Hi,

Since the version included in Debian is too old, I am using kicad

Vulkan working with my GPU. The hardware I am designing will meet the
criteria for Respects Your Freedom (RYF) certification, I am going to
use an iCE40 FPGA and RP2040 which are known to have libre toolchains
and plan to package libsurvive on guix soon.

I'm interested on following your process here. In Guix I found some issues with RP2040 because the toolchain doesn't work in Guix out of the box... Some #include_next issue. If you search the mailing list, I reported this message before and I plan to work a little bit on that in the future, once I'm done with the projects I have open right now.

Hope you find a good workaround soon. Also there are some emails in the list that claim to have a fix for it, and I know that it worked, but I didn't test myself.

Best of the luck, feel free to ping me with your research or share a blog or something where I can follow your progress.

Best,
Ekaitz
