How to Flash img & WIFI setup - markniu/PandaPi GitHub Wiki
1. RasberryPi img of PandaPi download link:
2. Writing this image to the SD card
Before you start, don't forget to check the SD card requirements.
You will need to use an image writing tool to install the image you have downloaded on your SD card.
balenaEtcher is a graphical SD card writing tool that works on Mac OS, Linux and Windows, and is the easiest option for most users. balenaEtcher also supports writing images directly from the zip file, without any unzipping required. To write your image with balenaEtcher:
- Download "balenaEtcher" and install it.
- Connect an SD card reader with the SD card inside.
- Open balenaEtcher and select from your hard drive the Raspberry Pi .img file you wish to write to the SD card.
- Select the SD card you wish to write your image to.
- Review your selections and click 'Flash!' to begin writing data to the SD card.
3. WIFI setup
Configure your WiFi connection by editing octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt or wpa_supplicant.conf on the root of the flashed card when using it like a thumb drive. Important: Do not use WordPad (Windows) or TextEdit (MacOS X) for this, those editors are known to mangle the file, making configuration fail. Use something like Notepad++, Atom or VSCode instead or at the very least heed the warnings in the file. For most WiFi networks, you'll edit the section that looks like this:
## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
ssid="JoesWiFi"
psk="12345"
}
enter your WiFi network ssid (your network's "name") and the password in the indicated places. Note that the ssid and password are case sensitive. (A common problem when cutting and pasting this information is accidentally including leading or trailing spaces which are not part of the SSID or password.) For a network named JoesWiFi with a password of 12345, it should look like one above.
