connect to it. If your phone is on the same WiFi network as the board and the network allows scanning (E.g. home
network), there are network scanner apps that can be used from your phone (e.g. iOS/Android: Fing) that can help
identify the IP address of board.
If you know how to configure Linux network connections manually, you can also do this from a terminal.
