The Orange Pi Zero

Today is a good day, the postman finally brought me my Pi Zero. Not sure why it took so long, but finally it is here. And boy, this thing is tiny. They sent me a lot of air form China with the almost empty box :).

So, here we go, that is a first unboxing impression.

It comes with an H2+ processor, that is the small brother of the H3 as in the Pi PC, which supposedly does not have the video and full peripheral support the H3 has, meaning it will have to run headless, which is the intention anyway. And also use a lot less power, not that it would really make a dent already. It's the 512MB version that cost 8.99$ + shipment from Aliexpress.

Good thing, it comes with built in Wifi, there is a small dipole antenna attached to it. It is replacable with that tiny plug you find in routers and Wifi cards, not sure how this standard is called. As such, it should also be fully supported by any of the available OSes, but more on that later.

Here are the unboxing pics.
