Hi Team I have two brand new Orange PI Zero LTS.

Is this supported with the normal Zero download?

 

Thanks

 

 

Xulung states that the hardware is basically identical. They just rearranged stuff to reduce wire length and various other optimizations like that. So yes, the software is the same in every aspect.

Hi Werner, yes I downloaded the software and it worked just as it had with the prior version of Debian no problem.

Debian Buster seems really stable.

Please note it's almost always better to get a local purchased power supply.

I got mine from Conrad for Raspberry 3B and it works great with both my new OrangePI Zero LTS.

 

 

Question: does the so so WIFI is better with the LTS than the original Pi Zero?

No. Same crappy chip.

The newer H3 version of the LTS does not seem to work at all with available images, though I haven't tried it yet on the OpiPC image. It has that same Pulse chip that I don't think the OpiPC has on it.

FWIW, I just received a new OPi0 LTS H3 today and popped in a microsd with Armbian 23.02 Bullseye. Started up properly and seems to be working fine. Haven't pushed the wifi at all hard yet, but even that has been okay so far.

FWIW - I have an H3 OrangePi Zero LTS on my desk - 23.5.1 Jammy/Bookworm were unbootable, hanging on

Starting Kernel...

 

Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepizero_jammy_current_6.1.30.img.xz
Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepizero_bookworm_current_6.1.30_minimal.img.xz

 

Using 

Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepizero_bullseye_current_5.15.93_minimal.img.xz

It booted straight away.

Known issue. Either stick with the older release for now or go for edge based: https://github.com/armbian/community
