The zero runs fine - beside that SDIO based WLAN as usual, but the zeros have Ethernet. I had it working with a NanoPi image. The H2+ and the H3 are almost identical, with the H2+ just missing some parts for 4k video. It is mostly that there are so many Orange Pi variants out there, that some don't have prebuild images. The only Orange Pi variant, which might not work, are the new 64bit H5 based PC2. -- B.Walter <bernd@bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
