Very Headless LibreELEC on RPi Zero

  • Hi everyone,

    I hope you have an idea for my problem.

    So, I like to get a RPi Zero with LE up and running. I downloaded the image and started it succesfully on my TV.

    Unfortunately, I have no keyboard that I could attach to it. And I don't have an IR receiver as well.

    So what I wanted to do is to enable wifi and ssh right from the start so it could automatically connect to my wifi and then I could use Kodi Remote App from my Smartphone or maybe VNC into the interface to get everything else done.

    What I already found out is that wpa_supplicant.conf won't work, as LE uses ConnMan for wifi setup.

    Is there a way I could prepare the SD card so that I could use LE on RPi Zero the way I like to use it?

    Thanks!

  • LE does not support any form of wifi pre-configuration and LE10.x/LE11.x no longer formally support for RPi0 (or other 512MB devies) which is the only device where this Q comes up occasionally. As already suggested, use CEC to set things up; or borrow a USB keyboard from someone.
