Our 'qmk' package now contains all that is needed to build Arduino based
firmwares, and you can also use the 'qmk-make-firmware' procedure to
generate a customized firmware.  For my ErgoDox keyboard, I use the
following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (gnu packages firmware)
             (guix gexp))

(define-public qmk-firmware-dvorak-emacs-software-custom
  (make-qmk-firmware
   "ergodox_ez" "dvorak_emacs_software_custom"
   #:keymap-source-directory (local-file "dvorak_emacs_software"
                                         #:recursive? #t)))

qmk-firmware-dvorak-emacs-software-custom
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

where 'dvorak_emacs_software' is a directory containing keymap.c and
supporting files.
