The research was published here and here. On Pi Zero / Zero W only, it’s able to turn on USB OTG mode and the Pi will act as a USB slave with different modes: Serial, Ethernet, Mass storage device, etc. In below config file, the ssid field is the Wi-Fi Access Point name, and the psk field is the password of that Wi-Fi.

To add a wireless network which Pi will automatically connect to, create a text file called wpa_nf and place that file in the root of the boot partition on SD Card too. To enable it, place a blank text file called ssh no file extension in the root of the boot partition on the SD Card. It should appear with a partition named boot.įor security reasons, Secure Socket Shell ( ssh) is no longer enabled by default. A simple fix is to pull the SD Card out then plug it back.

The application BalenaEtcher is a very good image writer that will write the OS image to an SD Card.

WiFi (optional): if you want to use WiFi as the primary network, fill SSID and password.Press Ctrl + Shift + X to show the advanced menu, fill some settings as below: Run the Raspberry Pi Imager, and select the Desktop version but without recommended software. Raspberry Pi Imager is the official Image Writer from Raspberry Pi.
