In my last post, we built whole disk images for embedded systems using Nix. This approach is well suited for RISC-V or ARM systems, but you probably don’t have a powerful build box for this architecture. You wouldn’t want to build a Linux kernel for hours on a RISC-V single-board computer praying that you don’t run out of RAM… In this blog post, we will use the same NixOS configuration to cross-compile system images for x86, RISC-V and ARM from our powerful x86 build server. Let’s g...
