This community edition doesn't currently build or run correctly on a modern
Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm base with a Pi Zero + USB WiFi dongle. This PR fixes it
end to end. Each change is independent.
1. Image build no longer hangs (install.sh, os/config)
On the current pinned base image the full
apt-get upgradehits an interactivedpkg conffile prompt and then hangs forever regenerating the arm64 (v8) initramfs
under 32-bit armhf QEMU. Fix: skip the full upgrade (ADMIN_TOOLKIT_UPDATE_PACKAGES=no
and remove the upgrade/dist-upgrade calls in install.sh; make apt non-interactive).
The base kernel runs the camera fine and needed packages are installed explicitly.
2. USB WiFi dongle support (helpers/cfgsetup.py)
The hotspot script assumed the wireless interface always exists and is named
wlan0. On a Pi using a USB dongle (e.g. a Pi Zero with no onboard WiFi) theadapter enumerates a few seconds later and may get a different name, so the
hotspot never came up. Fix: wait for a wireless interface to appear and
auto-detect its name.
3. Hotspot joinable by modern clients (helpers/cfgsetup.py)
NetworkManager 1.42 brings the hotspot up in WPA2/WPA3 "transition mode"
(key_mgmt "WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 SAE"). Many USB WiFi drivers can't do WPA3/PMF
properly in AP mode, so the network is invisible on some phones and fails the
handshake on others (reported as a wrong password). Fix: force plain WPA2-PSK and
disable PMF.
4. Camera actually detected on Bookworm (install.sh)
The bundled
raspicammodule sets the LEGACY camera stack (start_x=1,camera_auto_detect=0), but this image uses picamera2/libcamera, so the camera is
never detected. Also, the base image can ship a libcamera0.3 that mismatches
libpisp, crashing rpicam/picamera2 with an undefined-symbol error. Fix: switch to
libcamera auto-detection (start_x=0, camera_auto_detect=1) and sync the libcamera
libraries to matching versions.
Tested on a Pi Zero (v1.3) with a USB WiFi dongle (Panda PAU05 ) and a Camera Module 3 (imx708):
image builds, hotspot is joinable from macOS/iOS, and the camera streams.
