So add a tertiary -program loader (TPL) to enable a loader stub loaded by the code from the -SPL. It loads the final uboot image into DDR, then jump to it to begin -execution. Now, only the powerpc mpc85xx has this requirement and will -implemente it. - -Keep consistent with SPL, with this framework almost all source files for a -board can be reused. No code duplication or symlinking is necessary anymore. - -How it works ------------- - -There has been a directory $(srctree)/spl which contains only a Makefile. The -Makefile is shared by SPL and TPL. - -The object files are built separately for SPL/TPL and placed in the -directory spl/tpl. The final binaries which are generated are -u-boot-{spl|tpl}, u-boot-{spl|tpl}.bin and u-boot-{spl|tpl}.map. - -During the TPL build a variable named CONFIG_TPL_BUILD is exported in the -make environment and also appended to CPPFLAGS with -DCONFIG_TPL_BUILD. - -The SPL options are shared by SPL and TPL, the board config file should -determine which SPL options to choose based on whether CONFIG_TPL_BUILD -is set. Source files can be compiled for TPL with options chosen in the -board config file. - -TPL use a small device tree (u-boot-tpl.dtb), containing only the nodes with -the pre-relocation properties: 'bootph-all' and 'bootph-pre-sram' -(see doc/develop/spl.rst for details). - -For example: - -spl/Makefile: -LIBS-$(CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT) += common/libcommon.o - -CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT is defined in board config file: -#ifdef CONFIG_TPL_BUILD -#define CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT -#endif
