Ah, I think I got a nibble there!

The major issue, if it is actually an issue, is that we use Jenkins,
which necessitates running Java on the device. It might be possible to
write a special kind of Jenkins slave that instead of doing anything
itself, sshed commands to another slave on the RISC OS machine, if
running Java on such a device is untenable.

Mine's currently broken, somehow. Both video and (more importantly)
network have stopped working. I should perhaps buy another one, you're
quite right! (But my own bias is towards running a unix on it.)
