• Single core (Zero and 1 - BCM2835): [[ $C == 0 ]]
• On-board Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: [[ ! $BB =~ ^(00|01|02|03|04|09)$ ]] (not zero, 1, 2)
• Ethernet:
  • Model A - without ethernet
  • Model B - on-board ethernet
• On-board HDMI: (If not connected, disabled by kernel.)
• None in Zero and Zero 2:
  • 3.5mm headphone output
  • DSI - MIPI display interface
