  2. Use a USB to Ethernet adapter:

     • Use tools like nmap to find the IP address of the RPi in your local network.
     • Use SSH to connect to this IP

       Note: On Windows system use program Putty

  3. Use a USB to Serial adapter with 3.3V TTL level:

     • Connect to RPi debug-serial pins TXD and RXD
     • Use SSH to connect to this tty

       Note: On Windows system use program Putty

  4. Change boot files on MicroSD card for headless NDIS (USB/Ethernet) connection:

     • See: http://www.circuitbasics.com/raspberry-pi-zero-ethernet-gadget/ or https://www.factoryforward.com/pi-zero-w-headless-setup-windows10-rndis-driver-issue-resolved/
     • Use SSH to connect to raspberrypi.local

       Note: On Windows system use program Putty Note: NDIS setup a network with address 169.254../16. It can take several minutes til the DNS entry is available

• Login with user pi and password raspberry
