Boot Order of Operation on a New WPSD Installation

This document describes the order of operation once a fresh WPSD SD Card is inserted into a device and boots up. This helps set expectations when installing WPSD on a fresh SD Card…

Chronological Boot-Up Order

  1. Generate new SSH keys; resource-intensive; takes time on weak hardware.

  2. Auto-expand SD Card/file system to use all available space.

    • Auto-reboot.
  3. If ‘/boot/WPSD_Config_*.zip’ configuration backup is found, restore. If not, skip to step 4.

  4. If Wi-Fi configuration file is found in ‘/boot/’, apply Wi-Fi settings. If not, skip to step 5.

    • Auto-reboot.
  5. Final boot-up complete; dashboard running & ready to configure.
