I don’t understand how to set up wifi

patrikg:
The picore isn't built what you expect.

First you need to connect to a screen with hdmi and usb keyboard, and then you can expand the sd card, and set the configurations like you want and save that, so next time you boot the system your settings will be populated with example with ssid and password, and so on.
And then you can disconnect the screen and keyboard and just connect with ssh from the network.
And i found this...you may use this..But you need some linux machine to do this:
Dont' know why this is not imported into the new wiki.. some web pages missing from the old wiki.

@heiheshang: Since you can SSH into the device, let's get you set up.

1. Partition and Format your SD card's remaining, unused space (which will become mmcblk0p2)
2. Enter blkid | grep mmcblk and you should see mmcblk0p2 listed; the UUID number here is required below where it says [YourUUID]
3. Edit /mnt/mmcblk0p1/cmdline.txt and add this to the end of the existing string of text:

--- Code: ---tce=UUID="[YourUUID]" opt=UUID="[YourUUID]" home=UUID="[YourUUID]"
--- End code ---

Once finished, reboot and then log back into the device.

Run the program tce-ab and Search (one at a time) for each of the following extensions and Install them:
wifi
wireless_tools
wireless (and select wireless-#.#.#-piCore-v#.tcz)
wpa_supplicant
...and I think RasPi3's had a special firmware package, so search for
rpi3b
...it will begin with firmware-rpi3b-something if it still exists.

You should now be able to test for wifi connectivity.  If everything done above is successful, your extensions should be available automatically after you reboot again.  IF SO, return here to the forum - there have to be plenty of RasPi posts on how to set up and PERSIST your wpa settings for every time you reboot.

my question is not how to turn on wifi, but how to do it on the sd card, and not on the device itself. All recipes work if you are connected to the device.

I have no problems with this.
