Hi Heinrich,

The SPL image for the Tinker Board has to fit into 32 KiB. This includes up to 2 KiB for the file header.
32KB is the limit of SPL size, not SPL image size, does not include 2KB header.
A new configuration variable CONFIG_SPL_SIZE_LIMIT is introduced to define the board specific limit.
There is already CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE for the SPL size limit, isn't it? I don't understand why we need new variable.
SPL_MAX_SIZE is used to set CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO if CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO is not defined. If CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO is defined it specifies the maximum value of CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO. So in case CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO is not defined SPL_MAX_SIZE does not specify a maximum size but a minimum one.
It is unclear to me why Benoît in 6113d3f27ca ("Makefile: Change CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO to image offset") chose this design. Entangling the variables in this way does not provide a clean design.
The check
#if defined(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) ASSERT(__image_copy_end - __image_copy_start < (IMAGE_MAX_SIZE), \ "SPL image too big"); #endif
in arch/arm/cpu/u-boot-spl.lds neither considers the size of the device tree nor of the BSS section. So at least for Rockchip SOCs it is checking a measure that is not directly related to the image size created by `mkimage -T rksd`.
Best regards

A common Makefile function is used for this test and the test against CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT.
Move the board size check from arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile to Makefile.
v4: use a common function for all size checks in the Makefiles
