I don't really follow this thread, but you should not use CONFIG_OF_EMBED. If there is a problem with setting up the image with CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE, we should discuss it.

Simon,
Did you see my patches following this email? They resolve the issues with S10 around CONFIG_OF_EMBED.
--dalon
The CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE doesn't generate a combined image anymore ? Seems like it does at least on the renesas platforms (cfr e.g. stout_defconfig, where I use exactly that).
It generates a combined binary, u-boot-spl-dtb.bin, as far as i know. The elf is not combined, so using objcopy on the elf results in a hex file without the dtb. Stratix 10 needs a combined hex file that starts at CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE. This file is then combined by quartus with the fpga image. The SDM loads the spl image into the cpu's onchip ram and releases it from reset.
So what i am trying to do is get a hex file generated that is appriopriate for the quartus tools. With CONFIG_OF_EMBED, this was easy, as you just run objcopy on the elf to create the hex output. With CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE you need the combined binary to do the same. hence,
+OBJCOPYFLAGS_u-boot-spl-dtb.hex := -I binary -O ihex --change-

Aha, right. CCing Simon, maybe he has some better idea.
Otherwise, let's add the custom target. Maybe we can add it to arch/arm/mach-socfpga instead though.
After a quick test to add the target to mach-socfpga instead of the root Makefile, it seems i would still need to modify the root Makefile to call the mach-socfpga makefile for the target in any case. If acceptable, i think it cleaner to just add the target to the root Makefile.
I think that's fine. The root Makefile is growing like dough. that needs to stop.
