Alternative to
Raspberry Pi 5
Evidence: Inferred
Both are Raspberry Pi Linux single-board computers; the alternative reading (smaller/cheaper-range vs. full-size board) is our inference. The brief calls the Zero range "our most affordable range of single-board computers"

Caveats
Source is the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W product brief only. The brief does not state GPIO logic level, so logic_level_v is left empty and no GPIO bus list is recorded. The 40-pin header is an unpopulated footprint (headers are not fitted). Input power is given as 5V DC 2.5A (a rating for the supply, not a measured consumption). Documentation review only; no hands-on testing.
