4 years ago - Base image was created with Open.Hd Image Builder (https://github.com/OpenHD/Open.HD_Image_Builder) skiping the 4 and 5 stages to avoid installation of Open.HD. The resulting image has the needed kernel patches and the patched aircrack-ng rtl8812au driver (https://github.com/svpcom/rtl8812au) installed. This base image is working with all raspberry Pis except the RPI4 (support is coming soon)
Note : Image Builder was modified for compiling kernels with "CONFIG_NET_SCHED=y, CONFIG_NET_SCH_FIFO=y, CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y" and installing the patched aircrack-ng rtl8812au driver (https://github.com/svpcom/rtl8812au).
-
burn this image on a SD card and put it into a rapberry Pi ethernet or wifi connected with your PC.
-
connect a screen and a keyboard to the RPI, and use "raspi-config" to enable the camera interface, ssh and serial port.
-
then connect to it via ssh
ssh pi@192.168.0.xx
password = raspberry
- Next steps:

(wlan0 should work if you have only one wifi board connected to the Pi, but it's better to use the MAC address of the boards because they never change.)

As many of you I find it a nightmare to install and configure WFB, because the wiki is very incomplete and is missing detailed informations. Especially for a noobs like me :)
So I've begin to write a very detailed guide and want to share it with you. But I'm still missing informations.
Please don't hesitate to correct it, and to add what is missing ...
Many thanks for advance.
Note : This guide isn't yet finished, and not yet perfect, because I don't have WFB working for now !! Some things should be wrong or missing ...
