CCR_WiFi_Connection configures the WIFI interface.

Key Description
available since 2017-01
package filename ccr_wifi_connection-xyz.deb
configuration /opt/ccr/files/wifi.ccr
cron job /etc/cron.d/ccr_wifi_connection
script /usr/bin/ccr_wifi_connection.sh [<newssid> [<passphrase>]]
example sudo ccr_wifi_connection.sh production test123

The script ccr_wifi_connection.sh makes sure that Connection Manager knows about the network SSID to which the BeagleBone must connect. On a BeagleBone with no wireless device, this script does nothing.

The WiFi configuration is stored in /opt/ccr/files/wifi.ccr, and is applied when the device reboots or when the script is manually called.

To install:

sudo dpkg -i ccr_wifi_connection-*.deb

Then either reboot the device, or manually run the script:

sudo ccr_wifi_connection.sh

The WiFi SSID name and passphrase can also be specified on the command-line when the script is manually called. This will automatically update /opt/ccr/files/wifi.ccr so the information is maintained through a reboot. For example:

sudo ccr_wifi_connection.sh MyWifiNetwork abc123
