   • Restart with sudo reboot and log in again using SSH.

2. Enable i2c and SPI:

   • Use sudo raspi-config to enable I2C and SPI interfaces.
   • For Rak Hotspot Miner V2, edit /boot/firmware/config.txt to add dtoverlay=spi0-1cs.
   • Save, exit, and restart with sudo reboot, then log in again using SSH.
