Radxa Zero 3W with APPFV OpenIPC v0.0.1
This is a pre-built image for the Radxa Zero 3W that lets you stream OpenIPC video using the APPFV firmware.
Warning!
You need to connect a 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz antenna to the UFL port on the Radxa board!
This firmware uses the built-in AIC8800 Wi-Fi module on the Radxa Zero 3W board and automatically connects to APPFV OpenIPC.
The image is pre-configured to connect to the APPFV firmware's wireless network using the default credentials.
