Subject: Banana Pi BPI-R4 support?
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2023 20:34:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <05sgMIbuIRYW2WKp8psTguzl398bdx0Pm_E8JxTLiL7KuoWBvGjmakBiisSxSSZD84Pw_RNLRZNIbQ98ZYQFo7X_tBuFVgXky6CCDlG1zmo=@lendvai.name> (raw)

dear Guix,

i'm hoping to run Guix on this Arm Corex-A73 board:

https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R4

MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880)

i'm clueless about how to add support for a new platform to guix, but i'm experienced in guile, and in hacking near the metal.

with that in mind: how hard/hopeless would this task be? both 1) technically (if we ignore any possible use of blobs), and also 2) regarding the FSDG standard?

i don't see any mention of MT7988A here:

https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/admin/repos/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a,general

i'd appreciate some bird's eye view insights before i get lost in a pointless struggle.
