Hi Luke and Eric,

...

great! let's take a look... https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-07/msg00515.html ha! looks like someone's been working on porting GuixSD to ARM already. it shouuuld be an extremely straightforward task if you're

Yes Danny has been involved in the GuixSD bootloader serie too. I guess he would be interested in a pre-production unit too.

i've only got around six or seven available of the 2.7.4 units, or thereabouts. i need to keep two, one as a backup in case one gets damaged (it happens).

one way round that would be to use a VPN (i run one), set up the unit at one location and rsync packages over to it for testing in a chroot environment on the card. it'll... need a little coordination :)

or, i could in theory set up one of the two i need to keep hold of here in TW and leave it switched on 24x7?

I'm currently working on porting GuixSD on a BBB and have almost succeded to boot it. So porting EOMA68-A20 should only consist in picking the right kernel/u-boot as you stated.

yehyeh. the way i do different OSes is simply replace the root filesystem partition on pre-existing micro-sd cards. i'll make sure to include something (debian/testing armhf most likely - just don't do "apt-get update" on it as it will pull in a shed-load of stuff that's been done over the past... 2, 2.5 years)
