The friendlyelec nanopi t6 uses a forked kernel [1] and the build 
sequence is defined in [2] with a 'make' defined in [3]. The 'make' 
command also generates a 'resource.img' which is included in the 
construction of the image [4]

I guess that if I'm unable to add the target to the menuconfig kernel 
build options then I'll have to create the resource.img in a post-build 
script.

Just trying to avoid writing another script :)
