Hi Guix, After few… years (😵!?) I gave another try to Guix on A20-OLinuXino-LIME2. Here is how it went…
I installed the latest Armbian (`25.2.0-trunk.72 bookworm`) on a new SD. I updated the package list and then… `guix pull`! 83860 new commits and 7 hours later it successfully finished! 🎉 This is already better than last time! Than, I tried to build the installation image: ``` $ guix system image --system=armhf-linux -e '((@ (gnu system install) os-with-u-boot) (@ (gnu system install) installation-os) "A20-OLinuXino-Lime2")' Mise à jour du canal « guix » depuis le dépôt Git « https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git »... substitute: mise à jour des substituts depuis « https://ci.guix.gnu.org »... 100.0 % substitute: mise à jour des substituts depuis « https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org »... 100.0 % substitute: mise à jour des substituts depuis « https://ci.guix.gnu.org »... 100.0 % substitute: mise à jour des substituts depuis « https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org »... 100.0 % substitute: mise à jour des substituts depuis « https://ci.guix.gnu.org »... 100.0 % substitute: mise à jour des substituts depuis « https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org »... 100.0 % construction de /gnu/store/0nibhnjnvicz8j9vpnmd3cmff395nfww-config.scm.drv... construction de /gnu/store/7whyplznhnkmsjwfqm85bdw44yz6v133-git.scm.drv... construction de /gnu/store/q45178ins451323zfmhajswzmh0k47b7-hash.scm.drv... construction de /gnu/store/ac3siz1a847aslxfbnw6hfhbdkxz79vr-module-import.drv... construction de /gnu/store/zqs7axm2gc68fr6pnlr18k7zdmii5hxz-module-import.drv... construction de /gnu/store/7shg17mgalpbrfdpbw80jy3cjafmr2b1-module-import-compiled.drv... construction de /gnu/store/m1r2036l5r3dms4lsgyqqk8v71zyfzrq-module-import-compiled.drv... construction de /gnu/store/xnfzrk0cxg405d463j7xl5y767xf3xaw-compute-guix-derivation.drv...

For instance, what should the `bootloader` section be?! 🤔 [1]: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/guix-on-an-arm-board/ Any help, idea or advice would be welcome! Best regards, -- Tanguy
