Hi Danny,
thanks for your insightful comments and starting work on uboot!

Their argument is that you may as well use USB, with USB-3.1 in the future.
I am more surprised by the absence of ethernet in EOMA68.

However, I think it's more trustworty than the usual x86_64-nobody-knows-what-it's-doing - so I still compile things directly on it, if possible.
Did you try installing Guix on it? This should work and allow you to use
binary substitutes for armhf, I think.
