.

Hi flega,

you have to use netctl-auto to enable your newly created profile

Code: Select all

root@RuneAudio(rw):~# netctl-auto
Usage: netctl-auto {COMMAND} ...
                   [--help|--version]

Commands:
  list                 List available profiles (active='*', disabled='!')
  current              List currently active profiles
  switch-to [PROFILE]  Switch to a profile, enable it if necessary
  enable [PROFILE]     Enable a profile for automatic selection
  disable [PROFILE]    Disable a profile temporarily for automatic selection
  enable-all           Enable all profiles for automatic selection
  disable-all          Disable all profiles temporarily for automatic selection


So try to list your profiles first:

Code: Select all

root@RuneAudio(rw):~# netctl-auto list
! FFS-ELabor2


In my case the profile "FFS-ELabor2" is disabled.
To enable it use

Code: Select all

root@RuneAudio(rw):~# netctl-auto enable FFS-ELabor2

Now list shows

Code: Select all

root@RuneAudio(rw):~# netctl-auto list
  FFS-ELabor2

There is no profile when I try to list it. There are two files in /etc/netctl - krov and test.

Hi flega,

There is no profile when I try to list it.

Multiple reasons for that:
- you haven't rebooted your pi or restarted netctl-auto after editing / adding the new profile
- you have errors in your profile
- .....

Try

Code: Select all

systemctl restart netctl-auto@wlan0
netctl-auto list
