Comment on Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi

  Yes you can, but then without a display and keyboard you won’t be able to SSH into the thing right away. They’re pushing people into their tool and you’ll be seeing more of that crap in the future.

    Don’t you just touch SSH in the /boot dir after you flash, then you can SSH in as pi and password raspberry?

      The workarounds are either using their tool or doing what you suggested. Other SBCs do the reasonable thing and have it enabled by default. This simply pushes less-proficient users into using their tool.

        Having it enabled by default is a pretty massive security hole. I preordered the raspberry pi 1 when it launched and I don’t remember SSH ever being enabled be default in their images. Where did you hear it was enabled by default?

    This is not true

      On Raspberry Pi OS, ssh is disabled by default, so you’ll have to find a way to enable ssh + find the IP address + connect to it.

      The workarounds are either using their tool and/or fiddling on the SD card. Other SBCs do the reasonable thing and have it enabled by default. This simply pushes people into using their tool.

        The extra menu in the flasher does the magic on the sd-card. I’ve been setting up headless pi’s since before 3b came out, and the same options are available today.

        The idea that ssh is enabled by default is not reasonable is just like your opinion. Did you know you have to enable it during installation on both Debian and canonicals derivative? Maybe it’s still on by default on fedora (with root login enabled to help you!)

        If editing your config is fiddling then I struggle to see your use of an sbc.
