I tested on the oldest Pi i could find in my collection and it worked on the Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1. I used the Linux 32 ARM internet adapter.
Linux version 5.15.84+ (dom@buildbot) (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-8 (Ubuntu/Linaro 8.4.0-3ubuntu1) 8.4.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.34) #1613 Thu Jan 5 11:58:09 GMT 2023
processor : 0
model name : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l) # <---
BogoMIPS : 697.95
Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0xb76
CPU revision : 7
Hardware : BCM2835
Revision : 0010
Serial : 00000000b2e7d069
Model : Raspberry Pi Model B Plus Rev 1.2
I tried following that thread but they have A.D.D. lol. Looks like it ended with a reference to another bug ID. Maybe check that and see what progress or work around. It seems to only affect serial.io from what I understand. So I’m sure it’s need fixed by now. Well, hoping it has been
Otherwise I guess a newer pi by 1 generation is needed.
I suspect nabud would compile but you’ll miss the features of RetroNET and new stuff that get added often. Since I’m throwing a pi in mine I should really finish the IA Control binary lol. I announced I was doing it 4 months ago and haven’t worked on it since. That’s what the other guys are calling “headless”. I just didn’t finish it because it wasn’t a priority for me hehe

Definitely not a rabbit hole I'm interested in going down for a ridiculously old RPi Just thought I'd throw out the info as to why it probably wasn't working.
Oh that’s good to hear. I usually wouldn’t suggest to revive such an old hardware. But ever since I released the internet adapter to the retro world, I’ve been bombarded with ppl complaining it doesn’t work on windows xp. Or some weird Linux distro that no one else has heard of. Or Beos. Or Mac system 7.

Looking forward - very much - to the "headless" version!

Lol so I kind of go with the flow now
Yes, the "core" debian (Rasapian, RaspberryPi OS) will run fine on the ARMv6, but so many newly created or updated additional systems do not / have not ever supported ARMv6.. I would agree, don't even try using a Pi 1 or 1B...

I have set my Pi3B up with a script to toggle the boot autostart from one NABU server to the other, ready for when my NABU arrives.
I may even get industrious and hook up a GPIO button to do it or do it programmatically, will have to see how I go!

oh that's a neat idea to use gpio!
Thanks, I've added shutdown via a GPIO button multiple times so it should not be too tricky! You could even do it with the "off the shelf" scripts and just make that script "toggle" your boot, ie; one power off it selects one server, the next power off it uses the other.
