Jonny12375, on GitHub and Hackaday, shared a Pi Zero-shaped board which is not actually a Raspberry Pi, despite its familiar appearance.
Rather, the board is a clone featuring the RP3A0, the official name for the Pi Zero 2’s RP3L SoC.
Korean manufacturer Odroid made a similar product to the original Raspberry Pi, before supply issues dictated that official sources were the only way to get a real Pi.
This new clone was made using a chip desoldered from a genuine Pi.
Jonny12375 sanded down a Zero 2 to reveal its traces and vias to establish its pinout and create the cloned board, which currently has a few quirks but can still boot.
