We’ll need three pieces of software to complete the set up of our Orange Pi Zero: This tutorial assumes you’re working on a computer running Windows. You’ll also need three jumper wires to connect the serial converter to the Orange Pi Zero. Whatever converter you choose, make sure it’s designed for 3.3V logic levels, not for 5V, and certainly not for RS232 signalling levels. I use the Sparkfun Beefy 3 which features the FTDI FT231X USB to serial chip. a router) with a wired or wifi connection internet access and a desktop or laptop computer.Īlthough not strictly required, a USB-to-Serial converter designed for 3.3V TTL logic levels can really come in handy. Many modern, good quality mobile phone chargers will do just fine. a stable 5V power supply rated at 2 amps and a cable with a micro USB plug.There are two models with different amounts of RAM installed - a 512MB version and a 256MB version. In this tutorial I provide step-by-step instructions to get a working Armbian Linux environment on the Orange Pi Zero. Linux support is very good, thanks to Armbian.Full specs and other useful information is available on the wiki. it is quite powerful, having an Allwinner H2+ system-on-chip (SoC) featuring a quad core ARM Cortex-A7 processor.
it supports wifi as well as wired ethernet.it forgoes things like HDMI connectors, making it ideal for headless, embedded applications.
The Orange Pi Zero is a neat low cost single board computer:
