It is just an +attempt to get NixOS and its advantages to the Turris routers. Please poke to +these topics if you have some free time. + +These are big tasks. For the smaller ones please use Gitlab issues. + + +== Bugs to be solved + +Generate template configuration in `/etc/nixos/`:: This is common way +the installation of NixOS proceeds. We would use it only with NixOS rebuild on +site but we should still do it. + +PCIe on Omnia does not work:: There are patches that make it work on Turris OS +and attempt to port them to this repository but some important patch seems to be +still missing as it doesn't work. + +Boot files should be copied to `/boot` on tarball:: The standard syslinux +generator copies boot files (linux, initrd and dtb) to `/boot` while current +implementation in tarball keeps them in Nix store. This prevents installation on +separate boot partition. + +Native build for Turris Omnia doesn't work:: There are multiple packages that +fail to build when compiled natively on armv7. This can be either due to Qemu or +more likely that they are just not prepared to be build on armv7. The most of +the packages fail their test phases as they most likely expect 64bit system. + + +== Improvements to be tackled + +Firewall configuration with zones and masquarade:: The NixOS firewall should be +expanded or replaced by firewall configuration that provides multiple zones with +ability to set NAT between them. + +Easier Wi-Fi AP configuration:: There should be some better way to configure +Wi-Fi without reading load of documentation on how to setup Hostapd. One option +is to have minimal user configuration and fill the rest when generating +configuration based on Wi-Fi adapter. The second and probably easier option is +to just provide simple configuration with verified settings for the Wi-Fi cards +shipped with Turris routers. + +Minimal system build:: The Nix evaluation consumes considerable amount of RAM +and thus it is not possible to rebuild NixOS on the device itself without using +SWAP. The option is to cut out all modules that are just not required as they +deal with graphics output and desktop. The initial work on that is already +started in this repository but issue is that even core modules depend on desktop +specific ones. + +Nix build of U-Boot:: The initial support for this is already present but we are +missing some helper script to flash files to the appropriate block devices. The +Turris Mox firmware also requires combination with ARM Trusted Firmware which is +not done yet. + +Boot modes on Omnia to select previous profiles:: By modifying the U-Boot +environment for rescue we might be able to use Omnia standard LEDs rescue mode +selection to select older profiles. The selected led is passed just by set +environment variable to the U-Boot script but we would have to patch the U-Boot +to change the rescue environment. |
