RPi zero/1/2 support?

Open bensleveritt opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Is it possible to build RPi 0/1/2 images with this tool at the moment? I can only see a reference to RPi 3 devices at present.

there is no image for arm6 raspberries right now. So basically no. As I also lack hardware to test that, someone else has to test/verify/contribute that.

Ah! So not a technical limitation? I'm game for trying to set up arm6 support, any tips on how to start?

technically it should work if it works with nixpkgs, you can try to follow this https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/Raspberry_Pi and "cross" compiling with binfmt should also be possible. Stuff could take a while to build, since I guess there is no binary cache for this architecture.

Hey @bensleveritt did you already try smth here? I already need one for my PI 1 and 2 :D. Maybe you already started and succeeded or stuck somewhere?

I never managed it, but I'd be up for collaborating if you're interested
