Assigning an IP to Respbarry Pi 2 Model B1.1

[SurferTim]

Then my obvious question is: If no video, why a keyboard and mouse?

The obvious solution is plug that HDMI cable into a TV and see what is going on.

Did you enable ssh on the Pi after writing the image to the card?

[ankur_r]

Hi Rpdom,

I stated twice I am not able to perform any operation on RPI as i am not able to see any of its interface...

You need to enable ssh on the card before you put it in the Pi.

Plug it into a windows system (or whatever you used to create it) and make a file called "ssh" or "ssh.txt" in the first partition of the card. Then put it in the Pi and power up. SSH should then be enabled.

can u kindly share any link or come with little more details of text file and process ?

1. Remove power from the RPi and remove the SD card.
2. Put the card in your Ubuntu laptop and use the dd command to write the Raspbian image to the card..
3. After the dd command returns with what it has done, wait a few seconds and remove the card from the laptop.
4. Re-insert the card into the laptop. Ubuntu should show two drives on the card. You need to do the following two operations in the root directory on the smaller size drive - the one that contains config.txt and cmdline.txt and many others.
5. Create a file with name ssh. It can contain anything, even a single character or nothing at all.
6. Use a text editor to open cmdline.txt. At the end of the existing line (NOT a new line) add a space and

Code: Select all

ip=192.168.3.201

and save the file.
7. Safely eject the card.
8. Put the card in the RPi.
9. Connect RPi to laptop with an ethernet cable.
10. Set your laptop to have an IP address 192.168.3.200.
11. Apply power to the RPi and confirm it is booting by observing the green LED flickering for 10s of seconds.
12. Open a terminal window on the laptop and type

Code: Select all

ssh pi@192.168.3.201

13. At the password prompt enter

No you do not need to create the file ssh file again unless you reinstall the OS again.
Now you can enable VNC by using the config utility via ssh

Code: Select all

sudo raspi-config

If you are using Ubuntu, install and run nmap to see if your RPi shows up on the network.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install nmap
nmap 192.168.3.0/24
