| == Status ==
| |
| The code in master as of June 2015 should be able to prepare a bootable NixOS for Raspberry PI 2.
| |
|
| |
|
| | | #REDIRECT [[NixOS_on_ARM/Raspberry_Pi]] |
| 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).
| |
| | |
| == Download ==
| |
| 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%3A80magnet link (viric)]

| {{notice|text=nixpkgs contain code to [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/sd-image-aarch64.nix build the sd-image for aarch64] but this is not currently built by hydra. Cross-building is unavailable for this, you will need another AARCH64 machine}}
| |
| | |
| 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.
