The trezor is a hardware bitcoin wallet made by satoshilabs used to secure online transactions. The security reside in the fact that the private key used to sign a transaction never leave the device.
The raspberry pi zero is a very cheap and small but yet powerful computer. You can buy one for about 5$. It is used on numerous projects by ton of developers and hobbyists around the world.
Features:
- Low cost parts

- Use the original trezor code. Only a thin layer is used to adapt the code to the pi zero Linux platform.
- All code modifications are open source, like the original trezor code.
- 100% Compatible with trezor web wallet to perform transactions.

Pretty nice stuff.
I do not know how this firmware works, how secure it is from a file point of view ?
Firmware is on the sd card. The passphrase is not stored on it and the host computer cannot read it directly.
Excellent work! Does anybody know of a cheap source of Pi Zeros in the UK, Amazon and Ebay seem very quite pricey I don't want to pay $20 when the rest of trhe world is paying $5.
you can check pimonori.com or thepihut.com . UK based and I already ordered from them.
