<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> hi guys, a have an orange pi 3 zero
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> but i need a headless installation so i can setup WLAN and connect with SSH
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> I'm not sure which image to use?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> We cannot support 3rd party images. You should state your question here: https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-3/
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Yeah that's better 😉
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> this is what I actually wanted
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> I flashed the image with balinaetecher
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I see there is an IOT image available for this board. Docs should reveal how to pre-configure WiFi
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> yeah that is the image i use
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> and there is the file network-config
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> wifis:
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> wlan0:
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> dhcp4: true
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> optional: true
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> access-points:
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> GENESIS:
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> password: "HOME9999"
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> There is also this way: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Autoconfig/
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> I am afraid the OS does not boot at all
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> only 2 blinks in a secind
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> like a heartbeat?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> yes
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> That's good. It means the kernel is running.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Maybe WiFi ist just broken. The state of _community supported_ images in general is unknown to the core Armbian team. Things might be break if nobody from the community, who originally contributed suport for a board or anybody else, takes care and fixes things.

<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I'd hook it up to either a serial console or ethernet and try to get access and check if wifi is available.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> hmm so i should try it with a connected ethernet cable. Don't know how to connect it to a serial console..
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Using a debug serial console is the best, and often the only, way to debug boot issues or get access to a board with broken networking. If you want to know more check #❓first-aid
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> ok thank you for your help
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Welcome
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> oh wait, the led does the heartbeat even without the SD card inserted. how come?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> is there on board storage (eMMC)?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> I am not sure. I think there is no eMMC
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> but I read somewhere that mini Linux OS in SPI flash installed by default
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> the manual says this is the case, but it *should* boot from the SD card if the SD card is bootable
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> i have used the balaneEthcher to flash the sd card. from the https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-3/ site. Minimal/IOT image
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <vulkanizer5308> according to the documentation i have tried this https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Autoconfig/
