USB mouse, keyboard and memory stcks are now working on Pi zero 2W :-). Mouse and keyboard need to be conected at startup via a hub but memory sticks can be connected after boot. There are still some issues with removing and reconnecting though; sometimes the devices are recognised, sometimes not. However, it's great to be able to use the system.
Wifi is working for me; I connected through IPv4, DHCP for all settings. Connection is WPA encrypted. Ping works, although a bit slow (about 70 ms per ping compared to a few ms for my laptops).
I can change screen resolutios, although if I drag the screen down is goes black for a moment at the start and end of the drag.
Looking forward to doing further tests :-)
Cheers,
Nigel.
P.S. This is using 64 bit system.
Hi,
I did not have much luck either, but I hate setting up wifi (always do something wrong) and prefer wired ethernet. Plug and play everytime for me.
Hopefully ntromans will have a chance to play and confirm if it is a issue or not.
Think it now works for me, needed to remove bsdsockets error, put wifi details in and message no longer asks for bsdsockets.

3 days agoI connected to my home Wi-Fi network, set up DHCP, and pinged the router. Unfortunately, there's no route to host. What about you?
Hi,
Another developer, Jonx, has been working on Raspberry Pi 4 support, and it is now booting. Proper USB support should be ready in a couple of days.
There’s no audio, networking, or graphics driver support yet, apart from a framebuffer driver.
The plan is to make the port stable across the Pi 2–4, for both ARM and AArch64 with working networking, audio and 3D graphics.
If possible, Pi 5/500 support will follow after that.
if AROS really works on ARM contrib should be created too
In the latest build from August 9th, I found new .dbt files with the newer Raspberry Pi model numbers in their names, "4, 5, 500." Does this mean AROS will support the newer models?
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!
If you want, you can also try out the Wi-Fi driver. It's called bwfm.device (just select it from the list).
The setup should be the same as for any other Wi-Fi driver.
I guess there is no network software that makes it very useful though, but at least you can verify if you get an ip address or not.

Hi,
Pi 3B v1.2 with 6th August
Both - keyboard popup appeared and keyboard works but no mouse popup at first but does are multiple removals/reinsertions and mouse now active and mouse cursor works.
Only mouse - like above no initial popup but popups work after removal/reinsertions - mouse works and cursor moves
Only keyboard - no initial popup but popups work after removal/reinsertions - keyboard works now
Neither - keyboard / mouse works after being plugged in with popups for each
Think they are all low, and yes Trident shows them as low
FYi, HDMI and plugin audio works and VideoCore HDMI resolution can be changed
