=== <code>config.txt</code> ===
{{warning|Since 24.11, the option <code>boot.loader.raspberrypi</code> which included <code>firmwareConfig</code> is removed from <code>nixpkgs</code>, therefore changes have to be written to <code>config.txt</code> directly<ref>https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/241534</ref>}}
To edit options only available through <code>config.txt</code>, as of May 12, 2025, you can only do so non-declaratively:
{{commands|<nowiki>
$ sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/FIRMWARE /mnt
$ sudo vim /mnt/config.txt # <-- make changes here
</nowiki>}}
For example, [https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2020/11/overclocking-the-raspberry-pi-400/ overclocking] the Raspberry Pi 400 can be done by adding the following:
{{file|config.txt|text|<nowiki>
arm_freq=2000
over_voltage=6
</nowiki>}}
</nowiki>}}

== Customizing & Generating SD image without installation step ==
There's a nix-community project to support fine-grained kernel & config.txt, and generate the image directly:
