I knew CONFIG_SPL_BUILD value is supposed to be set by the build system (Makefille, during spl build).
But I found I had "config SPL_BUILD" with default "y" under my Kconfig in the board directory. Because this value was always "y", the board_init.c under common/init and some other files were not compiled. So I removed the SPL_BUILD in the board's Kconfig. Thanks.

The DDR is not ready yet in the board. A small scp chip(cortex-M7) will initialize clk and will load kernel(including initramfs), dtb, u-boot-spl, images to a small internal RAM. And the AP chip will start from the u-boot-spl. (I know some low-level init can be skipped) I added SPL related config settings and ran this command. make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- ab21m_defconfig make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- I see "u-boot/arch/arm/lib/crt0_64.S:88: undefined reference to `board_init_f_alloc_reserve'" error during the u-boot build. (not related to SPL). By comparing the build process with that of rk3036 board (arm board with SUPPORT_SPL, no SUPPORT_TPL), I found in my case even common/board_init.c is not compiled. Where should I look? I'm reading the documents or build scripts here and there but can't figure it out. Thank you. Chan Kim
