So now I can boot straight into a barebones GNU Guix system on my StarFive VisionFIve 2 RISC-V board from a MicroSD card. I had to patch "gnu/bootloader/u-boot.scm" in Guix to make this work:
codeberg.org/avp/guix/src/bran

No success with eMMC yet; it would be nice to create an image that works with eMMC as well.

@avp I have OrangePi RV2 (RISC-V, SpacemiT K1, RAM 8Gb) and got Guix working with it. Unfortunately the board uses vendor's kernel 6.6.63, u-boot and some blob in initrd, without which it will not boot according to their documentation.

My OrangePi RV (based on jh7110) is on the way. I guess, that it will boot with mainstream kernel (and linux-libre), but the relevant DTS files are still in linux-next.

My repository/channel for the both boards is here: https://code.goryachev.org/glarus/channel
