Setup Wifi Prior to First Boot

zab4522 · Published in 2024-2-7 14:28:03

On the raspberry I was able to set the parameters to get on my wifi network on the first boot. Could not find how to this on orange anywhere, so I made this script. Comments in the script show how to install and setup. I'm using the orangepi zero 3, with July 2023 orangepi os. Might work on other devices?

#!/usr/bin/bash
# script to setup wifi prior to booting
# I use to not need to connect to ethernet
# to configure the wifi connection after
# the initial install of orangepi os
# on the sd card.
# Tested on orange pi zero 3 with
# orangepi os dated July 2023
# run this script from /etc/rc.local
# I save the script as
# /home/orangepi/scripts/wifi.sh
# /etc/rc.local then needs this line -
# /home/orangepi/scripts/wifi.sh
# the last line of rc.local must be-
# exit 0
# create the following files
# /boot/ssid and /boot/password
# with one line only, containing
# what their filenames say
# script starts here
# test for the files
if [ -f /boot/ssid ]
then
if [ -f /boot/password ]
then
# wait 10 secs for the board to complete bootup
# may not be necessary
sleep 10
ssid=`cat /boot/ssid`
password=`cat /boot/password`
#echo $ssid
#echo $password
# force scan befor connect
nmcli device wifi list > /dev/null
# wait a little and then connect!!
sleep 5
nmcli device wifi connect $ssid password $password
# network manager should keep activating
# the same wifi when rebooted. So remove these files.
# They can be recreated if needed
# If commented out the files will persist and the orangepi
# will connect to the listed network on each reboot
# regardless if the network was switched
rm /boot/ssid
rm /boot/password
# close the ifs
fi
fi

OK I missed it. You do not need the script method above. Section 3.7.5 details how to setup your wifi parameters along with other options. This is in the orange pi zero 3 user manual you can download here -

At least I learned a little writing the script.
