Troubleshooting • Re: Headless, RPi Zero 2 W, configuration & connection guide

Dear RPi Forum Team,

More progress but still not getting past RPi OS login request.

Added to /bootfs/config.txt
```
[all]
enable_uart=1
```

Used following command in Ubuntu Gnome Terminal cli.
```
$ sudo screen /dev/ttyAM0 115200
```

But as is apparent can't get login credential correct. Combinations like the ones described below were tried. <none> indicates the return key on the Dell Ubuntu laptop keyboard was pressed and no password was given.

Credentials tried among others

Login: Pi
Password: <none>

Login: pi
Password: <none>

Login: pi
Password: raspberry

Please see some attempts below.Have put some more notes under Attempt 2 at the link below.
https://github.com/YorkEarwaker/Electri ... connection

Have yet to try, but will try tomorrow,

Login: <none>
Password: <none>

Look forward to any suggestions for login credentials. Or other suggestions.

FYI. Also today purchased a USB to TTL CP2102 UART integration board in case RPi Debug Probe was a dead end. Please see a link to it under hardware heading elsewhere in same link above. Will treat the USB to TTL CP2102 UART as plain old USB to TTL serial cable for RPi SBC's .

Thanks for all your help to date.

Happy New Year.

Yours,
York
