.. zephyr:board:: opi_zero

Overview

Orange Pi Zero_ is an open-source single-board computer. It uses the AllWinner H2+/H3 SoC and comes with 256MB or 512MB of DDR3 SDRAM. The AllWinner H2+/H3 SoC is based on a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

The Allwinner H2+/H3 SoC needs to be initialized prior to running a Zephyr application. This can be achieved in a number of ways (e.g. Das U-Boot Secondary Program Loader (SPL), ...).

The instructions here use the U-Boot SPL. For further details and instructions for using Das U-Boot with Allwinner H2+/H3 SoCs, see the following documentation:

Building Das U-Boot

Clone and build Das U-Boot for the Orange Pi Zero:

.. code-block:: console

git clone -b v2024.01 https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git cd u-boot make distclean make orangepi_zero_defconfig export PATH=/path/to/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/:$PATH export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-zephyr-eabi- make sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=1024 seek=8

Building and Flashing

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :host-os: unix :board: opi_zero :goals: build

Copy the compiled zephyr.bin to the boot directory of the SD card and plug it into the board.

.. code-block:: console

=> fatload mmc 0:1 0x40000000 /boot/zephyr.bin => go 0x40000000

You should see the following output on the serial console:

.. code-block:: text
