This project is huge. Some dependencies are already in Nixpkgs, some are upstream, some are in ngi-nix repositories, some apparently still unpackaged. This needs to be sorted out and broken down into separate tasks.

The end goal is to build the latest design with one command. It's more likely though that getting components packaged will simply benefit other hardware designers.

The lead developer seems to be quite frustrated with the Nix community's development model and past interactions with Nix maintainers. I propose that we stay out of the way and just make everything work on our side.
