Hi Igor

Is there a plan to release a version of armbian for the new Orange Pi Zero that has just become available?

Yes, it's planned. We need some time ...

It's stable but avaliable as preview images since we need to add wireless driver and fix some minor issues.

Thanks for the update. Will download now. Are the UART settings the same on the Pi Zero?

Serial console works out of the box if you are asking that.

Hi, is the wireless already working on Armbian for OPI Zero?

Yes, it's workin fine for me but am hearing that people have some problems ... so there could be still some rough edges. There was also attempt to bring wifi to mainline but don't know if it's done / working ok.

Running Armbian 5.24 jessie - wifi works, but with big latency

Type:

iwconfig wlan0 power off

Copy code

Will be fixed in the future releases ...

Anyone could point me a tutorial to setup wifi at the pi zero?
Edit:

Well, I managed to create wpa_supplicant.conf with my SSID and PSK but when I try to connect typing "wpa_supplicant -D nl80211 -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf" or "wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf" it always get stuck.
My psk has special characters, so I generated wpa_supplicant.conf with this command: wpa_passphrase MySSID < ~/MyPSK.txt > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
