A minimal buildroot image to turn the Raspberry Pi into a Wi-Fi to Ethernet bridge.
- Download the latest sdcard.img for your Pi from the releases page and flash it to a micro SD card.
- Mount the root filesystem from the micro SD card and modify the config files according to CONFIG.md. This can also be done on the Pi itself if you have a serial console available:
mount / -o remount,rw
vi /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf # add your Wi-Fi
vi /etc/hostname # optional
mount / -o remount,ro
reboot- (Re)boot the Pi and connect your Ethernet client. Observe that it now has network connectivity!
The two prebuilt images are designed to be compatible with the Pi 1/0/0W and 2/3/4/02W. That said, to date only the 0W and 3 have been tested and confirmed working.
| Board | Working | Version Tested | Notes | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi 0w | ✅ | v4 Beta | ||
| Raspberry Pi 3 | ✅ | v5 Beta | @owenthewizard 02/27/2024 |
You can leverage buildroot's extreme flexibility to make all sort of customizations to the image. See BUILDING.md for more info.
