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) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it. 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
