first answer yes the boards are still maintained and alive. In production for
km_kirkwood our latest branch in use is 2016.10, but we keep it up to date
in case we need to upgrade.

I was not able to compile the latest master due to some problems most
likely related to my outdated host compiler, but I was compiling a version
for this target from the 2021.04 release and gave it a try on my board.
It seems to run without any issues. Also saving and reloading the
environment from eeprom works fine.

Best regards
Holger
