Orange PI 5

@ryan4yin's flake
A minimal flake that makes NixOS running on Orange Pi 5: https://github.com/ryan4yin/nixos-rk3588
Orange PI 5B
The next version of OPI5 which added eMMC and WIFI/BT by default.
Flake: https://github.com/fb87/nixos-orangepi-5x/blob/v5.10.x/flake.nix
This flake which is extended version of ryan4yin by adding bootloader by default to create the bootable SDImage( The prebuilt https://github.com/fb87/nixos-orangepi-5x/releases/download/v0.1.0/nixos-sd-image-23.05.20230613.c702c94-aarch64-linux.img.zst can already be used).
Note: bootloader requires `python2` which is no longer receiving updates since 2020. The `NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1` has to be passed in order to build.
