Known issues

  • On first boot with Radxa Zero/Zero2, configuration can be slow. Better not enable wireless until the wizard has finished, restart of wizard takes a little time, be patient.
  • Wlan on Zero2 speed appears limited to around 200Mb/sec, which seems is odd. Expected around 433Mb/sec. Works fine though.
