[arm-allstar] Pi zero w

[David McGough]

Larry,

Yes, the RPiZW2 works great.  With the current HamVoIP firmware image,
you've got to pre-install (bootstrap) on an RPi3 or 4, upgrade the image
to the latest code and setup WiFi.  Once this is completed, shutdown the
RPi, remove the SD card and then place the card in the RPiZW2.  It should 
boot and work basically like a RPi3A+, from a peripheral standpoint.  I'm 
using several RPiZW2 boards, for single nodes.  They're working GREAT!

At a $15 price point, I expect these will become the device of choice for 
single node systems, once this crazy supply chain / chip shortage problem 
resolves.

73, David KB4FXC

Did you ever post an update on what (if anything special) needed to be 
done to make it work?

If so I missed it ... any enlightenment?
