We have anything to get a Radxa Zero running, official support from Armbian, if Armbian does work for the Radxa Zero if downloaded from here:

  • From the Radxa download site Armbian is not listed yet:

https://wiki.radxa.com/Zero/downloads

  • and for the testing phase and final check of Armbian it is also not downloadable anymore in the Radxa forum here:

  • If these options do not work, these projects:

  • usb keyboard and mouse
  • Bluetooth keyboard and trackball
  • TFT display & touch & display keyboard
  • Wifi needs external antenna to work
  • SSD works with Debian
  • the mentioned project was designed for a real live off the road projects, but we do not know if it was used for this , and for how long
