Radxa Zero
Supported since Batocera v33, this little chip is a micro-powerhouse!
The Radxa Zero comes with a u-boot from the factory that does not allow booting off the micro-SD
card, so it is recommended instead to install Batocera to the eMMC storage. Incidentally, this means
you can reserve the eMMC entirely for Batocera while using a larger micro-SD card to act as your
userdata partition. Organization!
You will need a computer with Python 3 (including PIP3) installed.
Flash Batocera to the Radxa Zero's eMMC
Remove any Micro-SD card that you might have in the Radxa Zero.

OTG USB-C port (can use a USB-C to

Press the USB button underneath the board. The Radxa is now attempting to connect to your
3.
computer as a USB gadget (OTG).
