Could you add a few words and a link to a page that describes this
board?

I=E2=80=99m afraid of having a large collection of boards listed there that=
 few
people will even know about.  :-)  Also, were you able to successfully
run GuixSD on this board?

I=E2=80=99m also unsure we need to have one variable for each possible boar=
d.
We are not going to distribute installation images for each of these
boards anyway.

Perhaps it makes sense to have them *if* they are discoverable or listed
in the manual, *and* we provide instructions for people to build their
own installation image for these boards.

Thoughts?
