Logging into the Linux console

To log into the Linux console, there are three ways:

1. Local login (via a keyboard and monitor connected to the Pi)

• Connect keyboard and monitor to the Pi
• Press alt-F12 to switch to TTY12

Note: In case you want to login to the GroundPi, while the AirPi is running, stop the AirPi first. Otherwise, you'll not be able to see the console because the video is in front of it!

2. Remote login via SSH over ethernet hotspot or wifi hotspot (GroundPi only!)

• Enable ETHERNET_HOTSPOT and/or WIFI_HOTSPOT in wifibroadcast-1.txt config file
• Connect a computer via Ethernet or Wifi
• Use your favorite SSH client in your favorite OS (e.g. PuTTY for Windows)
• Connect to IP 192.168.1.1 using Ethernet hotspot or 192.168.2.1 for Wifi hotspot
• Username: root
• Password: raspberry

3. Remote login with the Pi as Ethernet DHCP client

• Connect the Pi to your router before powering it up
• To determine the IP, either watch the HDMI screen, you will see a message showing the IP the Pi has aqcuired, or:
• Look into your router's webinterface, you will see the Pi with hostname "wifibrdcast-rx" or "wifibrdcast-tx"
• Use your favorite SSH client in your favorite OS (e.g. PuTTY for Windows) to connect to that IP
• Username: root
• Password: raspberry

Note: The filesystem is read-only when nobody is logged in and will be automatically switched to read-write when logging in.
