Adding a new board?

There are no detailed instructions on how to add a new board or even a whole new board family to the build script yet. However there are a few commits / pull requests that give clues how to achieve that like

• A whole new SoC family — Nexell S5P6818 (NanoPC-T3+, NanoPi M3, NanoPi Fire3): a recent, end-to-end example — three board configs, a new family definition, boot environment and boot script, a kernel config, u-boot support, and the full mainline bring-up patch series.
