2.3.3 Enabling SSH

SSH is ​pre-enabled​ in all our provided system images. For ​official Raspberry Pi OS images, manual configuration is required using either method below:

  • Via the raspi-config tool;
  • By creating an empty file named ssh.

2.3.3.1 raspi-config

  1. Execute sudo raspi-config command.
  2. Choose 3 Interface Options
  3. Choose I2 SSH
  4. Would you like the SSH server to be enabled? Select Yes
  5. Choose Finish

2.3.3.2 Add Empty File To Enable SSH

Create an empty file named ssh in the boot partition. The SSH function will be ​automatically enabled​ upon system boot.

2.3.4 Get device IP

  • If the display screen is connected, you can use the ifconfig command to find the current device IP.
  • If there is no display screen, you can view the assigned IP through the router.
  • If there is no display screen, you can download the nmap tool to scan the IP under the current network.

Nmap supports Linux, macOS, Windows and other platforms. If you want to use nmap to scan the network segments from 192.168.3.0 to 255, you can use the following command：

nmap -sn 192.168.3.0/24

After waiting for a period of time, the result will be output.
