More mumbling. The good thing about playing with this, is I ran into a Fault in the almost to be released ArduinoCore-zephyr in SocketWrapper, and yesterday we tracked it down and and a fix was merged in. 
And it was able to read the weather information over Wifi and display the data
on the USBCVideo monitor:
The layout could be cleaned up and lots more space. The layout here was setup
to display on the GIGA display...
Also good news: Arduino this morning released ArduinoCore-zephyr 1.1.0
Both the UNOs and the Arduino others boards... Which I have updated now on both
the IDE and Applab.
I am guessing that @ptillisch will be posting more about the new release soon.
So far I have only tried a few things.
Like this is the first time I tried using Ethernet on my H7 in the Mid Carrier and it worked to ping Google...
Still wondering about:
The OTA examples that were added in this release, run but don't appear to do anything except:
Full OTA update (loader + sketch) over Ethernet
Waiting for link...
IP: 192.168....

I am guessing there is some other piece that needs to be installed?
The OTA examples and header file and readme don't give many clues:

The build maybe gives some hints:
File does not have an ELF header, adding empty space

But for now back to other diversions.
One note: I am finding that after I download a new sketch, I may be losing some of the first several lines of output:
That is I ran the example twice. First time it ran after I uploaded, I ran it again by pressing the reset button:

EDIT - I meant to mention that the sketch has in it:
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) {
delay(10);
}
Serial.println("Full OTA update (loader + sketch) over Ethernet");
