Raspberry Pi Zero 2W

I get the impression that the person who wrote about successfully working AROS on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W is right here. A user on the Raspberry Pi forum https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=400188 reported that the system boots up for them, but neither the mouse nor the keyboard works. Is this a regression, or did I get something wrong?

Here you mean on the forums? Yes - bsek has account here and I see him online from time to time.

I phrased that poorly and have already corrected the post; I didn't mean Bo specifically, but rather someone who has a Pi Zero and reported that it works correctly for them (that was a while ago, so it involved older builds). A problem is being reported now, and perhaps we could verify it among ourselves.

The Pi Zero 2W seems to be the hardware equivalent of the Pi 3B, minus a few ports. If it works on the Pi 3B, it should probably work on the Zero 2W as well. I'm having some minor USB issues with my 3B+, but I thought it was the Pi-Top case problem. Sometimes everything works fine immediately after powering on, but sometimes the touchpad doesn't activate, and I have to restart the computer, sometimes several times, to get it working.

Hi,

I do not have a pi zero but added this issue into this bug report https://github.co...ssues/1408 as not sure if related.
Pi zero only has 1 usb port for data afaik, the other is power

Only one USB port... which means you'll need a hub - and that might be the problem. Thanks for the bug report.

I also experienced nonresponsive keyboard/mouse on the 2w - same issue with the (original pi) mouse attached directly to the pi without a hub.

Hi,

Issue has been edited and pi zero information removed.

Probably needs the original person to raise an issue.

Well, we have to adapt to the current rules. I sent a PM to two people on this forum who have Zero 2W. If they confirm the bug, we'll report it as a new bug report.
