Recently, I successfully used balenaEtcher to flash the micro SD card with the latest image from https://ftp.freedombox.org/pub/freedombox/hardware/pioneer/stable/freedombox-stable_pioneer_a20-olinuxino-lime2-armhf.img.xz
But I can’t access the FB from any suggested URLs and don’t actually see it on the network via my router admin. What am I missing? What would be the best line of attack to establish communication? I may have written down the FB MAC address from pre-flashing the card when I still couldn’t access but it showed as being offline via router admin.
Would it help to assign a static IP if I’ve got the MAC address. (At work presently.)
- Ethernet from FreedomBox direct to Verizon’s FiOS Router (model CR1000A).
- Not sure when I purchased the FreedomBox other than it was after 2017.
As it stands, it goes through boot process and concludes at a login prompt.
