System configuration
None of the basic components (Kernel, HW acceleration drivers) are available from upstream NixOS.
Building a working system requires additional configuration.
@ryan4yin's flake
A minimal NixOS flake running on Orange Pi 5: https://github.com/ryan4yin/nixos-rk3588
The basic idea is to boot from the armbian's uboot, flash it to the SPI flash first.
Then build the NixOS's rootfs with armbian's customized kernel https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/tree/rk-5.10-rkr4.
