Dear Jean-Christophe Lallemand,

I've stumbled upon SPL in my search for a good solution but my impression was that all the image loading stuff and therefore validation was not in there.

So add it?

So I thought that would solve half of my problems but create new ones and having a plain u-boot loading another u-boot would perhaps be a better approach.

I doubt that. You would have to run two different builds and/or modify the build process; instead you can have it all done in a simgle build, in a standard and community-supported way.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
