software

You will need a computer with basically any OS. I run Linux (Manjaro Xfce), but this should also apply for Windows and Mac aswell. We will be using Raspberry Imager to flash our system. Head to the installation page, you will find installation instructions for every OS imaginable there.

Next, we will need an image. The official one is no longer maintained, it’s outdated and contains a bug that prevents the AI mode from starting. Instead, we will be using a community built image from jayofelony. His images are hosted here.

Look under assets if your device is a Raspberry Pi Zero W (or if you know it has a armhf processor) you would want to select the file with 32-bit in the name as it is using a 32-bit processor. If your device is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W or a Raspberry Pi 3 to 5 (or if you know it has a arm64 processor) you would want to use the image with 64-bit in the name as it is using a 64-bit processor.

Use software like 7-Zip, WinRAR or gunzip to extract the .img file from the archive.

You are able to download the RNDIS driver here.
