  If you don't want to clone and build on raspbian, I've added two more options to the readme:

  1. download a zip file, unzip to a freshly fat32-formatted sd, and watch nim blink the led on any model of rpi
  2. in addition to any model of rpi, ultibo supports the qemu implementation of the versatible platform board, so I put an instance of it running in the cloud. Of course it doesn't have an led like an rpi does, but it does have vnc so you can connect and watch the led counter on the screen.

  p.s. for some reason you need to move your mouse cursor for the vnc screen to update

  @markprocess It works, AWESOME!!! Tried it on my RPi1 - model B and the LED is blinking! This opens up so many possibilities!

  Need to look at the source and try building it myself next.

  Thanks, Matic

  Swell!

  For you and others I've opened Survey and discussion - dev host and rpi equipment to collect basic information that should help focus further efforts.

  FYI I am outof the office until Tue Aug 14th. Mark.
