Beside flashing the firmware you need a sd-card with configuration informations about the system and the wifi credentials.

There a two ways to make this settings:

p>

1. By hand: follow the instructions in the wiki (copy data to sd-card, setup wifi credentials by hand)
2. Use an integraded primitiv access point to make the first setup.
   In this case read the instructions below carefully in advance, as you have to temporaly change wifi and need a downloaded file.

Notes:

- For the installation, make sure to switch the ESP32 to Bootloader mode!
- The SD-Card still must be flashed separately on a PC (See in the Wiki)!
- After the installation, a manual reset might be required!
- Please note that not all webbrowsers and operating systems support the needed access to USB!
- Check the Wiki for additional information.

##### Using internal access point for sd-card setup

Before starting the flash process download the necessary file. It is a zip file, that contains the initial default configuration additionally. You can identify it by the naming. It should contain `...remote-setup...` within the file name. Store this file locally you will need it later.

###### Flash the firmware with the WebInstaller

Instructions see above.

###### Connect to Device

During the first booting, the device identifies, that the wifi credentials as well as the configuration informations are missing.

Therefore a simple wifi access point is initiated and a simple internal web server is startet.

The naming of the wifi is "AI-on-the-edge" and you can access without any password.

You connect to the server with the fixed ip: http://192.168.4.1

###### Upload initial configuration to sd-card
