Piaware 10 SSH Issue: Port 22 Connection Refused

Has anyone else encountered an issue with Piaware 10? Despite adding an empty SSH file with no extension, SSH is not being activated, and the connection is being rejected.

I don’t use the SD card image myself currently, but based on the thread announcing Piaware 10 a number of config files previously in /boot are now in /boot/firmware. Have you tried putting the file there?

I had no issue when I set it up with a clean SD card. I put the text file SSH in the root of the card and it worked.

I had to add “SSH” to the config.txt file in /boot/firmware for this to work. Once file is updated you need to restart before it will work. (Connect monitor, access terminal ALT-F2, navigate to /boot/firmware and I used sudo nano config.txt and added SSH to the very end. Save and restart. (Consider making a backup of config.txt before hand just in case. sudo cp config.txt config.txt.bak_

What exactly did you add?
Just the word SSh, or a sentence like SSH=enabled or similar?

literally the letters SSH (as shown below, end clip of config.txt)

[cm5]
dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host

[all]
SSH

just remember to save the file and restart machine
