== Connect to the Orange Pi Zero ==

 1. Downoad debian image - https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/
 1. Write to SD on laptop using {{{
xzcat /path/to/your-armbian-image.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync
}}}
 1. Plug the sd into the OrangePi0
 1. Plug in the mini USB to power up the OrangePi0
 1. Connect a Eth cat5 from OrangePi0 to laptop
 1. Set Debian laptop eth0 wired IPv4 to "Shared with other computers"
    * This configured the eth0 with ip 10.42.0.1 and hands out dhcp IP's
    * Using tcpdump i saw the OrangePi0 requesting ip and getting 10.43.0.223
 1. SSH into !OrangePiZero {{{
ssh root@10.43.0.223
#Password: 1234
# Request to set new root password and add initial user
}}}
 1. Tried to get Wifi to work - it can see AP but not connect, seems due to bad support for "onboard XR819" chipset.
    * Recommendation is to get USB wifi :(
