Closing for now- I don't think I'll have time to maintain this. |
This platform is intended to target the Novena laptop, based on the ARM i.MX6 board. As such the platform uses configuration for that chipset until support for the Novena kernel is added. Following the lead of the Raspberry Pi 2, the platform is configured for binary compatibility with the Beaglebone despite a possible performance hit.

I'm going to reopen this as I do in fact have time to maintain this. |

The kernel is currently fetched from Xobs' GitHub repository, which I'm under the assumption is being upstreamed. This sets the platform's defconfig to be specific to the Novena, which unfortunately breaks builds not using this kernel.
This pulls from Xobs' upstream and installs binaries around the system.

Do you still want this to be merged? |

At the moment I don't have a board to test this with, so not at the moment.
Might be worth closing it until I do another one that involves platform-specific
hacks.

@Jookia I will close this one for the moment (it's conflicting with recent merges anyway). |

Motivation for this change
This set of patches adds the 'novena' platform, the 'novena' variant and 'novena' u-boot package. With this you can now run NixOS on your Novena! At least as a terminal, there's still a lot more to be done.
Pinging @viric for possible review on this since I've spoken about this before
