I just got one, but have no idea if that would start with the OrangePi Zero2 image, and what library I should use for the GPIO.

@gounthar Did you managed to run OrangePi Zero2 image on the MangoPi MQ Quad?

 

This board looks promising, build quality is nice, and performance should be aloso good, but software support is really poor.

It does not start with 

Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Orangepizero2_sid_edge_6.1.6.img/Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Orangepizero2_sid_edge_6.1.6_minimal.img

nor with

Armbian_22.11.3_Orangepizero2_bullseye_edge_6.1.4_minimal.img

.
That was maybe not the best idea I ever had. 🤔

The supplied Debian image boots and starts an X session, but my USB-C hub (with Ethernet) is not recognized (it works with the RISC-V Nezha build from @balbes150), and my WaveShare hat (with USB and Ethernet) neither.
I'm kind of stuck, as I would like to add an existing WiFi network and get rid of all cables but the power. 🤷‍♂️
