The GPIO pins are configured differently to the Raspberry Pi so that Pi hats and devices that connect directly to the GPIO pins won't necessarily work (notably I²C devices). This can be worked around, see below under ''Fire3 GPIO Pinout''.

While it claims to be, the Fire3's GPIO is actually not compatible with the [Raspberry Pi], notably the [I²C] bus is different. Most I²C software on the Pi uses pins 3 and 5, which are assigned to I²C __bus #1__, whereas on the Fire3 those two pins are assigned to __bus #0__.

On the Fire 3 __I²C Bus #1's SDA and SCL pins are pins 27 and 28 respectively__ rather than pins 3 and 5 as on the Raspberry Pi, so if you get your 3.3v and ground from somewhere on the GPIO bus and SDA and SCL from pins 27 and 28 you can use Pi I²C devices without resorting to altering Python library code (as most seem hard-coded on bus 1, a generally safe assumption).

%%information
__%%(font-size:large)Grumble...%%__ \\
Why FriendlyArm (who make the Fire3) and [Orange Pi] alter the locations of their I²C bus pins and still claim [Raspberry Pi] [GPIO] compatibility is a bit of a mystery. Sadly, on the Orange Pi there are no extant pins for I²C bus #1 at all. There may be some way of initialising a new bus in software and reassigning pins to be compatible with the Pi but that's beyond me (or my interest, frankly).
