I don=E2=80=99t have a lot of details for you, but I can confirm that I=E2= =80=99ve used Guix on three armhf boards: BeagleBone Black, veyron_speedy (ASUS C201), and veyron_minnie (ASUS C100PA). For the BeagleBone, it required using an older version of U-Boot. Upstream U-Boot has stopped supporting it. Our package patches support back in, but it didn=E2=80=99t work for me. I believe I=E2=80=99ve tried t= o use Guix on it three times and only succeeded once. If you have a BeagleBone Black and want to use Guix, let me know. I could track down my notes and see if I can still produce a usable image. For the Veyron boards, it is starting to work quite well. The current version of U-Boot can boot these boards, but you can also boot U-Boot from the stock firmware (which is Depthcharge). This is needed because the Guix initial RAM disk is too big for Depthcharge to boot directly. The point I=E2=80=99m trying to make is that Guix can be made to work on ar= mhf, but it is not at all smooth sailing. There are usually one or two things that need fixing before it will work. IME, we are close to having a decent experience, but we=E2=80=99re definitely not there yet. The saving grace is that Guix makes working on these things pretty painless. -- Tim
