It is going to be merged into nixpkgs, under `nixos/hardware`. This will give better discoverability, and considering the low turnover (less than 100 commits in the last year and only 350 total) it won’t make any dent on the size of nixpkgs. We have a monorepo, let’s use it.

** Status

|
|
|
The code in master as of June 2015 should be able to prepare a bootable NixOS
|
|
for Raspberry PI 2.
|
|
|
|
There are still some drawbacks:
|
|
|
|
NixOS does not provide a /boot/config.txt (the FAT32 partition). Making NixOS
|
|
work in the Raspberry PI 2 is mainly the result of the recent work of ambro718,
|
|
Dezgeg and viric (#nixos@irc.freenode.net).

If you want to test, you can flash this 4GB SD image (DOS partition table +
|
|
fat32 + ext4 rootfs):
|
|
|
|
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0def3f6acb3bceddb22cb24098f58e40e2853ec2&dn=rpi2-nixos-4b09501f2-img.xz&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80
|
|
|
|
Then you should be able to nixos-rebuild any configuration.nix changes.
|
|
|
|
The image is the result of a "nixos-install" alone. No root password has been
|
|
set, and it does not include a nixpkgs checkout or channel. In fact I (viric)
|
|
created the FS into a NBD, not a real SD, to create this image.
