How to enable dropbear SSH server on a i.MX8 Mini

[robiwan]

I have a setup with the iMX8 Mini running was is said as "NXP i.MX Release Distro 5.4-zeus".

SSH seems to be disabled by default, and dropbear seems to be available. But I'm having no luck trying to enable dropbear through systemd.

Help?

Ok, it seems the problem was that I had setup a static IP address (via systemd) and the netmask was incorrect, so dropbear.socket failed to start. With correct netmask, problem is resolved.
