piCore for the H3 boards - Orange Pi, Nano Pi etc.

[jgrulich]

Good news. I've ported the piCore on the new Orange Pi Zero. Non with the 3.4.113 kernel.
The board works well, the idle consumption is 100mA@240MHz, the peak full speed consumption is 240mA@1,2GHz.
Compared with RPi3, the boot time is twice, but than the speed is comparable.
The on board wifi is working too, but not as good as the external Realtek based one. Seems that there are still some issues with the wifi driver and need tweak.

Newbie question: How would I install it to the OPi Zero; any differences from other boards?

So... is tiny a dead end on the OPi Zero? I've been looking for something, anything, how to install it.

What about this port  ? Who can throw it  ?

No one left this distribution? 

Throw off if someone left it please!

I think your best bet is to install Armbian, and use those resources listed in this thread.

While you could try and emulate piCore, you might even try getting familiar with how dCore works and starting from there.  I suppose you could track the debian/ubuntu kernels offered up by Armbian rather than debian/ubuntu directly.  Might make it easier.  Many possibilities.

If you are only doing shell stuff, a real easy option is to install Armbian, and install and track the version of BusyBox that *core uses.  Ie, download 1.27.2 of busybox (as of today, later versions are also available), do a make defconfig for busybox in Armbian, install it, and create the necessary symlinks (see the BB faq), and put it first in your path. 

That's what I'm doing with my LePotato board until I get the necessary skills to transform it in a dCore-like version.
