Hi,

quick answer: What is the status of GuixSD for Raspberry? Searching the
web did not help finding this out.

GuixSD has not been ported to ARM in general.  Porting means adding
support for U-Boot and the kernel with the right settings for the target
board.

Danny would know better, but it seems to me that there’s little that’s
missing!

Thanks,

I don't know if the RPi needs a special kernel or not, but I don't
believe we currently have support for booting with u-boot. Also, the
xorg-service needs to be modified to only use the intel driver on intel
machines.

Some (recent) versions of the single-board computer Raspberry Pi use the
ARMv8-A architecture, a.k.a. Aarch64, which is supported by GuixSD,
AFAIK.

It’s supported by Guix, not by GuixSD.  :-)
