We should try to get rid of the need to create symbolic links. If we use the same source files as for the "normal", then we should also use the normal object files.
By using something like CONFIG_UBOOT_SPL_BUILD in the make environment and as CFLAG all code can be reused without symlinking or copying. You need only a separate directory for putting the object files in.
+1 for reusing existing stuff but changing it a little bit to be able to work as spl(driver) where this is necessary
- How do we handle the type of SPLs that handle different media. For
instance omap3 spl will support mmc and NAND. Can we have a directory tree starting with 'spl/'? If so, how does this tree share generic code
Yes, this makes a lot of sense to me - see above.
available in media specific directories such as nand_spl/ and mmc_spl/. Symbolic links?
No. Let's put this stuff into spl/common/
To use the spl directory as remote build directory, the obj and src variables must be tweaked a little. To keep this changes minimal, it is not possible to have further source files and directories inside the spl directory. I suggest to put common spl code in TOPDIR/lib/spl/common, TOPDIR/lib/spl/nand and so on.
sounds better to me than having a complete new tree under /spl
