GPIO pinout of the Raspberry Pi Zero
The Raspberry Pi Zero features a single-core Broadcom BCM2835 processor running at 1GHz, 512MB of RAM and connectors for Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1 and microUSB. The Raspberry Zero has a 40-pin GPIO (General Purpose Input/ Output), composite video output (TV), two micro-USB connectors (one for power, one for USB peripherals) and a mini-HDMI connector.
The Raspberry Pi Zero is the smallest single-board Raspberry Pi minicomputer. The Raspberry Pi Zero mainly runs Linux kernel-based operating systems such as Raspbian, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Core, OSMC, OpenELEC, LibreELEC, Android, Arch Linux ARM, openSUSE, Gentoo Linux, CentOS, Fedora, Kali Linux, and others. In May 2016, version 1.3 of the Raspberry Pi Zero with a CSI port for camera connection was introduced.

Raspberry Pi Zero operating system
A Micro USB power port is provided for electrical connection. The recommended voltage is 5 V, with an output current of 2 A. For operation, you’ll need a microSD card, on which you can write an image of the Linux-based Raspbian distribution. When you switch on Raspbian, the system is loaded in a few seconds with the graphical Raspbian command interpreter, similar to Windows.
