IMX6 platform has two stage boot loaders like SPL and U-Boot proper. For each stage we need to burn the image on to flash with respective offsets.
This patch create a single image using binman, so that user can get rid of burning different stage boot images.
without this patch:
$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=1 $ sudo dd if=u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=69
with this patch:
$ sudo dd if=u-boot-imx6-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=1
I am quite confused. There is already a "u-boot-with-spl.imx" target, this works since a lot of time. Which is the reason to duplicate this feature or where is the difference ?
At-least I did noticed this now, since it require explicit 'make u-boot-with-spl.bin' I hardly unaware before this been available for i.mx6.
But, this binman feature more extensible than the Makefile oriented and the same been adopting by many platforms. May be we can come-up with common solution with binman, what do you think?
First, I would like to avoid to have the same feature implemented multiple times in different ways.
If we can get the same solution for all platform, fine. But I guess i.MX is not the only one having such as target, socFPGA has the same solution.
