Wondering what necessitated this change from the old variable name to a
new name...

gnu: u-boot-am335x-evm-boneblack: Fix variable name.
* gnu/packages/bootloaders.scm (u-boot-am335x-boneblack): Rename to...
(u-boot-am335x-evm-boneblack), to match the package name.
* gnu/bootloader/u-boot.scm (u-boot-beaglebone-black-bootloader): Adjust
accordingly.

;; Patch out other device trees to build an image small enough to fit
The u-boot-am335x-boneblack was named to match the original target that
was removed from upstream, adapting the upstream am335x-evm to fit into
a smaller gap in the partition tables... (e.g. 2MB partition offset
instead of 4MB offset required by the default am335x-evm board
configuration).
Was this a side-effect of some of the changes that were implemented with
the raspberry pi series? Is the name change actually needed in some way,
or is it just "housecleaning" ? It doesn't actually "match" the name of
the target, which is "am335x_evm", not "am335x_evm_boneblack".
I would think keeping the old name would allow for seamless upgrades. Or
at least leaving a deprecated package placeholder or something like that
if the rename is actually needed... but a little unclear on the
situation at the moment.
With all that said... having 512MB of ram, I wonder how well a
beaglebone black would do running guix at all...
Are people actually using some of these low-end boards with guix? I'll
admit, I added a bunch of them in my early days of enthusiastically
contributing to guix... but wonder if they are pragmatic to use.
live well,
