can someone confirm whether alwinner h616 and h618 have compatible pin configurations or not

I'm trying to install mraa for a while now in orangepi zero 3 armbian comm builds that I have installed on my orangepi zero 2 w. I have difficulty finding proper installation guides as all seems to throw out errors from being not updated. I figured I would have to build libmraa for armbian but couldn't successfully do it. I'm running into dependency issues with nodejs-dev and swig. Any headsup regarding this would be great. Thanks in advance.

This is so cool, I remember reading about this in the Orange Pi user manual but skipped over it because I found it annoying for some reason that I don't remember now. I set this up and man it's really convenient not to have hdmi and stuff to test linux builds and experiment with your SBC. I also found that we have to enable UART serial console in some SBCs and distros by modifying image files? Is this the case or all distros provide a way to access serial console in some way? I really like this serial console setup, thanks for that suggestion again.

On another note is there any way to configure the headless start of ssh and autologin setup on armbian images. I have to go to some other place to test a new armbian image because I don't have the required HDMI cables and monitors. so it would be convenient for me if I could also setup the image to setup ssh and autologin on the first start. I've explored the forums only to find confusing and sometimes angry arguments. If anyone of you do care and have a method to make it work by modifying a file before boot or something, let me know. Sorry if this is a dumb or unpleasant question in any way.

Playing with the latest community build armbian for opi zero 3 on my opi zero2w, didn't test ethernet yet Few observations: there are some broken menus in armbian-config desktop default menu seems to be not working and working sometimes apt update results in ``` Hit:5 http://fi.mirror.armbian.de/beta bookworm InRelease Err:5 http://fi.mirror.armbian.de/beta bookworm InRelease The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 93D6889F9F0E78D5 ``` not sure if these are supposed to happen. and yes i switched to unstable 6.7.10 kernel like a madman only to notice all the gpio harware configurations from armbian-config disappear. my priorities were to setup gpio and run a docker with a python webserver first. I'm looking for a good library for gpio interface on noticed @Gunjan Gupta mention mraa library in another post, I have some trouble installing it in above setup, where can I look for good references. Sorry for the ramblings any suggestions are welcome.

@SteeMan Thank you for the quick response! sorry for posting without searching through the whole forum, found some interesting builds to test on Orange Pi Zero 3 forum, I'll follow the development there. Thanks again. For those who stumble upon here in the future:

Hii, newbie here, I'm here to test new builds for Orange Pi Zero 2W, pretty excited about the 6.8 support too. I'm going to test the build by @ag123 for now and share updates. Any other builds I could test apart from that please let me know. Sorry if this is annoying but would love to know the progress on the 6.8 build too @Igor @Gunjan Gupta And if I want to get started on learning this linux builds and possibly help in the development process where should I start. Thanks in advance. 🥂

@TRay So when can we expect a supported build for orangepi zero 2w :)
