Raspberry Pi Zero (raspberry-pi0)
WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) has been considering dropping it. In some cases, the processor of the device may support the armv7 architecture. If so, you can modify the device package and change the architecture accordingly. |

Installation
1. Follow the steps on Installation_guide#Initialization
2. Choose the raspberry-pi0
device
3. Start the build process and install the completed image to a sdcard (replace /dev/sdX
with the device for your sdcard)
$ ./pmbootstrap.py install --sdcard /dev/sdX
4. Place the sdcard into the Raspberry Pi and boot it
5. Connect a microUSB cable to the central microUSB port (with the USB
label)
6. Let the RPI boot and then you should be able to connect using SSH
$ ssh user@172.16.42.1
