I agree! My initial look into it suggested that, like armhf and aarch64, we'd need a separate image for each riscv64 board. I eventually found this¹ page for installing Debian on the StarFive VisionFive1 board (limited run, poorly supported upstream), which suggested that the vendor u-boot image should be able to load an EFI image and boot that way. Playing with this is high on my todo list. ¹ https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/StarFive/VisionFiveV1 -- Efraim Flashner <efraim@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 833 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

It works, although last time `guix pull` failed for me, but I believe pull randomly succeeds on some days. https://guix.gnu.org/download/latest/ Regards, Florian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The last time I tried it the board wasn't stable, but it might've been the SDcard I was using. The last round of power blips we had I corrupted the SDcard in my unmatched board so I had to rebuild it, but now I can actually run guix deploy to update it. -- Efraim Flashner <efraim@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 833 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
