-== Porting NixOS to new boards ==
+Plan
+First of all: describe the two main actors here:
+ - The platform firmware (U-Boot)
+ - The kernel (well... linux... duh...)
+And describe how both may or may not be needed to be handled. And that for NixOS support, support for the board needs to exist with the mainline projects. Though it is still possible to use an "unsupported" board otherwise.
+Sections:
+   - Building U-Boot
+     - Refer to the U-Boot page
+     - Add note that BSP U-Boot may not work with the infra, to follow "manually building U-Boot" at first.
+   - Kernel
+     - May need the an SD image with latest kernel.
+     - Kernels from vendor BSPs.
