We can check whether the bup for a NixOS configuration matches the machine we're trying to deploy the NixOS system to. This aims to improve user experience: if the firmware doesn't support the expected board, the capsule update will fail and it's not clear why unless you inspect the serial logs. The check can be manually skipped by setting the SKIP_TEGRA_COMPAT_CHECK environment variable.
