I am building a hardware device as a devkit and shipping it to customers. I pre-format the SD cards with the base OS, hardware configuration, and SDKs for developing software. My customers just need to set their home Wifi credentials and they have a remove devkit they can begin using immediately.
With wpa_supplicant this works awkwardly, but okay. My users will write to the SD card the first time and then have a wireless remote development environment.
Using the rpi imager isn't an option because they'll be flashing a fresh image and overwriting my custom one. Hosting the image and making them flash their own seems a heavy burden to being able to use their device for the first time, and I'll have to host the image somewhere....
It'd be really nice to have an easy way to set the Wifi credentials for the first boot.....
