<p>While I'm waiting for my MNT Pocket Reform to ship I've decided to start working on porting NixOS to it. There are a couple of people mentioning NixOS on the <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://community.mnt.re">MNT forum</a> but I haven't seen anyone using NixOS on a Pocket Reform with the A311D module, yet.</p> <p>To be able to do this I've bought a Banana Pi CM4 and the IO expansion baseboard, this setup is missing a lot of the hardware the MNT computer has - notably the LPC (system controller), real-time clock, the keyboard with its integrated menu, an M.2 slot, the screen, and probably more - but it's still better than to write everything blind.</p>

<p>I'm running 3 Odroid HC4 storage servers, they're really neat, especially if you <em>don't</em> use the provided toaster case. For the past few weeks I have been slowly migrating all my computers to NixOS and I'd very much like to migrate these aarch64 SBCs as well, especially since I've been running Armbian on them which is missing a lot of packages I need. I was scared of installing NixOS on ARM because the docs seem to be written for people who know what they're doing, and I still feel like I don't know anything about NixOS.</p>

<p>This post is notes I took while (and after) flashing my X230 with libreboot. I might edit this later properly.</p>

<p>In this project I've bought cheap STLink clones, found out they don't support debugging RP2040 and then fixed them using FOSS firmware replacement which also made them way better.</p>

<p>In this project I've tried using a Raspberry Pi Pico as a very cheap logic analyzer. From my crude testing it seems to be able to run at up to 120MHz and collect up to 50k samples.</p>

<p>Some notes about how the new Matrix movie seems to talk about non-binarity a lot and specifically about the character Bugs. <strong class="red">SPOILERS AHEAD</strong></p>
