It turns out that getting into U-Boot using the TinkerOS image, halting the boot process, replacing SD cards with the NixOS image fails, but the error message suggests the extlinux merely has a different name for the DTB than NixOS has packaged. Simply copy from the nixos dtb file `/boot/nixos/<hash>-dtbs/rk3288-tinker.dtb` to `rockchip-tinker_rk3288.dtb` (possibly `rockchip-miniarm_rk3288.dtb`, TODO: examine U-Boot output to see what DTB it tries to read).
