Hi Patrick
I checked with Patrice the other boards and most of the cases the modified spl binay (u-boot-spl.bin/ u-boot-spl.ais / u-boot-spl.img / u-boot-spl.pbl / u-boot-spl.gph) are generated in spl directory. So I done the same for u-boot-spl.stm32.
All the NXP iMX6 variant boards deploy the SPL to the root folder :-)
The only case where it is populated in u-boot directory it is when it is concatenated with u-boot image (so the generated files depends on u-boot.bin) , but is not the case for us. Perhaps I miss so other cases ? Moreover I am working with YOCTO and using a sub-directory is not issue with latest version and with patch in poky/meta/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot.inc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ commit c6ab82882cd49be5510d1f8c967d0dc2da2490c2 Author: Nathan Rossi <nat...@nathanrossi.com> Fri Mar 25 10:07:12 2016 Committer: Richard Purdie <richard.pur...@linuxfoundation.org> Mon Mar 28 16:55:48 2016 u-boot.inc: Add sub-dir support for SPL_BINARY Add support for the SPL_BINARY variable to handle sub directories. In some cases the SPL binary that needs to be deployed is only built to the spl/ directory in U-Boot. So that a sub directory can be specified in the SPL_BINARY variable, handle the case so that the deploy code uses the basename of the path specified in SPL_BINARY. (From OE-Core rev: eb90d1c8fc7b82ca2593185930b3bf175f40ae13) Signed-off-by: Nathan Rossi <nat...@nathanrossi.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.pur...@linuxfoundation.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, I don't understood the blocking point, and other platform do the same (the reason of the patch). Even I agree that copy the generated u-boot-spl.stm32 in u-boot build directory could be easier (for BUILDROOT ?), I want keep the file spl/u-boot-spl.stm32 to avoid to break the current upstream effort of YOCTO BSP support for STM32MP157 board (which expect spl file in spl directory).
I got a new job (therefore new email address), so i don't have access to the Yocto source where I got into troubles with this. If i recall correctly we where using the SPI_BINARY variable when deploying the SPL and we should have been using the SPL_BINARYNAME.
So no need for this patch. /Sean _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
