rusefi Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 I guess my application is IOT - I am getting data via USB and SPI, report status via GPIO LEDs and upload data to the internet. I am enjoying raspberrypi 3B but it's huge and relatively expensive. I am trying to return Orange Pi 2G IOT since it's a disaster. Looks like Orange Pi Zero for a bit under $20 would not be a disaster? Are there other boards to consider if I care about physical size and price?
devman Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Last I checked, wifi on the Zero was disabled by default due to quality issues (I did see some recent patches for it on github, but I don't _think_ armbian has them up) I've had decent luck with the FriendlyArm stuff. If you only need wifi, then take a look at the NanoPi duo 2
Werner Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Armbian ships a different driver for XR819 since quite a while. No idea though how much this increases the stability of WiFi since I never used it. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/5e7199f567c1fe9c5d9908968fd1614cbf294ee2/lib/compilation-prepare.sh#L252

I saw messages about an updated driver but thought it hadn't made it into the releases yet.
