I think this would be a great project for Guix. It's something that Guix should be really good at, once all the wrinkles are ironed out. Although the BeagleBone Black is a very nice computer in many way, I do recommend against it for Guix System because our build farm support for its CPU architecture (armhf) is currently sub-par. And the BBB's CPU is optimized for low-power use, so building packages on it will be slow. I would search for a 64-bit ARM computer. That is, the "aarch64" CPU architecture. We have better build farm support and it will probably continue to improve.
