I don't know a lot about setting up arm boards, but if I understand it correctly, u-boot -> kernel -> guixsd image, where u-boot and the kernel get updated in tandem. I wish you much luck with getting GuixSD to run on an arm board, I think ma= ny of us are looking forward to this working. --=20 Efraim Flashner =D7=90=D7=A4=D7=A8=D7=99=D7=9D = =D7=A4=D7=9C=D7=A9=D7=A0=D7=A8 GPG key =3D A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted --Sig_/L_TxjxiNm1MUxFmlYYOv9kv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWm0xzAAoJEPTB05F+rO6Tj6gP/RjG9w0eo2HaTSPd4mGKcL1f fuQP57G87CiyeE+SSX+zn2bAa3OQ6C84OqsreXjWPXAcswKHKFVcbTNPSGsq99lH ZjnOSeCIjKAkSHgqg9vVgrZGBKwGB73dwE219wbsPBxNNCf6Y6TKDUxQeP9YAT/O T6bgzE46wdgLOHhr9tnxAcy/3yZwwasQAROOCoiOdKCMhijIuGkQyr1dFc++FDDa LcPKdph4wX3BZW5+FpfnQpBo2jdHL8TdcZUhTU6Nqv68zoTfmKm11Z2ROs29hQBs ckj4OxMzuMe0TwXcUIGRRMalsNa7M/Vg0QCe2rrqzfgaviZRgpaqMrMWvw2BJ42W O3/9anYTitLyD8RL/YRjANSMW3rPKj0H5D+r1H3HCMmyvkA5GQ0yxVn+l+WJ1RWf dgmpxTbiz6Rk/p63NZyYcHuv80Dl7MWt2Q0CJo4r01iUK+1KZjZ5Vi6t4feO7z4R lw034rKa4e7FRfhxU05XM9dBTUoGfopHFDJMUYMA936TYiHr2SVrLnRhPHiIMhD0 aAqotTx2fkMcgsNnyqQfW0oyH5052ABnJHTG+E0gD11CIq1/Q7uWSA7jbAuO+6lN O+fDFd836aLAfWyD4j5TY9QJHI4P5POko/Unq769xg7PnCOG9IM83eLLa+LJjLIS jQDO4dn8YhruuMtrOwop =MVhw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/L_TxjxiNm1MUxFmlYYOv9kv--
