Does .Net Core 3.1 run on an Orange Pi Zero?

I'm trying to figure out if .Net Core 3.1 will run on an Orange Pi Zero.

I need to create an app for it which reads/writes to both the serial port and GPIO ports, and since the only programming language I know is C#, my two options are Mono or .Net Core. I'd prefer .Net Core if possible...

From what I've read, for .Net Core to run on an ARM CPU, the CPU must be at least ARMv7. I see the Orange Pi Zero uses an AllWinner H2 SOC, which has an ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, which implements the ARMv7-A architecture. So I think it should work... Could anyone please confirm this? Thanks
