Radxa Zero 3W

I purchased my 2GB RAM / 16GB eMMC board from AllNet here:

And it is listed on OKdo here:

You can find my review of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W here:

Great video, I think that the Zero versions of RPi, Orange, Banana and this one are keeping alive the original spirit of the RPi ; low power-low performance-high amounts of fun!

I started working with computers in 1969 - you know, the ones that filled rooms, used punched-cards, etc etc etc. I still do a bit of software development, some for payment, some for my own tinkering projects. You'd think I should know better by age 74! It is totally insane that a thing like this, that will fit into a matchbox, can run a full operating system with a graphical UI. It's stuff like this that keeps me interested - great stuff, thanks for your videos.

Aaahhh!! Thank you! When I first heard of a "Zero 3W" SBC, I assumed that the W might have something to do with the board consuming 3 watts of power. Now after watching 0:45, I see that the W obviously indicates that it is a wireless model, contrasted with the 3E Ethernet model. It's so important to clarify one's terms that it actually makes one feel brighter. What a relief!

The Radxa 3E is such a great version, I really prefer wired connections over wireless connections whenever possible.

[RoboNuggie]

Interesting little machine, and the future plans with it's variants is a great idea if they come to fruition... Thank you Chris!

[HungarianManbeast]

I have the radxa zero 2 and I love it, good to see that they can even improve on that design

[ritmo]

So amazing to me to see that little board running a GUI OS, I wouldn't ask for more from that little guy. Think about how many projects can be achieved with it. Thanks Cris!!

[Pallidus_Rider]

Amazing technology - looking back at my Zenith 286 with 10MB hard drive and Enable office suite, makes me blush 😄

[Aruneh]

As always with these, the problem is the software support. The PoE option does look very interesting though!

[judsonleach]

When I get paid Thursday I'm gonna buy my FIRST Ras Pi 5 ! - Super excited!!

[giannistsolebas]

SBCs have gone wild these days, for a simple desktop user is absolutely worth owning one of those than a low end PC. Radxa made a very solid piece of material right there!

2:13 rpilocator is showing good availability of the Pi Zero 2W here in the UK

I love your channel! May it be for updates about what's new in the SBC world, useful software tools, or explanations about the technical workings of information technology. Keep up the great work and your unique, professional and calm video style!

[lawrenceallwright]

No tools required, although nice to see Mr Screwdriver still makes himself useful as a pointer. CB finally admitting defeat with his huge fingers trying to point out tinier and tinier and tinier features on a board!

[litebkt]

I look forward to your videos, Chris. Thank you.

Hi Cris, for the Orange PI Zero 2W remember that the GPU is not enabled by default but it can be enabled in the "orangepi-config" menu that Orange PI includes in their OS. Altrought tbh i like the Orange PI Zero 3 more, it is almost at the same price but includes Gigabit Ethernet...

The good thing about this radxa version, the RK3566 is by far better supported than the H618. And the WIFI chip on the Zero2 W seems to have a few issues (it is the same wifi chip used in the Orange Pi3B)

[johndroyson]

Thank you for the informative video. These interesting hardware reviews are a real treat.

to use sd-card only for booting and emmc for real os:
- dd the sd-card to emmc, mount and fix emmc's /etc/fstab to emmc'c root, boot from sd-card, install os-prober, run it and reboot. then you can select either sd or emmc to run debian from when booting the sd-card

Good morning algorithm. Yes, more Explaining Computers please :)

I have become so addicted to your uniqe transitions. Well played.
