Not sure if this helps..but the stock build is lacking...plus I am getting 1.0 cpu usage at idle

Wish there was an official Armbian build...it usually seems much more "complete"

@WarHawk_AVG As Werner said, we don't support this board. But taking an educated guess, I will suggest you blacklist sprdwl_ng module or if its loading through a service or from /etc/modules then remove the same from there. That will lower your load average. You will lose wifi support though as that module is the wifi driver.

I can confirm, after installing Armbian for Orange Pi 3 zero on the Orange Pi zero 2w that WiFi, Bluetooth and HDMI is working!

If i can, yes there is a little differnce beetwen zero3 and zero2W, the ethernet port, is-it possible to add another eth port inside the dtb for a full compatibility with the zero2w?

for the 2W the eth port is directly connect on the processor H618

Looking on news about kernel 6.8 :

 

https://www.cnx-software.com/2024/03/11/linux-6-8-release-notable-changes-arm-risc-v-mips-architectures/#arm-updates-in-linux-6-8

 

it was added support for Orange Pi Zero 2W:

Arm updates in Linux 6.8

As usual, there were a lot of changes to the Arm architecture:

Allwinner

Allwinner A100 – RGB LED controller

Allwinner H616 – ASoC driver adds SPDIF hardware block

Allwinner T113-S3 – Thermal controller

New devices

Orange Pi Zero 2W single board computer (Allwinner H618)

...

There are no plans for Armbian to officially support this board. 

 

If community members step up to the task, there may a a community maintained version specific to that board.  But currently people report success with the zero3 community maintained build working on the zero2w.

@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:

Forgive me if I am missing something. I have a 1.5GB oPiZ2W and I cannot get it to boot with the community builds or the unofficial builds. No green activity light, just the red power light. No output from HDMI. I've let it sit like this for 15 minutes and still nothing. Is there something else I need to do to get this to boot? I've had no issues with the Debian/Ubuntu images provided by OrangePi.

The issue is the 1.5gb memory.  That particular memory configuration isn't currently working.  Look back in the threads for the 2w and 3 and you can see a lot of discussion on this topic.

@ag123 Thank you. I was able to apply that patch and now Armbian is running on my OPIZ2W 1.5GB!

One more question. I have a LoRa/GNSS hat that requires the use of Serial 0 for communication with the GNSS model. How would I go about disabling Armbian debug outputing to that? I would rather not have to use bodge wires. `gpioinfo` shows me that the 2 pins are used by the kernel. Do I need to recompile the kernel to change this? Seems like a lot of the hats/shields that use Serial need to use Serial0... So I'm thinking there must be a simple way to get it working in Armbian.

I'd guess it is good to leave the default serial uart console running there as otherwise if things goofs, you may have no means to login onto the board.

with the serial console, you can connect a usb-uart serial dongle and login to Armbian on the board.

 

but if you insist you can nevertheless try going into /usr/lib/systemd/system
look for those *getty* (e.g. ls *getty*), it would be one of those services.

 

but that for debug output I'm not sure about that though, a google search I'd guess would get some leads e.g.

https://superuser.com/questions/351387/how-to-stop-kernel-messages-from-flooding-my-console

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/working_with_the_serial_console

 

I'd suggest to browse that same Orange Pi Zero 3 thread and figure out how to use a different serial uart port, there are probably more than a single uart port available on Orange Pi Zero 2W or Orange Pi Zero 3. using a different serial comm (uart) port is the correct solution in your case and you won't need to be bothered about console messages as they won't be there.

Using a different UART is not really practical with a hat/shield designed to use UART0... It would be better for the system to use one that isn't commonly required by hats/shields to be the debug interface. I'll keep looking around.

Hi, I am new here but been playing with the opi zero 2w for a bit with the zero 3 image. So happy to now see 2w images have appeared. I have the expansion board and was hoping to get the ethernet port working at some point. I mainly want to use this device to run headless and be able to shut it down when I push one of the buttons on the expansion board. Is this possible with any of the current images?

That Community Version of Ubuntu Jammy is working really well for me on this device Orange Pi Zero 2W.

 

With one exception:  No sound card found.

 

Maybe these are clues on how to bake this in to next Community Version Ubuntu Jammy update, not sure?:
