ix2-200 Debian installation (3 replies)

Hi all.
I really understand that a lot of success stories of Debian (and overall Linux installation) in the ix2-200 device.
But most of them are outdated, so I took the liberty of start this topic.

Story is: I have old (but still in very good and factory shape) ix2-200. It worked fine before one disk got damages, and I've shelved the device. Now I want to restore it, but want also to install Debian (or Arch Linux) on it.
Because of very good explained instruction of Sven Kiljan (https://kiljan.org/2021/04/22/installing-arch-linux-arm-on-an-iomega-ix2-200/) I started with installation of Arch Linux, not a Debian but stucked on the part when I need to download the the latest Arch Linux ARMv5 distro, but how Sven explains on the top of the page it's not longer supporting by Arch Linux. I guess with some difficulty I can find the latest Arch Linux distro, but once it's no more support, may be it will be not a best choice.
In this case I need to look at the side of Debian? If I understood right, they still support Kirkwood platform.
By the way, when I started with Sven tutorial, I tried first to use ssh access (I still have it because the device is still on factory firmware), and read the NAND config with command

 fw_printenv

But I received

Warning: Bad CRC, using default environment

bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
bootdelay=5

May be somebody knows why?

So I tried then to access an UART access, and here the NAND config looks correct:

At this time I went to check any good tutorial how to install Debian including on this Forum.
Here I found a link to good tutorial: https://minaret.biz/tips/ix2/index.html, but if I understood well it's for ix2 (not ix2-200) device, and this are different devices, correct? So this tutorial is not suitable for me?
And also I saw the topics from the people who tried to flash Debian on their ix2-200 and receive the brick.
Because of all of the above I decided to start this topic with a question:

How to painless install latest possible Debian version on ix2-200 in 2024? :)
