I wanted to create a master image for the setup and then clone it on other sd card and just change the wifi name, password and IP address to get going with other location. However, it is not straight forward. I was expecting it to allow reconfiguration through armbian-config. However it seems like there is some other file which is used by amrbian imager to override the setting in armbian-config.

One more observation. Whatever IP, Wifi Name and Password I set in armbian imager, I find it very difficult to overwritring them through armbian-config. It keeps falling back to the one set through armbian config profile. I have tried through ornage pi zero 2. Please let me know if someone else have faced this problem.

Thank you everyone. There was nothing wrong with Armbian Imager. using last octave 255 was the problem. Changing it to 192.168.1.254 worked like a charm.

Thank you Igor for the reply. There might be many like me which try to hook up Linux headless SBC over WiFi to be accessible with predefined IP address over a network. If it is not natively supported by Armnian imager? What would be th other way? I tried to create image using Armbian imager without any profile then tried to connect to wifi over static IP. But still it keeps assigning static IP to LAN. How to work around in this situation to configure static IP to wifi. Before imager, I used to simply flash the card by downloading the images from armbian.com and then using armbian-config, I could do what I described above. However now I am not able to make it work. Whatever static IP I try to assign to WiFi, it ends up getting assigned to LAN. Worst part, because now LAN IP is of same series, it make my life further difficult as two interfaces cannot have same IP series.

I think is it bug. I enabled Wi-Fi. But the IP setting is getting applied for Ethernet (Refer SSH windows showing ethernet IP 192.168.1.255. Off course, because ethernet is assigned 192.168.1.xxx it will not even configure DHCP IP on WiFi in 192.168.1.xxx series.

Armbian Imager Update ends up treating onboard microSD card as system drive. Is it possible to make onboard sd card program as a system drive by changing the setting to allow system drives. However it still exposes newbie to possible risk of ending up the SSD. Please keep SD card slot as an exception to be treated as system drive.

Headless armbian minimal OS installation from armbian imager still expects SSH login to complete first time configuration I configured a static IP in armbian imager profile and root password and other user name and password and also other settings. I was expecting the orange pi zero 2W to come online and me to get ping on the set IP address. To my surprise it still asked for all those details as if the profile settings were not applied. SBC Orange Pi Zero 2W OS Armbian 26.11.0 Minimal Debian 13 Current 6.18.54 Armbian Imageer V2.0.4

unless i add a tag "solved" it was not allowing me to post. Please neglect "solved" tag

Armbian_24.2.1_Orangepizero2_bookworm_current_6.6.16_minimal This is working. Armbian_25.5.1_Orangepizero2_bookworm_current_6.12.23_minimal Armbian_community_26.8.0-trunk.7_Orangepizero2_trixie_current_6.18.41_minimal These two are not taking me to login screen even after waiting for 10 minutes after bootup. It gets stuck at line called starting kernel. I tried to boot multiple times hoping that new versions should be smooth. But it wasn't the case.

I suppose this is a genuine problem if someone like me ships the hardware with user not competent to handle uart but would like to switch from default wifi config e.g. Wifi Name: Abc Password: Pqr with dynamic ip. To static IP 192.168.1.123 with destination wifi router with wifi name: Def and password: Xyz. In this case I would like to provide simple SOP to start hotspot on the phone and access putty on phone to switch to new wifi.

Thank you eselarm for the reply. If it is possible to get simple SOP for running blinky program on any of the gpio of orange pi zero 2w in python, I can take it forward. I am trying to operate relays using orange pi zero 2w.

I installed Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.130_Orangepizero2w_trixie_current_6.12.63_minimal and tried to follow the instructions on gpiod · PyPI. GPIO are not enabled in device tree.

During first boot if the wifi router is not online, the whole setup skips wifi configuration. It would have good if it keeps scanning for new wifi names everytime it fails to connect to chosen option.

i also tried installing network manager separately, however it is not able to override the wifi configurations. It was allowing in image files few months ago. But now it does not allow.

Hello, I am facing situation where new armbian images e.g. Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.100_Orangepizero2w_trixie_current_6.12.63_minimal is coming without nmui. nmtui support one wifi configuration with dhcp while assigning static ip to other wifi. systemd-networkd does not support separate behaviour for two different wifi configruation. Requesting to provide nmtui which is more flexible. To elaborate the case, the dhcp is must for connecting to mobile hotspot which keeps on changing ip series. And for IoT project, I need static configuration. That's why i need armbian to allow dhcp when i am trying to ssh on mobile hotspot for initial configuration to and later switch to static ip of IoT project router.
