Yes; I'm currently running up-to-date versions of Guix System on a ROCK64 and a Pinebook Pro, both AArch64 systems from PINE64 (https://pine64.org/). I wrote at the time about my experience getting the ROCK64 up and running, including a sample operating-system definition: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-04/msg00153.html This is still essentially current, except there is no need for the ridiculous dance involving moving a jumper around; turns out U-Boot offers a command that makes it easy to start up from one device but finish booting from another. As others have noted, AArch64 support in Guix is generally quite good now, but a certain amount of patience is required. -- Simon South simon@simonsouth.net
