What device(s) use the imx8mq? Is that the chip in the Librem 5? I've added some people who might be interested in the chip. I suppose at first glance I'd prefer using the vendor fork (assuming there's some form of ongoing maintenance) over keeping the older version.

Librem 5 and MNT Reform are probably the most interesting platforms I am aware of. > I've added some people who might be interested in the chip.

Although imx8mq (at least the platforms I am aware of) all still require blobs to initialize the DDR, so will likely never fully land in guix proper (at least at the boot firmware level)... which is why I maybe learn towards dropping it entirely. live well, vagrant
