First image with fully NetworkManager-native WiFi, managed end-to-end from the AlpacaBridge web UI.

  • Boots into the OpenAstro-XXXX hotspot (5 GHz, password 12345678, web UI at http://172.24.1.1:6800/)
  • Join your home WiFi from the AlpacaBridge WiFi card; the hotspot returns automatically when the network is out of range
  • AlpacaBridge preinstalled; iMate PowerBox works out of the box
  • Ships a working UWE5622 driver build (Armbian's bundled one cannot run an access point)
  • Known limitation: hotspot and client cannot run at the same time (WiFi chip limitation) - see the README

Flash to SD, boot, wait for the eMMC self-install, remove the SD.
