	~~== Native support for raspi in nixpkgs ==~~

	~~Since a couple of months hydra also builds nixpkgs for arm64. Additionally some configuration is already in nixpkgs for raspi2 and raspi1, however no binary cache is available.~~

	~~Raspi3 should be natively supported but right now there is no guide on how to build an image and install it.~~
	~~There is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/sd-image-aarch64.nix but the image really is nowhere to be found.~~

	~~== QEMU support ==~~

	~~As of June 2016, the versatile build of u-boot isn't built anymore.~~

	~~Furthermore, the pre-built image is not present anymore on the mirror.~~

	~~U-Boot: Drop Versatile build~~

	~~I had broken this at some point and the patch conflicts quite often.~~
	~~Hopefully soon the Raspberry Pi 2 emulation in QEMU can be used instead.~~

			== Option boot.loader.grub.devices ==

			I am currently trying to setup a Raspberry Pi and neither on the ARM installation page, the default configuration, nor this page here, does the required option "boot.loader.grub.devices" come up.

			With my configuration, the system requires me to set this.

			This is my configuration: https://gist.github.com/ShalokShalom/f5b190f531d354614a7319a7f3d22fc1

			== Distributed Builds ==

			I've added a short section about using an aarch64 remote builder to speed up builds for armv6l and armv7l (With the advent of the raspberry pi 4, this is probably a relatively convenient way to run nixos on the raspberry pi 1 / raspberry pi zero(w) without suffering very long build times). It might make sense to merge it with the section on cross-compiling with qemu, which also mentions distributed builds briefly, but I wasn't sure how best to do it.
