How it works
------------
-There is a new directory $(srctree)/spl which contains only a Makefile.
-The object files are built separately for SPL and placed in this directory.
+The object files for SPL are built separately and placed in the "spl" directory.
The final binaries which are generated are u-boot-spl, u-boot-spl.bin and
u-boot-spl.map.
-During the SPL build a variable named CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is exported
-in the make environment and also appended to CPPFLAGS with -DCONFIG_SPL_BUILD.
+A config option named CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is enabled by Kconfig for SPL.
Source files can therefore be compiled for SPL with different settings.
-ARM-based boards have previously used the option CONFIG_PRELOADER for it.
For example:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD),y)
-COBJS-y += board_spl.o
+obj-y += board_spl.o
else
-COBJS-y += board.o
+obj-y += board.o
endif

+obj-$(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) += foo.o

foo();
#endif
-The building of SPL images can be with:
-
-#define CONFIG_SPL 1
+The building of SPL images can be enabled by CONFIG_SPL option in Kconfig.
Because SPL images normally have a different text base, one has to be
configured by defining CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE. The linker script has to be

-Normally CPU is assumed to be the same between the SPL and normal
-u-boot build. However it is possible to specify a different CPU for
-the SPL build for cases where the SPL is expected to run on a
-different CPU model from the main u-boot. This is done by specifying
-an SPL CPU in boards.cfg as follows:
-
- normal_cpu:spl_cpu
-
-This case CPU will be set to "normal_cpu" during the main u-boot
-build and "spl_cpu" during the SPL build.
