Enrolling raspberry-pis onto CHI@Edge

General/User Questions
1

I’m trying to enroll a few Raspberry Pi 5 devices on CHI@Edge. I used the Edge SDK to “bake” the OS image onto my devices. How can I ensure that the image, upon booting up, connects to the Wi-Fi network? Is there specific documentation related to this process?

Thanks in advance!

I’d strongly recommend trying with an ethernet connection first, just to make sure you have the process down.

For actually configuring wifi though, you’ll want to follow one of the recipes here: Network Setup on balenaOS | balena

Essentially, you can configure a networkmanager connection named foo by creating a file at /system-connections/foo on the sdcard, after you’ve flashed it, but before putting into the Pi.

The contents should be:

[connection]
id=foo
type=wifi

Followed by whatever wifi parameters you need, using the link above for examples.
