The AthenaII is based on an OrangePi board, which includes an onboard wireless adapter. This page describes the process of connecting to a wireless network rather than using a physical network interface.
Required Materials
- Computer with wired and wireless network connection & Ethernet cable
- SSH client program (
ssh
on Mac or Linux, PuTTy or equivalent on Windows) - AthenaII board (and OrangePi) with pre-installed MSE4777 debian/Franklin image
Initial Wireless Setup
- Connect the powered AthenaII board to the computer using an ethernet cable.
- Check connection to http://192.168.76.2 in a web browser or using
ping 192.168.76.2
on a command line. - Using an ssh client, connect to 192.168.76.2:22 with username
debian
and passwordreprap
. - Launch
sudo nmtui
and select "Activate a connection" using the arrow keys. - Select the WiFi network of interest. Enter the network key if necessary.
nmtui
should indicate success. - Exit
nmtui
using the back and quit buttons. - At the command line, launch
sudo ifconfig
and look for the interfacewlan0
. Identify and note the inet IP address for this interface (here,10.10.10.224
- Disconnect the ssh session using
exit
or by simply closing the ssh window. - Remove the ethernet cable from the AthenaII.
- Test the connection using a device connected to the same wireless network as the AthenaII, again either by pinging or browsing to the inet address identified above. The AthenaII homepage should load.
- Continue setup or operation with Franklin.
