An example for connecting to WiFi using wpa\_supplicant: 1. To bring a WiFi interface up, run the following : ``` $ ifconfig wlan0 up ``` {% hint style="info" %} To discover your wireless network interface name, see [Network Interfaces](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration#network_interfaces). {% endhint %} 2. Install the wpa\_supplicant package: ``` $ apt-get install wpasupplicant ``` 3. Edit network interfaces file : At the bottom of the file, add the following lines to allow wlan as a network connection: ``` cat < /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface default inet dhcp EOF ``` 4. Create a configuration file with the relevant ssid: ``` cat < /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1 network={ ssid="MYSSID" psk="passphrase" } EOF ``` {% hint style="info" %} Check your personal ssids by running : ‘iw dev wlan0 scan’ {% endhint %} 5. Make sure it works: Restart your device and it should connect to the wireless network. You can check it by running the command `$ iwconfig` . If it doesn't, repeat above steps or get help from an adult. * For more information about using wpa\_supplicant , you can refer to [wpa\_supplicant](https://www.linuxbabe.com/command-line/ubuntu-server-16-04-wifi-wpa-supplicant) or [wpa\_supplicant](https://blog.nelhage.com/2008/08/using-wpa_supplicant-on-debianubuntu/). #### Bluetooth 1. For showing all Bluetooth devices, run the following: ``` $ apt-get install bluez $ bluetoothctl ``` 2. Turn the device on: ``` [bluetooth]# power on ``` 3. Make your Bluetooth detectable by other devices: ``` [bluetooth]# discoverable on ``` 4. If you want to connect to other devices: * Start by scanning for other Bluetooth devices: ``` [bluetooth]# scan on ``` * Choose a MAC address and connect : ``` [bluetooth]# pair $MAC ``` * You can check the pairing list between the devices by writing : ``` [bluetooth]# paired-devices ``` #### Cellular Modem The cellular modem is a more fully featured extension of which contains a cellular module with additional hardware interfaces and a SIM card slot. You can connect your cellular modem to the mPCIe, and insert a SIM card. * How to connect to the network:\ 1\. Install “modemmanager” package on your debian. ``` $ sudo apt install modemmanager ``` 2\. Search for your modem location: ``` $ mmcli -L ``` 3\. Connect to your modem: ``` $ mmcli --modem=/your/modem/location ``` 4\. Enable the modem: ``` $ mmcli --modem=/your/modem/location -e ``` 5\. Scan for networks: ``` $ mmcli --modem=/your/modem/location --3gpp-scan ``` 6\. connect to 3gpp network: ``` $ mmcli --modem=/your/modem/location --3gpp-register-in-operator= ``` 7\. Make sure the connection was created: ``` $ mmcli --modem=/your/modem/location ``` * For some cellular modules to be connected, please refer to [Cellular Modules](/nxp/imx6/sbc-platform/imx6-other-articles/cellular-modules.md) . **GUI On Debian** There is an option with the **Debian** image, up to the user, to work with a GUI like Weston, GNOME and etc.\ For applying this option do the following steps: First, connect your device to a screen using the working output (HDMI / uHDMI). For working with **Weston** GUI: 1. Install the Weston package. ``` sudo apt install weston ``` 2. Set the XDG\_RUNTIME\_DIR env param. ``` cat << 'EOF' > /etc/profile.d/weston.sh if test -z "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR"; then export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u` if ! test -d "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then # Make a directory for the output of the Weston GUI mkdir --parents "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}" chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}" fi fi EOF ``` 3. Restart the system ``` reboot ``` 4. Start Weston (must be run from the **Dissplay Terminal**) ``` weston ``` {% hint style="info" %} Run the `weston` command from the **Dissplay Terminal** using keyboard (PHYSICAL TERMINAL not serial session or remote connection) {% endhint %} For working with **GNOME** GUI on top of Xorg: 1. Install Xorg. ``` $ sudo apt install xorg ``` 2. Install your desired gnome. ``` $ sudo apt install gnome-session ``` NOTE: ‘gnome-session’ is an example of gnome that we can work with, you can replace the ‘session' with another GNOME extention. 3. Start your GNOME GUI. ``` $ sudo systemctl start gdm ``` * For logging in you need a user on your device to log into it. You can create one before step 3 by this command (replace the ‘username’ with name that you want) : ``` $ sudo adduser username ``` * You can jump between GUIs that you install (like gnome-session) by the setting button that locates in the down right corner of the home screen. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
