Raspberry Pi: Login to raspberrypi without external monitor.

Hi folks, today we will see how to login to raspberrypi without any need of an external monitor.

Prerequisites:-

  • You have a SD with raspbian OS installed.
  • You have a laptop or desktop with putty installed (If you are using a linux then terminal is enough).
  • You have an ethernet cable to connect your system and pi.

Steps:-

  • First step is to enable ssh in your pi.
    For that, create an empty file named ssh in the root path of your SD card in which OS is installed. This will enable ssh in pi when it boots up.

  • Connect your pi and laptop using an ethernet cable.

  • Now you can connect to the pi through ssh.
    For that open the putty application in your system. By default pi will have hostname as 'raspberrypi'. Enter the hostname as 'raspberrypi'
