Hi,

So I found out the hard way that neither jammy nor bullseye builds for odroid c2 actually allow ssh at first boot

My board is headless, but has a wired connection to my lan and always gets assigned the same address. Which file or files do I need to edit to ssh into it without having to do initial setup first, please?

It has always been my understanding that ssh is enabled 'out of the box' in Armbian.  So something must have slipped through the cracks here.  I see this post is currently in 'community/unmaintained' section, but as of this writing I am showing Odroid C2 as a Supported device, with a maintainer.

 

Perhaps @teknoid can shed some light?

 

If they do not reply, and/or you find a solution on your own, please submit a patch to the build framework to fix it for everyone else with this board.  It's probably a minor configuration issue.

@ickam, I just tested

Armbian_23.05.0-trunk_Odroidc2_bullseye_current_6.1.29_minimal.img

and could not reproduce your problem. After boot please wait 2-3 mins and carefully check your DHCP Server Log. For me it works as expected:
