It seems that Caliph Nomble succeeded to build a Pinebook Pro image and booted it, without graphics, after a few fixes: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45584.

Yes we could always decide to stop supporting native ARMv7 substitutes and only focus on the cross-building to provide ready to use image for this architecture. >> All that is not a reason to not support armhf, but if nobody is using >> it, then we should officially deprecate it, and not leave it in this >> in-between state. > > I'm not using it because I can't make it work.
