Hi, newbie here. Just trying to get Tiny core running on my Pi Zero. I've followed some of the posts on here:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26659.0.html
https://gist.github.com/BillyNate/13732d02c41378f1c630fa914fe63378
and dug around some but I can't get it working :(
uname -r gives 6.6.47-piCore-v8
I've been downloading from http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/aarch64/tcz/ (which is the same branch that I got the img file from)
I have installed:
wifi.tcz
wireless-6.6.47-piCore-v8.tcz
wireless_tools.tcz
wpa_supplicant.tcz
firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz
firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
I've added firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz and wifi.tcz to the onboot.lst
but if I do sudo wifi.sh it tells me that there are "No wifi devices found!"
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Have you read the last section of the announcement post>
Although that issue normally doesn't cause a problem until after you make a wifi connection.
what does dmesg tell you? look near the end of the output

Thanks for the replies.
I managed to get it to connect - turns out that I rebooted at the wrong point :)
went through again without rebooting and it allowed me to connect.
Now I need to work out how to get it to connect on boot
and what packages I need to get a gui going.

Hi piran
... and what packages I need to get a gui going.
Once you have an Internet connection, you can:
tce-load -wi Xorg flwm_topside wbar aterm
startx
-
And run filetool to store picore state, so if you reboot all settings and stored files will be restored.
You can read about how TC works in the TC Book.
filetool.sh -bv

Thanks, I've been working my way through the book although much of the install is based on the GUI which you don't get with the Raspberry pi install.
filetool.sh didn't help with the wifi though.

If you search a little bit in this forum I think you could get a answer to how to store the wifi settings.

Thanks, I've tried:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,12441.0.html
turns out that it's not wifi.sh auto it's wifi.sh -a
sorted now :) thanks
