Description
Is there anyone who has experiences with the NovaCustom NV56/NV54 with GPUs?
Does the laptop boot at all?
I could see they are supported in Dasharo's coreboot, so I assume Heads can just be build with the Dasharo fork?
There is a discussion thread here: https://novacustom.com/forum/d/361-v54v56-nvidia-gpu-qubesos-certification-megathread/5. But not active for a few months.
But @wessel-novacustom mentioned here they have trouble to get GPU boards and can't focus on Heads support due to this, because it would be unreasonable to spent dev time on it.
If someone can confirm Qubes boots normally and can be used, I would be willing to buy one and be assigned as maintainer here.

Research direction
Review Dasharo's config.novacustom_v540tnx and the linked NovaCustom discussion, then compare them with the Heads build path. Establish whether Qubes boots and is usable on the NV56/NV54 GPU variants, and document the findings and any required support work.
