not sure if useful but I'm running an u-boot that supports /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf: https://forums.puri.sm/t/can-someone-with-serial-console-access-try-nixos-kernel-on-librem-5/19121/27

Yes, that's why there's a custom u-boot packages in this repository. This note is still here from the previous PR I'm continuing and I haven't cleaned up everything yet.

I'm wondering if there is a conflict? Should mobile-nixos contain this, or is nixos-hardware the correct place to put it? |

Given that we haven't received a response yet and https://mobile.nixos.org/devices/index.html also looks like it doesn't support that many devices officially after all, I am going to merge this for now as I suspect a bandwidth issue in the project. After all it might depend a bit on your usecase and what do you want to do with the phone (from my understanding mobile-nixos also adds many things on top of nixos). |
