Thanks, got it working with your clarification on #spectrum

My 2 cents for example newer hurts, like adding:

export NIX_PATH=$NIX_PATH:spectrum-config=$(pwd)/path/to/config.nix

Also, outside the scope of this review - changing the default x86 build 
to use the build config.nix structure and work as reference would be 
nice development and help further board enabled / architecture porting 
effort as board-specific configs are preferred out-of-tree.

Best,
