Base system

• Create initial system from scratch (sources): all the steps, using u-boot and Linux kernel sources.
• Rootfs guide to create either a minimal system using Busybox or a full Devuan GNU/Linux system.
• The "SD card creation" section from the "from scratch" page : also provides information to use u-boot, kernel, and Devuan root filesystem I built.
  

Connection and startup

USB-UART serial console connection

UART debug port

On the J3 connector (3 pins male 2.54mm, right behind the USB port, pin 1 on the 2x26pins connector side) :

pin 1 - GND

pin 2 - UART RX

pin 3 : UART TX

SD card boot

The OrangePi Zero 2 board boots from the SD card which has to be prepared following specific steps. Follow the "SD card creation" section from the "from scratch" page

Extension ports

The OrangePi Zero 2 board has two extension ports using common 2.54mm (0.1inch) pitch:

• con4 : 2x13
• con5 : 1x13
