    My employer uses Debian on armel, but not d-i :-)

    3d printing environment relies heavily on whatever runs the rp2040. A
    whole industry has grown up around the combo of the adxl345 and an
    rp2040 to measure resonances and tune them out, allowing the printer to
    run several times faster with what is called "input shaping" The actual
    device is about the size of a postage stamp on a teeny pcb. I do not
    know which version of linux it is that the rp2040 is actually running.
    For us, its one of those things that Just Works.

    Cheers, Gene Heskett.

    The rp2040 does not run linux.

    Also late:
    I'm using it on a I/O-Mega IX2-200, using d-i as described here> https://github.com/artizirk/ix2-200

    To be honest: The upgrade to bookworm was made via apt.

    Fairly late, but just to avoid the impression there aren't any left:
    Yes, here.

    But that's not an objection against plans in Debian kernel and/or d-i,
    I'm using my own kernel, and should I ever have the need of a new installation, I know how to debootstrap and the rest.

    Besides, the hardware is a Seagate DockStar, so

    Architecture: armv5tel
    Byte Order: Little Endian
    CPU(s): 1
    On-line CPU(s) list: 0
    Vendor ID: Marvell
    Model name: Feroceon-88FR131

    and 128 Mbytes of RAM. Running Debian stable already requires some hacks
    to not end up in thrashing, I might do a presentation "Running Debian on small systems" some day about it.

    In summary, I'm glad Debian keeps supporting this device - but I'm
    aware the good times are in the past and it will very likely become
    e-waste before the hardware dies. If not Debian ends the support, the
    Linux kernel will.
