Headless setup

A new board online — without a screen

Bespoke installer

Create a bespoke installer for headless setup

  • Select your device

    Pick your board from the list — Raspberry Pi and many other single-board computers.

  • Enter Wi-Fi credentials

    Add your home network name and password once — they're baked into your personal installer.

  • Boot and wait until it connects to awaBerry

    Flash the card, power up, and let the device come online for remote access on its own.

  • No need to set up IP or anything else

    No IP addresses, no port forwarding, no router settings — there's nothing else to configure.

Or install the awaBerry client on your existing Linux-based device.

See it happen

Flash the card, power up, done

  • No monitor, no keyboard

    Skip the spare screen and the tangle of cables. Everything happens from the app on your phone or laptop.

  • It joins on its own

    As soon as the board powers up it connects to awaBerry and shows up in your device list, ready to open.

  • Minutes, not an afternoon

    From blank SD card to a working, reachable device in the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

A personal installer

Made just for your device

Instead of a one-size-fits-all image, awaBerry prepares a bespoke installer tailored to you — so the board knows how to come home the moment it boots.

1

Tell awaBerry about your board

Pick your device and your home Wi-Fi. That's the only setup you'll do.

2

Get your personal installer

awaBerry builds an image made for you, with your Wi-Fi and a secure key baked in — nothing to type on the device itself.

3

Write it to the SD card

Flash the card with the free imager, pop it into the board, and power up.

4

Watch it appear

The device connects on its own and shows up in the app — ready to open, control and automate.

Why it's so easy

The fiddly parts, handled for you

No cable hunting

No spare monitor, no keyboard, no HDMI or USB adapters to dig out of a drawer.

Wi-Fi already set

Your home network is built into the installer, so the board connects the first time it boots.

Secure from the start

A unique key is baked in, so only your account can reach the new device.

Works on many boards

Raspberry Pi and lots of other single-board computers — the same simple flow for each.

Great for beginners

A gentle first project for a curious kid, and a time-saver for anyone who's set up a Pi the hard way.

Nothing to remember

No IP addresses to note down, no default passwords to change — it's ready when it lights up.

Set up your next board the easy way

Build a personal installer, flash the card, and let your device come online by itself.
