    Questions? #nixos-aarch64 (or #nixos) on Freenode!

  • https://github.com/NixOS/mobile-nixos/pull/361

    Though you might want to ask around for your particular use case. While basic support (it boots) is right around the corner, it's probably not yet at a point where it'll be nice to use.

    I'm curious to hear more details about issues you might have been facing.

    You can hit me us/me up on the Matrix channel[0] for "NixOS on ARM", tag me (@samueldr) on the Discourse[1], open an issue[2] if there's something actionable (and you didn't already), or I guess a reply here could do too, if you want.

  • nixwrt

    Discontinued This repo is dormant : NixWRT is being rewritten as Liminix

  • tl;dr: here are three commercial embedded NixOS uses and a couple of other embedded NixOS projects

    1. LumiGuide uses NixOS for their embedded systems, which track automatic bicycle rentals at little solar-powered stations IIRC: https://av.tib.eu/media/39625 (also some coverage here: https://www.worksonarm.com/blog/nixos/ )

    2. Yakkertech uses NixOS for their embedded systems, which do baseball pitch tracking: https://av.tib.eu/media/50713

    3. Swift Navigation uses NixOS for CI/CD for the embedded systems they use for GPS and navigation: https://blog.swiftnav.com/using-nixos-to-manage-hardware-tes...

    I'd only heard of the first two, and discover the third just now.

    There are also two downstream distros/related projects that target embedded systems, but idk how much commercial use they've yet seen, if any:

    a. https://github.com/telent/nixwrt

    b. https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os

  • linux

    Discontinued Actual repository is at https://xff.cz/git/linux (by megous)

  • Do you know more details how much the efforts progress regarding mainline support for mobile devices? I've only observed a lot of the discussions over at pmOS (and some at ArchLinuxARM for that matter), but to me it's very unclear what the "workflow" should look like if I would have, say a patch ready for my pinephone.

    A lot of efforts seem to be somehow widespread across the interwebz, with varying degrees of stability, and seem to be very uncoordinated or isolated efforts.

    I'm asking this, because I've seen that the nix file builds from megous' Linux fork [1] so I'm a bit unsure on how "official" it is in regards to whether or not pull requests/patches submitted there will be integrated upstream.

    (Sorry if I misunderstood it, but I'm a bit cautious having developed on dozens of abandoned forks of Linux kernels for Android/AOSP before - as most of them were a waste of development years due to no patron available or willing to merge fixes upstream)
