If you treat the non-free boot firmware like people treat BIOS/EFI on x86 systems, and leave it up to the end-user to set that up, it's probably technically possible. There may be some drivers that require non-free firmware (e.g. wireless) that will not work with Guix's linux-libre kernel. The two options I see would be to add support for the boot configuration used by the raspberry pi firmware, or for a little more flexible option, configure the raspberry pi firmware to load u-boot and then use the existing infrastructure to generate u-boot configuration files. Since there's at least one major non-free component involved, I'm not quite sure how it all sits with following the FSDG: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html Though, one could treat that like BIOS/EFI on x86... live well, vagrant signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Run GuixSD on Raspberry pi
Hello I know that could install guix as a package manager on armhf architecture.Including raspberry pi board. But is there any way to install guixsd image on raspberry pi? I saw the gnu/system/install.scm and there is some little board that supported by it. Regards.

Hi, Hartmut Goebel <h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com> skribis: > quick answer: What is the status of GuixSD for Raspberry? Searching the > web did not help finding this out. GuixSD has not been ported to ARM in general. Porting means adding support for U-Boot and the kernel with the right settings for the target board. Danny would know better, but it seems to me that there’s little that’s missing! Thanks, Ludo’.
