Binman certainly lets you add multiple things in, but the bin: stuff
is not supported. If it is simply a case of joining the ddr and SPL
then you do that with:
mkimage {
args = ...
ddrl {
type = "blob-ext";
filename = "rk3568_ddr_1560MHz_v1.12.bin";
};
u-boot-spl {
};
};
At present mkimage is not a subclass of Entry_section, so alignment
and padding of the mkimage input are not supported. But that should be
easy enough to change, if needed.
