# Hardware configuration for the primary Raspberry Pi 4 (8 GB).
#
# SD card layout assumed:
# /dev/mmcblk0p1 — /boot/firmware (FAT32, ~256 MB)
# /dev/mmcblk0p2 — / (ext4)
# nixos-raspberrypi's raspberry-pi-4.base module (imported in flake.nix)
# provides everything that nixos-hardware.raspberry-pi-4 previously did:
# - linuxPackages_rpi4 vendor kernel + matching firmware
# - u-boot bootloader with /boot/firmware partition management
# - initrd modules (xhci_pci, usbhid, usb_storage, vc4, pcie_brcmstb, etc.)
# - config.txt generation
#
# This file adds only host-specific overrides on top of that.
#
# External HD:
# Set homey.storage.device to the by-id path of your USB drive.
# Example: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_Elements_12345-0:0-part1
# Find it with: ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/
#
# To generate this file fresh after installing NixOS on the Pi, run:
# nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config
# and merge the output here.
# TODO: Verify SD card partition labels after first flash.
# The config assumes labels NIXOS_SD (root) and FIRMWARE (boot).
# Check with: lsblk -o NAME,LABEL
# Update fileSystems entries below if they differ.
