EOMA68-A20 preproduction unit for dev work

EOMA68-A20 preproduction unit for dev work

[Eric Bavier]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 667 bytes --]

Hello Guix,

There may be an opportunity to get a preproduction EOMA68-A20 unit from
lkcl.  He'd like them to be used for either hardware or software
development.  I'm not sure that I have the time or necessary experience
to help in that way myself, but I'd like to still support the project
and I'd really like to see Guix(SD) up and running there.

I know we already have a few people here who have been working on
arm/aarch64 things.  If anyone is interested in working towards
Guix(SD) on the EOMA68-A20, I'd be willing to sponsor the cost of the
preproduction hardware.  Please let me know so that we can discuss with
lkcl and arrange it.

`~Eric

Hey Eric, always exciting to see posts in in the lists for one project you're interested in about other projects you're interested in.

For what its worth I will be receiving a preproduction unit from lkcl.  I will prioritize whatever Luke needs first, but I would like to work on porting GuixSD as it is my preferred distro and the best path forward for GNU.

That being said I'd encourage anyone else interested to peruse it as well as I have no idea how long it may take me.

Very cool!

Sounds like a good plan.  I also think they're both important projects,
so thank you for your help already.

We may have a small team of people working on it then. :)

Right, I remember seeing this conversation.  And now there's another
concrete opporunity.

Your bootloader patches have been really great!  It'd be great to have
you working on the EOMA68.  Let's discuss. :)

Louis Pearson bring this subject a few month ago on this ML :

I'm currently working on porting GuixSD on a beaglebone black, and would
still be really interested by the EOMA68-A20 board :)

Thanks,

Mathieu
