Cannot directly build for ${final_device}...
Building this whole set is counter-productive, and not likely to be what
is desired.
You can build the `-A build.default` attribute to build an empty and
un-configured image. That image can be configured using `local.nix`.
**Note that an unconfigured image may appear to hang at boot.**
An alternative is to use one of the `examples` system. They differ in their
configuration. An example that should be building, and working using
cross-compilation is the `examples/hello` system. Read its README for more
information.
$ nix-build examples/hello --argstr device ${final_device} -A build.default
