so can use VNC without having to plug in screen, mouse, keyboard after boot:
Or if SSH is active already, login with SSH then:
sudo raspi-config Choose option 3: Boot Options Choose option B1: Desktop / CLI Choose option B2: Console Autologin Select Finish, and reboot the pi.
run:
sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin
After installation configure the software by opening the file /etc/samba/smb.conf using the command:
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Make sure you have the following parameters set:
workgroup = WORKGROUP
wins support = yes
You can use anything as your workgroup name as long as it is alphanumerical and matches the workgroup you would like to join.
Next create the folder you would like to share. To create a folder called “share” in your home directory do the following:
mkdir ~/share
With the folder created we can now tell the Samba software to share it on the network. Open the file /etc/samba/smb.conf using the command:
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Scroll to the bottom and add the following:
[PiShare] comment=Raspberry Pi Share path=/home/pi/share browseable=Yes writeable=Yes only guest=no create mask=0777 directory mask=0777 public=no
public access is not allowed via “public=no” – this means that anyone wanting to access the shared folder must login with a valid user.
In this case the valid user is the user called “pi”. To let Samba know that “pi” is a network user run the command:
sudo smbpasswd -a pi
And enter pi’s password twice (default: raspberry).
$ unzip vl805_update_0137a8.zip $ chmod a+x vl805 $ sudo ./vl805 -w vl805_fw_0137a8.bin $ sudo reboot
The zip file includes the current shipping firmware (013701) in case you want to revert:
$ sudo ./vl805 -w vl805_fw_013701.bin $ sudo reboot
sudo ./vl805
with no parameters displays the version of the currently running firmware. Note that this may differ from what's in the EEPROM if you've just reprogrammed it but not rebooted.
